axiom-performance-profiling

axiom-performance-profiling is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ComeOnOliver/skillshub. It costs 58 tokens per session (8,087 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to measuring why an iOS app is slow, uses too much memory, or drains the battery. It explains how to choose and interpret Xcode Instruments tools such as Time Profiler and Allocations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate slow screens, growing memory use, battery drain, and confusing profiling results before deciding what to optimise.
Why use it?
It replaces guesswork with measurements that show where time, memory, or energy is being used.

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-performance-profiling scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Performance Profiling

Overview

iOS app performance problems fall into distinct categories, each with a specific diagnosis tool. This skill helps you choose the right tool, use it effectively, and interpret results correctly under pressure.

Core principle: Measure before optimizing. Guessing about performance wastes more time than profiling.

Requires: Xcode 15+, iOS 14+ Related skills: axiom-swiftui-performance (SwiftUI-specific profiling with Instruments 26), axiom-memory-debugging (memory leak diagnosis)

When to Use Performance Profiling

Use this skill when
  • ✅ App feels slow (UI lags, loads take 5+ seconds)
  • ✅ Memory grows over time (Xcode shows increasing memory usage)
  • ✅ Battery drains fast (device gets hot, battery depletes in hours)
  • ✅ You want to profile proactively (before users complain)
  • ✅ You're unsure which Instruments tool to use
  • ✅ Profiling results are confusing or contradictory
Use axiom-memory-debugging instead when
  • Investigating specific memory leaks with retain cycles
  • Using Instruments Allocations in detail mode
Use axiom-swiftui-performance instead when
  • Analyzing SwiftUI view body updates
  • Using SwiftUI Instrument specifically

Performance Decision Tree

Before opening Instruments, narrow down what you're actually investigating.

Step 1: What's the Symptom?

App performance problem?
├─ App feels slow or lags (UI interactions stall, scrolling stutters)
│  └─ → Use Time Profiler (measure CPU usage)
├─ Memory grows over time (Xcode shows increasing memory)
│  └─ → Use Allocations (measure object creation)
├─ Data loading is slow (parsing, database queries, API calls)
│  └─ → Use Core Data instrument (if using Core Data)
│  └─ → Use Time Profiler (if it's computation)
└─ Battery drains fast (device gets hot, depletes in hours)
   └─ → Use Energy Impact (measure power consumption)

Step 2: Can You Reproduce It?

YES – Use Instruments to measure it (profiling is most accurate)

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-performance-profiling is a skill published in the GitHub repository ComeOnOliver/skillshub (63 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 8,087 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
