What problem does it solve?
This Skill identifies and fixes performance defects that cause slow responses, poor responsiveness, low throughput, resource exhaustion, scalability failures, or unnecessary infrastructure costs.
Core Features & Use Cases
- End-to-End Performance Audits: Trace critical paths across clients, services, storage, queues, caches, third parties, and infrastructure.
- Broad Bottleneck Detection: Investigate N+1 queries, overfetching, repeated computation, blocking work, unbounded resource growth, contention, queue backlogs, retry amplification, and tail-latency failures.
- Evidence-Based Remediation: Validate findings with telemetry, profiles, query plans, representative benchmarks, complexity analysis, or static proof, then apply safe fixes and document residual risks.
- Use Case: Apply it to a slow API or background job to determine whether database access, network fan-out, concurrency, memory retention, or degraded-state behavior is violating the system’s performance expectations.
Quick Start
Ask the audit-perf skill to audit the specified path for performance defects, verify the highest-impact findings, apply safe fixes, and produce a completion ledger.
