performance-optimization-dotnet

performance-optimization-dotnet is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from peterblazejewicz/claude-plugins. It costs 105 tokens per session (7,070 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A performance workflow for .NET and C# applications that measures real behavior before changing code. It uses tools such as BenchmarkDotNet, dotnet-counters, dotnet-trace, and PerfView to find specific slowdowns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate slow requests, high memory use, excessive allocations, database query problems, thread-pool delays, or performance regressions.
Why use it?
It replaces guesswork with measurements, helping avoid complex changes that do not improve the actual 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

performance-optimization-dotnet 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 4d 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.

Performance Optimization — .NET

Overview

Measure before optimizing. Performance work without measurement is guessing — and guessing leads to premature optimization that adds complexity without improving what matters. Profile first, identify the actual bottleneck, fix it, measure again. Optimize only what measurements prove matters.

.NET gives you two advantages no amount of guessing replaces:

  • BenchmarkDotNet for deterministic micro-benchmarks (with statistical analysis built in — if you see a delta smaller than the tool's noise floor, it isn't a real change)
  • dotnet-counters / dotnet-trace / PerfView for live process observation without redeploying

Use them. The rest of this skill assumes you will.

When to Use

  • Performance requirements exist in the spec (latency SLAs, throughput targets, memory budgets)
  • Users or monitoring (Application Insights, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry) report slow behavior
  • p95 latency, Gen2 GC rate, thread-pool queue length, or allocated-bytes-per-request regresses
  • You suspect a recent change introduced a regression
  • Building features that handle large datasets or high traffic

When NOT to use: don't optimize before you have evidence of a problem. Premature optimization adds complexity that costs more than the performance it gains. Readable code beats 3% faster code.

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-optimization-dotnet is a skill published in the GitHub repository peterblazejewicz/claude-plugins (7 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 105 tokens to every session and 7,070 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-31.
