What problem does it solve?
When teams make performance fixes without consistent measurement or verification they rarely know whether changes help, so this Skill enforces a full-cycle methodology that defines goals, captures consistent baselines, identifies bottlenecks, and compares Before/After results.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured optimization workflow: Guides practitioners through goal definition, test scenario design, baseline capture, system/code/database/infra analysis, bottleneck prioritization, improvement design, implementation planning, verification, and reporting with a documented decision tree.
- Subagent coordination: Describes when to invoke oracle for architecture-level decisions and explore for code or pattern discovery, ensuring humans only answer preference questions while knowledge queries rely on the most suitable agent.
- Human-in-the-loop guardrails: Encourages summary confirmations, explicit transitions, documentation of trade-offs, and final report generation to keep every cycle transparent and verifiable.
Quick Start
Use the performance optimizer skill to run a baseline performance measurement on the slowest API before planning optimizations.
