performance-diagnosis

performance-diagnosis is a skill for Claude Code from tushaarmehtaa/tushar-skills. It costs 48 tokens per session (634 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for finding the causes of a slow web application across its code, server, browser, database, and network. It starts by measuring a repeatable problem before changes are made.

In plain words
What is it for?
Investigating slow pages or actions, high CPU or memory use, slow builds and development servers, database delays, network problems, and changes in browser performance.
Why use it?
It helps separate the real source of slowness, high resource use, reload loops, regressions, or poor Web Vitals from symptoms and guesses.

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-diagnosis 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 11d 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 diagnosis

Measure a reproducible slow path before changing it. Diagnosis does not authorize a fix unless the user requested implementation.

Workflow

  1. Establish the symptom, affected environment, route/action, regression window, expected threshold, and a repeatable reproduction. Infer these from traces/issues/code when possible; ask only for missing facts that change the investigation.
  2. Detect framework/runtime/version, deploy topology, package manager, data stores, observability, and recent relevant diffs. Separate development-only behavior from production behavior.
  3. Attribute resource symptoms before profiling the application. For heat, fan, battery, or system-wide spikes, use a short, thermally safe reproduction and sample process CPU, memory, energy, and GPU where available. Isolate the browser tab from extensions, the Node/dev server, compiler watchers, database, and unrelated processes. Stop the reproduction if temperature, power draw, or system stability becomes unsafe.
  4. Capture a baseline with the tool suited to the symptom:
    • dev/build: timed cold and warm start/build, compiler logs, watcher scope;
    • server: route spans, CPU/memory profile, cold start, event-loop delay, query timing;
    • browser: tab/task-manager isolation, performance trace, network waterfall, long tasks, hydration, animation/compositor/GPU load, polling/timers, and Core Web Vitals;
    • bundle: framework-supported analyzer and route-level client/server composition;
    • database/network: query plans, connection waits, downstream latency and payload size.
  5. Form ranked hypotheses and test the cheapest discriminating one first. A large log, expensive-looking call, or large package is evidence to investigate, not proof of root cause.
  6. For Next.js, detect the major version and caching model before recommending React.cache, use cache, fetch caching, or Turbopack settings. React.cache deduplicates within a request; it is not a cross-request cache. Configure turbopack.root only when the project truly resolves linked files outside the detected root.
  7. If implementation is authorized, make one narrow change at a time. Protect user/tenant isolation, freshness, invalidation, memory bounds, and failure behavior when caching. Preserve a before/after artifact and revert changes that do not improve the target metric.

performance-diagnosis is a skill published in the GitHub repository tushaarmehtaa/tushar-skills (11 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 634 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 2026-08-30.
