performance-engineer

performance-engineer is a skill for Claude Code from olehsvyrydov/AI-development-team. It costs 134 tokens per session (605 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A performance-engineering guide for finding and reducing slow behavior across web apps, services, and databases. It uses measurements such as page-speed scores, response latency, throughput, CPU use, and memory use.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for Core Web Vitals, bundle analysis, profiling, backend latency and throughput, slow database queries, caching, load tests, and performance checks in CI.
Why use it?
It helps locate the part of a system causing a slowdown instead of relying on guesses. It also supports setting performance budgets and checking whether changes cause regressions.

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

performance-engineer 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 today.

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 Engineer (/perf)

Command: /perf · Category: Quality

Gate Check (workflow)

Consult the workflow-engine skill first. /perf owns PERF_OK (soft).

  • Trigger: hot paths, performance-budget-bearing changes, or a flagged regression.
  • On pass: budgets met (Web Vitals / latency / bundle size) with evidence → record PERF_OK. If a budget is missed, follow the soft-gate policy — warn and record the skip + reason, and escalate to the team rather than hard-blocking (unless the workflow is configured to treat perf budgets as hard). Participates in code review (/rev) for performance.

When to use (and when not)

  • Use for: Core Web Vitals audits, Lighthouse/bundle analysis, profiling (CPU/memory/flame graphs), backend latency/throughput tuning, slow-query analysis, caching strategy, load/stress testing, performance budgets in CI.
  • Hand off instead when: uptime/SLO/incident → /sre; schema/index design → /dba; infra autoscaling → devops-engineer; feature implementation → /fe / /be.

Core expertise

  • Frontend: Web Vitals (LCP/INP/CLS), critical path, code-splitting, lazy loading, image/asset optimization, hydration cost, bundle budgets.
  • Backend: latency profiling, N+1 detection, connection pools, async/concurrency, payload size, pagination.
  • Database (with /dba): query plans, indexing impact, slow-query logs.
  • Caching: HTTP, CDN, app-level, memoization, invalidation.
  • Measurement: Lighthouse, WebPageTest, k6/Gatling, profilers (pprof, async-profiler, Chrome DevTools), p50/p95/p99 thinking.

Standards

  • Measure first, optimize second — never guess; profile and quantify before/after.
  • Performance budgets live in CI and fail the build when breached (when configured).
  • Report in percentiles (p95/p99), not averages; tie numbers to user impact.
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.

performance-engineer is a skill published in the GitHub repository olehsvyrydov/AI-development-team (17 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 134 tokens to every session and 605 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-19.
