perf is a skill for Claude Code from fullymiddleaged/Clawness. It costs 37 tokens per session (242 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A performance-audit skill that examines a project or selected module for code that may run slowly or use too many resources.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review database queries, API routes, React components, or data-processing code and receive ranked findings with suggested fixes.
Why use it?
It helps locate common causes of slow software, such as repeated database queries, unnecessary screen updates, memory leaks, large bundles, and inefficient algorithms.

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

perf 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Performance Audit

Analyze code for performance issues using the Clawness perf-auditor agent.

Before spawning the agent: if you surfaced this proactively (the user mentioned performance/slowness but didn't explicitly ask to run it), first ask: "Want me to run the performance audit now?" Proceed only once they confirm. If the user explicitly invoked /clawness:perf or already said yes, skip the question.

Steps

  1. Scope — If $ARGUMENTS specifies a path, audit that. Otherwise, focus on the most performance-sensitive areas: database queries, API routes, React components, and data processing functions.

  2. Delegate to perf-auditor — Send the relevant code to the perf-auditor sub-agent for analysis.

  3. Report — Present findings ranked by impact with specific fix suggestions and expected improvement.

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.
