perf-audit

perf-audit is a skill for Claude Code from berkcangumusisik/claude-code-practices. It costs 25 tokens per session (279 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code review that looks for operations likely to slow an application, such as repeated database queries, unnecessary screen updates, blocking work, memory leaks, and missing caching.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit a file, function, or source directory, prioritize bottlenecks in frequently run code, and review performance issues in databases, APIs, and front-end applications.
Why use it?
It helps locate the parts of a program that waste time or resources before attempting changes. Each finding includes the affected code, its likely impact, and a proposed fix.

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

perf-audit 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 8d ago.

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.

What it actually says

Performance Audit

Target: $1 (or src/ if not specified)

Database / API

  • N+1 query patterns (loop with query inside)
  • Missing indexes (queries on non-indexed columns)
  • Fetching all fields when only a few are needed (SELECT *)
  • Sequential async calls that could be parallel (Promise.all)

Frontend

  • Expensive computations on every render (should use useMemo)
  • Event listeners added without cleanup
  • Large imports not code-split (import * from)
  • Images without lazy loading or size hints

General

  • Synchronous operations that block the event loop
  • Memory leaks (closures holding references)
  • Redundant data transformation loops (can be combined)
  • Missing caching for expensive operations

For each finding:

  1. Show the problematic code
  2. Explain the performance impact
  3. Show the fix
  4. Estimate improvement (rough order of magnitude)

Prioritize by impact: fix things that run in hot paths (request handlers, render functions, loops) first.

Changes

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.
