optimization

optimization is a skill for Claude Code from Bilal140202/the-lord-of-the-skills. It costs 52 tokens per session (692 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of optimization, MIT.

A method for making software faster, smaller, or more efficient by measuring its real performance and finding the main bottlenecks first.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to improve latency, throughput, memory use, CPU use, startup time, build time, database queries, token usage, or cost.
Why use it?
It prevents guesswork and avoids spending time on small code changes while larger problems remain. It helps verify whether a change actually improves the target measurement.

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

optimization 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.

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.

Optimization

Use this skill when the task is about making a system faster, lighter, more scalable, or otherwise more efficient.

Core principle

To optimize properly, you must know:

  1. What metrics you are chasing
  2. What your real bottlenecks are

Do not optimize blindly.

1. Define the target metrics first

Before changing code, make sure you have the right measurements.

  • Identify the exact metrics that matter: latency, throughput, memory, CPU, startup time, compile time, query count, token usage, cost, etc.
  • Measure comprehensively, not just a convenient subset.
  • Make sure the metrics are accurate and representative of the real workload.
  • Prefer measurements that are fast to run so you can iterate quickly.
  • If possible, create repeatable benchmarks or scripts so improvements are verifiable.

2. Get full bottleneck attribution

You should have strong attribution for what each part of the system is doing.

  • Instrument the system so you can see where time and resources are going.
  • Prefer both:
    • Ad hoc inspection for quick debugging
    • Logged measurements for later analysis and comparison
  • Attribute work across the full path, not just the obviously slow component.
  • Make sure the data is detailed enough to explain where the cost comes from.

If you can analyze runs after the fact with logs or traces, that is often much more powerful than relying only on live inspection.

3. Use static analysis too

Not every optimization problem needs runtime profiling first. Often, code inspection reveals the issue.

Check for:

  • Wrong asymptotic complexity
  • The wrong algorithm or data structure
  • Unnecessary repeated work
  • Work happening in the wrong layer
  • Inefficient architecture or control flow
  • Directionally incorrect approaches

Make sure your asymptotics are right and the overall algorithm makes sense before tuning small details.

4. Macro-optimize before micro-optimizing

Prioritize the largest wins first.

  • Remove whole classes of work before making existing work slightly cheaper.
  • Fix architecture, batching, caching, query patterns, algorithm choice, parallelism, and data movement before focusing on tiny low-level tweaks.
  • If you are very far from the expected metrics, spend more time on macro-optimization.
