performance-optimization

performance-optimization is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Pixel-Process-UG/superkit-agents. It costs 62 tokens per session (2,602 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for finding and fixing slow parts of web applications and APIs. It uses measurements such as page-load metrics, load tests, and slow-query logs to identify bottlenecks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate slow pages, database timeouts, large web bundles, poor Web Vitals, or scaling problems.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork and helps confirm that a change actually improves speed before it is kept.

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 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.

Performance Optimization

Overview

Systematically identify and resolve performance bottlenecks using measurement-driven methodology. This skill enforces a strict MEASURE-IDENTIFY-OPTIMIZE-VERIFY cycle, preventing premature optimization and speculation. Every optimization must produce measurable improvement or be reverted.

Announce at start: "I'm using the performance-optimization skill to diagnose and resolve bottlenecks."


Phase 1: MEASURE (Establish Baseline)

Goal: Capture real metrics before changing anything.

Actions

# Web: Lighthouse CI
npx lighthouse https://your-app.com --output=json --output-path=baseline.json

# API: load test with k6
k6 run --out json=baseline.json loadtest.js

# Database: slow query log
# PostgreSQL: SET log_min_duration_statement = 100;  -- log queries > 100ms

Record these numbers. They are the baseline against which improvement is measured.

STOP — Do NOT proceed to Phase 2 until:

  • Baseline metrics are captured and saved
  • Specific metric targets are defined (e.g., LCP < 2.5s)
  • Measurement methodology is documented (so it can be repeated)

Phase 2: IDENTIFY (Find the Actual Bottleneck)

Goal: Use profiling tools to find WHERE time is spent. Do NOT guess.

Profiling Tool Selection Table

Layer Tool What It Shows
Frontend rendering React DevTools Profiler, Chrome Performance tab Component render times
Network Chrome Network tab, WebPageTest Request waterfall, TTFB
JavaScript Chrome Performance tab, console.time() Function execution time
Node.js server --prof flag, clinic.js, 0x CPU flame graphs
Database EXPLAIN ANALYZE, pg_stat_statements Query plans, slow queries
Memory Chrome Memory tab, heapdump Allocation patterns, leaks
Bundle size webpack-bundle-analyzer, vite-bundle-visualizer Module sizes

The bottleneck is almost never where you assume it is. Measure first.

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository Pixel-Process-UG/superkit-agents (3 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 62 tokens to every session and 2,602 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-03.
