axiom-ios-performance

axiom-ios-performance is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ComeOnOliver/skillshub. It costs 38 tokens per session (3,039 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for diagnosing and improving iOS app performance, including speed, memory use, battery consumption, and heat.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with Instruments to profile CPU and memory, investigate leaks, examine Core Data queries, and choose a suitable performance diagnostic workflow.
Why use it?
It provides ways to identify leaks, retain cycles, slow code, excessive energy use, and memory-related crashes.

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

axiom-ios-performance 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.

iOS Performance Router

You MUST use this skill for ANY performance issue including memory leaks, slow execution, battery drain, or profiling.

When to Use

Use this router when:

  • App feels slow or laggy
  • Memory usage grows over time
  • Battery drains quickly
  • Device gets hot during use
  • High energy usage in Battery Settings
  • Diagnosing performance with Instruments
  • Memory leaks or retain cycles
  • App crashes with memory warnings

Routing Logic

Memory Issues

Memory leaks (Swift)/skill axiom-memory-debugging

  • Systematic leak diagnosis
  • 5 common leak patterns
  • Instruments workflows
  • deinit not called

Memory leak scan → Launch memory-auditor agent or /axiom:audit memory (6 common patterns: timers, observers, closures, delegates, view callbacks, PhotoKit)

Memory leaks (Objective-C blocks)/skill axiom-objc-block-retain-cycles

  • Block retain cycles
  • Weak-strong pattern
  • Network callback leaks

Performance Profiling

Performance profiling (GUI)/skill axiom-performance-profiling

  • Time Profiler (CPU)
  • Allocations (memory growth)
  • Core Data profiling (N+1 queries)
  • Decision trees for tool selection

Automated profiling (CLI)/skill axiom-xctrace-ref

  • Headless xctrace profiling
  • CI/CD integration patterns
  • Command-line trace recording
  • Programmatic trace analysis

Run automated profile → Use performance-profiler agent or /axiom:profile

  • Records trace via xctrace
  • Exports and analyzes data
  • Reports findings with severity

Hang/Freeze Issues

App hangs or freezes/skill axiom-hang-diagnostics

  • UI unresponsive for >1 second
  • Main thread blocked (busy or waiting)
  • Decision tree: busy vs blocked diagnosis
  • Time Profiler vs System Trace selection
  • 8 common hang patterns with fixes
  • Watchdog terminations

Energy Issues

Battery drain, high energy/skill axiom-energy

  • Power Profiler workflow
  • Subsystem diagnosis (CPU/GPU/Network/Location/Display)
  • Anti-pattern fixes
  • Background execution optimization

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.

axiom-ios-performance is a skill published in the GitHub repository ComeOnOliver/skillshub (63 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 3,039 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
