bp-performance-optimization

A reference guide for finding and fixing slow or resource-heavy code, covering processor use, memory, file and network access, and concurrent work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when setting performance goals, investigating profiling results, reviewing code, or improving latency, throughput, memory use, or energy consumption.
Why use it?
It helps developers choose what to measure and improve before changing code, reducing guesswork and avoiding optimizations that do not address the real bottleneck.

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

bp-performance-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 2d 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.

性能优化技术

前置检查

本 skill 是参考资料,不是工作流入口。

在应用本 skill 的优化规则前,必须确认:

  1. 优化目标是否明确?

    • 具体要优化什么?延迟?吞吐?内存?
    • 当前数据是多少?目标是多少?
    • 如何测量和验证?
  2. 是否已经定位瓶颈?

    • 有 profiling 数据吗?
    • 热点在哪里?

如果以上问题不清楚

  • 涉及代码修改 → 先走 workflow-code-generation Skill(它会引导需求澄清)
  • 仅做分析 → 先与用户确认优化目标和当前数据

核心理念

优化的本质是简化。 复杂的代码通常更大、更慢、更耗能。

方法论

阶段 要点
1. 定义目标 明确成功标准:延迟?吞吐?内存?功耗?
2. 设计评估 糟糕的设计无法靠优化弥补
3. Profile 关注消耗指标(指令数、cache miss),不只是时间
4. 算法优先 先优化数据结构和算法
5. 应用规则 对热点应用具体优化规则

设计原则

原则 说明
简单直接 避免过度抽象;能删代码比加代码好
连续优于分散 vector/数组优于链表(cache 友好)
直接优于间接 减少指针追逐,每次间接访问都是潜在 cache miss
独占优于共享 unique_ptr 无开销;shared_ptr 有原子操作开销
扁平优于深层 避免复杂继承层次和虚函数派发
Early Binding 把工作提前做一次,避免重复做多次
模块化 清晰契约,允许局部替换而不改架构

优化规则速查

Space-for-Time(空间换时间)

规则 说明
Data Structure Augmentation 添加冗余信息加速操作
Precomputation 预计算并存储结果
Caching 缓存频繁访问的数据
Lazy Evaluation 延迟计算直到真正需要

详见 reference/space-for-time.md

Time-for-Space(时间换空间)

规则 说明
Packing 紧凑存储减少内存占用
Overlaying 复用内存空间
Interpreters 用解释器压缩程序表示

详见 reference/time-for-space.md

Loop Rules(循环优化)

规则 说明
Code Motion 将循环不变量移出循环
Combining Tests 合并测试条件,使用哨兵
Loop Unrolling 展开循环减少迭代开销
Loop Fusion 合并相同范围的循环

详见 reference/loop-rules.md

Logic Rules(逻辑优化)

规则 说明
Algebraic Identities 用等价的更廉价表达式替换
Short-Circuiting 提前终止求值
Reordering Tests 廉价/常成功的测试放前面
Precompute Logical Functions 查表替代逻辑计算

详见 reference/logic-rules.md

Procedure Rules(过程优化)

规则 说明
Inlining 内联展开减少调用开销
Exploit Common Cases 快速路径处理常见情况
Tail Recursion Removal 尾递归转循环
Parallelism 利用硬件并行能力

What ships with it

8 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.

bp-performance-optimization is a skill published in the GitHub repository davidYichengWei/agentic-engineering-framework (159 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 1,454 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
