extremely-optimize

extremely-optimize is a skill for Codex from OutlineDriven/outline-driven-development. It costs 54 tokens per session (1,705 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A performance-improvement campaign that measures a workload, rebuilds slow code paths, and keeps only changes that prove faster.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for optimizing a named subsystem or repository workload, checking hot and cold paths, and landing verified performance improvements in version control.
Why use it?
It replaces guesswork with measurements and a verification step. Improvements that do not win are left out, while successful changes are recorded as separate reversible commits.

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

extremely-optimize 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 5d 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.

Extremely optimize

Contract

Field Bound contract
Trigger Subsystem or repo-wide performance campaign against a measured floor; the user says "make this as fast as possible", "extremely optimize", or "grill every inefficiency"
Authority VCS-reversible destructive — changes restricted to VCS-tracked source targets, the exact set shown before mutation, version control used as recovery
Side effect Hot-path source targets rewritten as atomic commits; non-wins reverted; boundary surfaces gated before any touch
Done Hot units rebuilt with an even win, cold units graded fixed/at-floor/left, residue gone, verifier green, target landed atomically

Inputs

  • A named subsystem path, or no path for a repo-wide survey. Repo-wide work is opt-in and never inferred. A bare invocation profiles the repo's own workload, then works the ranked list.
  • One runnable workload command exercising the target with representative input and taking at least one second of wall clock. Must be supplied or constructed before measurement begins.
  • The repo's own verifier command. Must be supplied or discovered before any target lands.

Procedure

  1. Pin the workload and baseline. Run hyperfine --warmup 3 --min-runs 10 '<cmd>'. Record median, stddev, min, max. Reject the measurement while stddev exceeds 20 % of median — pin CPU frequency, isolate the process, widen --min-runs, or enlarge the input until the noise clears. Use this number for every later comparison. Done when: a stable baseline median is recorded with stddev under 20 % of median.

  2. Split hot from cold. Profile the workload. A unit is hot when it holds ≥ 5 % of total measured time or its call count scales with input size; everything else is cold. Write both lists down. Where a sampling profiler disagrees with a call-count argument, believe the call count and confirm by instrumentation. Done when: both hot and cold lists are written down.

  3. State the contract, compute the floor. Work the hot list in descending order of time share. For each unit, write what it owes its callers based on call sites, tests, and the signature — never its own internals. Compute the floor from that contract alone: bytes that must move at achievable bandwidth, the algorithmic lower bound at a measured per-operation cost, and syscalls or round-trips the protocol cannot avoid. Show the arithmetic with eval, never in prose. Divide measured cost by floor; that multiple is the unit's headroom. A unit already within 2× of its floor is finished — record it and move on. Done when: every hot unit has its contract stated, floor computed, and headroom multiple recorded; units within 2× of floor are marked finished.

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.

extremely-optimize is a skill published in the GitHub repository OutlineDriven/outline-driven-development (52 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 1,705 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.
