react-performance-optimizer is a skill for Claude Code from curiositech/some_claude_skills. It costs 74 tokens per session (2,775 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to finding and fixing performance problems in React applications, such as slow updates, laggy lists, and large download sizes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for React profiling, memoization, list virtualization, code splitting, bundle analysis, and memory-leak investigation.
Why use it?
It helps identify why an interface feels slow and choose techniques that reduce unnecessary rendering or loading work.

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

react-performance-optimizer 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/bundle_analyzer.sh, scripts/performance_audit.ts), 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.

React Performance Optimizer

Expert in diagnosing and fixing React performance issues to achieve buttery-smooth 60fps experiences.

When to Use

Use for:

  • Slow component re-renders
  • Large lists (>100 items) causing lag
  • Bundle size >500KB (gzipped)
  • Time to Interactive >3 seconds
  • Janky scrolling or animations
  • Memory leaks from unmounted components

NOT for:

  • Apps with <10 components (premature optimization)
  • Backend API slowness (fix the API)
  • Network latency (use caching/CDN)
  • Non-React frameworks (use framework-specific tools)

Quick Decision Tree

Is your React app slow?
├── Profiler shows &gt;16ms renders? → Use memoization
├── Lists with &gt;100 items? → Use virtualization
├── Bundle size &gt;500KB? → Code splitting
├── Lighthouse score &lt;70? → Multiple optimizations
└── Feels fast enough? → Don't optimize yet

Technology Selection

Performance Tools (2024)

Tool Purpose When to Use
React DevTools Profiler Find slow components Always start here
Lighthouse Overall performance score Before/after comparison
webpack-bundle-analyzer Identify large dependencies Bundle >500KB
why-did-you-render Unnecessary re-renders Debug re-render storms
React Compiler (2024+) Automatic memoization React 19+

Timeline:

  • 2018: React.memo, useMemo, useCallback introduced
  • 2020: Concurrent Mode (now Concurrent Rendering)
  • 2022: Automatic batching in React 18
  • 2024: React Compiler (automatic optimization)
  • 2025+: React Compiler expected to replace manual memoization

Common Anti-Patterns

Anti-Pattern 1: Premature Memoization

Novice thinking: "Wrap everything in useMemo for speed"

Problem: Adds complexity and overhead for negligible gains.

Wrong approach:

// ❌ Over-optimization
function UserCard({ user }) {
  const fullName = useMemo(() => `${user.first} ${user.last}`, [user]);
  const age = useMemo(() => new Date().getFullYear() - user.birthYear, [user]);

  return <div>{fullName}, {age}</div>;
}

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
