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

application-performance-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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 163 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Optimize application performance end-to-end using specialized performance and optimization agents:

[Extended thinking: This workflow orchestrates a comprehensive performance optimization process across the entire application stack. Starting with deep profiling and baseline establishment, the workflow progresses through targeted optimizations in each system layer, validates improvements through load testing, and establishes continuous monitoring for sustained performance. Each phase builds on insights from previous phases, creating a data-driven optimization strategy that addresses real bottlenecks rather than theoretical improvements. The workflow emphasizes modern observability practices, user-centric performance metrics, and cost-effective optimization strategies.]

Use this skill when

  • Coordinating performance optimization across backend, frontend, and infrastructure
  • Establishing baselines and profiling to identify bottlenecks
  • Designing load tests, performance budgets, or capacity plans
  • Building observability for performance and reliability targets

Do not use this skill when

  • The task is a small localized fix with no broader performance goals
  • There is no access to metrics, tracing, or profiling data
  • The request is unrelated to performance or scalability

Instructions

  1. Confirm performance goals, constraints, and target metrics.
  2. Establish baselines with profiling, tracing, and real-user data.
  3. Execute phased optimizations across the stack with measurable impact.
  4. Validate improvements and set guardrails to prevent regressions.

Safety

  • Avoid load testing production without approvals and safeguards.
  • Roll out performance changes gradually with rollback plans.

Phase 1: Performance Profiling & Baseline

1. Comprehensive Performance Profiling

  • Use Task tool with subagent_type="performance-engineer"
  • Prompt: "Profile application performance comprehensively for: $ARGUMENTS. Generate flame graphs for CPU usage, heap dumps for memory analysis, trace I/O operations, and identify hot paths. Use APM tools like DataDog or New Relic if available. Include database query profiling, API response times, and frontend rendering metrics. Establish performance baselines for all critical user journeys."
  • Context: Initial performance investigation
  • Output: Detailed performance profile with flame graphs, memory analysis, bottleneck identification, baseline metrics

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.
