swiftui-performance-audit

swiftui-performance-audit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gaelic-ghost/socket. It costs 61 tokens per session (760 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A code review workflow for finding likely SwiftUI performance problems, such as slow rendering, excessive updates, layout work, image pressure, or memory growth.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit a slow or janky SwiftUI screen, inspect its data flow, and prepare focused runtime performance checks.
Why use it?
It separates suspicions visible in code from evidence that must be confirmed with Instruments, Apple's performance-analysis tool.

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

swiftui-performance-audit 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 yesterday.

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.

SwiftUI Performance Audit

Purpose

Make performance work evidence-led: inspect the smallest relevant SwiftUI data-flow and view slice first, name code-level suspicion separately from runtime proof, then hand trace capture to the existing Xcode or SwiftPM testing workflow.

When To Use

  • Use for slow rendering, dropped frames, broad view updates, unstable list identity, expensive body work, layout churn, image pressure, broad animation, high CPU, or memory growth in SwiftUI.
  • Do not use this skill as a generic style review, a replacement for Instruments, or a reason to introduce caches, view models, stores, or coordinators.

Single-Path Workflow

  1. Apply the Apple docs gate through explore-apple-swift-docs. Confirm current Observation and SwiftUI behavior before proposing a performance change.
  2. Collect the target view, reproduction steps, data flow, device/simulator, build configuration, and the observed symptom.
  3. Classify the symptom as invalidation, identity churn, body computation, layout, image, animation, CPU, or retained-memory pressure.
  4. Read references/code-smells-and-remediation.md and identify only code-backed suspicions. Mark each finding as suspected until a capture proves it.
  5. Prefer narrow ownership, stable identity, precomputation outside body, downsampled images, localized state, and reduced layout complexity. Do not use equatable() or @State as an unmeasured cache.
  6. When code inspection is insufficient, hand trace capture to xcode-testing-workflow for scheme/destination work or swift-package-testing-workflow for package-first workloads.
  7. Compare the same reproduction before and after the change. Report CPU, frame behavior, allocations, and view-update evidence only when captured.

Inputs

  • target view/feature, smallest reproduction, and symptom
  • state/observation/data-flow slice and relevant identities
  • platform, device or simulator, build configuration, and any existing trace

Outputs

  • findings labeled as code-level suspicion or trace-backed evidence
  • smallest remediation proposal with ownership and behavior preserved
  • profiling handoff or before/after validation result

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.

swiftui-performance-audit is a skill published in the GitHub repository gaelic-ghost/socket (7 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 760 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 2026-09-03.
