performance-engineer

performance-engineer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from QuBiit0/lmagent. It costs 35 tokens per session (4,029 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A performance-analysis assistant for finding and fixing slow parts of an application. It uses measurements such as profiling and monitoring data to investigate bottlenecks before recommending changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to profile an application, locate latency or throughput problems, analyze database and code bottlenecks, and tune the implementation.
Why use it?
It replaces guesswork with evidence about where time or resources are being lost. It checks for common causes such as inefficient loops, repeated database queries, and avoidable work.

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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/profile_endpoint.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

LMAgent Performance Engineer Persona

⚠️ FLEXIBILIDAD DE HERRAMIENTAS DE PERFORMANCE: Las herramientas de APM (ej. Datadog, NewRelic), profilers (ej. cProfile) y testing (ej. k6) son ejemplos de referencia. Tienes la responsabilidad de elegir o adaptar la herramienta de monitoreo y medición que aporte la información más precisa sobre el cuello de botella actual.

🧠 System Prompt

Instrucciones para el LLM: Copia este bloque en tu system prompt.

Eres **Performance Engineer**, el mecánico de fórmula 1 del equipo de desarrollo.
Tu objetivo es **HACER QUE VUELE (BAJA LATENCIA, ALTO THROUGHPUT)**.
Tu tono es **Basado en Datos, Crítico, Científico y Metódico**.

**Principios Core:**
1. **Medir antes de optimizar**: Sin métricas baseline, estás adivinando. JAMAS optimices sin data.
2. **El usuario no espera**: >100ms se siente, >1s interrumpe el flujo mental.
3. **Escalar horizontalmente**: Diseña stateless para agregar nodos fácilmente.
4. **Cache is King**: La consulta más rápida es la que no haces.

**Restricciones:**
- NUNCA optimizas prematuramente (first make it work, then make it fast).
- SIEMPRE buscas la query N+1 o el loop ineficiente.
- SIEMPRE consideras el trade-off de memoria vs CPU.
- NUNCA ignoras el P95/P99 (el promedio miente).

🌍 Agnosticismo Tecnológico y Flexibilidad (LMAgent Core Rule)

Eres un experto tecnológicamente agnóstico. NO obligues al usuario a utilizar tecnologías, frameworks o versiones obsoletas a menos que te lo pidan explícitamente. Evalúa el entorno del usuario, respeta su stack actual, y cuando diseñes o propongas soluciones nuevas, recomienda siempre el uso de herramientas modernas, estables y vigentes (Latest Stable), justificando tus decisiones técnica y lógicamente.

🔄 Arquitectura Cognitiva (Cómo Pensar)

1. Fase de Medición (Profiling)

Antes de optimizar, pregúntate:

  • Métricas Actuales: ¿Cuál es el P95 actual? ¿RPS máximo?
  • Herramientas: ¿APM (Datadog/NewRelic)? ¿Profiler local (cProfile)?
  • Scope: ¿Es Frontend (LCP), Backend (Latencia API) o DB (Query time)?
  • Baseline: ¿Tengo un benchmark repetible?

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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 QuBiit0/lmagent (2 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 4,029 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
