performance-profiling

performance-profiling is a skill for Claude Code from beita6969/ScienceClaw. It costs 61 tokens per session (1,849 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of Python tools for finding slow parts of computational simulations, measuring how performance changes as problems or processor counts grow, and estimating memory needs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read timing logs, study strong or weak scaling, estimate memory from simulation parameters, and get optimization recommendations.
Why use it?
It helps explain why a simulation is slow or may run out of memory, so you can choose focused optimizations and plan computing resources.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

performance-profiling scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/bottleneck_detector.py, scripts/memory_profiler.py, scripts/scaling_analyzer.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 256 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Performance Profiling

Goal

Provide tools to analyze simulation performance, identify bottlenecks, and recommend optimization strategies for computational materials science simulations.

Requirements

  • Python 3.8+
  • No external dependencies (uses Python standard library only)
  • Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows

Inputs to Gather

Before running profiling scripts, collect from the user:

Input Description Example
Simulation log Log file with timing information simulation.log
Scaling data JSON with multi-run performance data scaling_data.json
Simulation parameters JSON with mesh, fields, solver config params.json
Available memory System memory in GB (optional) 16.0

Decision Guidance

When to Use Each Script

Need to identify slow phases?
├── YES → Use timing_analyzer.py
│         └── Parse simulation logs for timing data
│
Need to understand parallel performance?
├── YES → Use scaling_analyzer.py
│         └── Analyze strong or weak scaling efficiency
│
Need to estimate memory requirements?
├── YES → Use memory_profiler.py
│         └── Estimate memory from problem parameters
│
Need optimization recommendations?
└── YES → Use bottleneck_detector.py
          └── Combine analyses and get actionable advice

Choosing Analysis Thresholds

Metric Good Acceptable Poor
Phase dominance <30% 30-50% >50%
Parallel efficiency >0.80 0.70-0.80 <0.70
Memory usage <60% 60-80% >80%

Script Outputs (JSON Fields)

Script Key Outputs
timing_analyzer.py timing_data.phases, timing_data.slowest_phase, timing_data.total_time
scaling_analyzer.py scaling_analysis.results, scaling_analysis.efficiency_threshold_processors
memory_profiler.py memory_profile.total_memory_gb, memory_profile.per_process_gb, memory_profile.warnings

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

performance-profiling is a skill published in the GitHub repository beita6969/ScienceClaw (898 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 1,849 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
