lfe-perf-check

lfe-perf-check is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from StChiotis/Library-First-Engineering. It costs 72 tokens per session (1,058 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only review of code changes for common performance problems, such as leaked resources, repeated database queries, unbounded growth, or inefficient algorithms.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as part of the Inspector review after a code slice is built; its findings are saved for inclusion in the overall critique.
Why use it?
It provides an early check for likely slowdowns or resource waste without requiring a profiler or benchmark setup.

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

lfe-perf-check 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 6d 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.

LFE Performance Check — Prompt-Based Anti-Pattern Analysis

Position in Pipeline

  • Phase: 3 (Inspector sub-skill)
  • Persona: Inspector (read-only; no src/ writes)
  • Trigger: Invoked by /lfe-inspector Sub-Skill Dispatch when lfe-perf-check: true in .docs/quality/inspector-config.md
  • Output: .plans/checks/perf_findings.md — aggregated by Inspector into critique.md

Mission

Detect performance anti-patterns introduced by the current implementation through structured LLM reasoning over the diff. Findings are advisory unless a pattern is provably unbounded (e.g. O(n²) in a hot path with no upper bound on n).

Hard Rules

  1. Dispatch Context Required (refuse direct invocation): This skill is dispatched by /lfe-inspector Step 6 — it is not a Brain-typeable skill (per LLM_AGENT_GUIDE.md §8.8 Skill Invocation Authority). If invoked without .plans/builder_done.md for the current slice, halt immediately and reply: "/lfe-perf-check is an Inspector sub-skill dispatched by /lfe-inspector. It cannot be run standalone. Run /lfe-inspector — the dispatcher will invoke this sub-skill if it is enabled in .docs/quality/inspector-config.md (or via an ## Inspector Overrides section in active_plan.md)." Direct invocation produces orphaned findings files and breaks the Inspector's aggregation logic.
  2. Prompt-Only: No profiling tools, no benchmarks, no execution. Reasoning over code only.
  3. Diff-Scoped: Analyse only files listed in builder_done.md; skip unchanged code.
  4. Severity: Critical (provably unbounded, certain production impact) / High (likely hot-path) / Medium (probable overhead) / Low (style concern).
  5. Cite Line: Every finding quotes the specific pattern from the code.

Inputs

  1. .plans/builder_done.md — list of changed files
  2. .plans/active_plan.md — domain context and scope boundary
  3. .docs/domain/ — domain rules that might imply expected data volumes

Workflow

Step 1: Extract Diff Scope

From builder_done.md, identify and read modified files.

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.

lfe-perf-check is a skill published in the GitHub repository StChiotis/Library-First-Engineering (43 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 1,058 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-30.
