Diagnosing and resolving performance bottlenecks and latency issues
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
6 rules. About 0 are common, 6 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈6
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 11
When the application is responding slower than SLAs allow.
- Distinctive: line 12
When CPU usage is unexpectedly high.
- Distinctive: line 13
When identifying database query bottlenecks (N+1 queries, missing indexes).
- Distinctive: line 16
Measure First: Do not guess. Use profilers, APMs (Datadog, New Relic), and logging to find the bottleneck.
- Distinctive: line 18
Algorithmic Complexity: Check for accidental O(n^2) or worse loops.
- Distinctive: line 19
Caching: Consider if a caching layer (Redis, Memcached) can bypass the heavy computation.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 308,232 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Performance Debugging Skill
This skill focuses on identifying, analyzing, and resolving performance-related issues such as slow response times, CPU spikes, and UI lag.
When to use this skill
- When the application is responding slower than SLAs allow.
- When CPU usage is unexpectedly high.
- When identifying database query bottlenecks (N+1 queries, missing indexes).
Guidelines
- Measure First: Do not guess. Use profilers, APMs (Datadog, New Relic), and logging to find the bottleneck.
- Isolate the Scope: Determine if the issue is in the frontend, network, backend, or database layer.
- Algorithmic Complexity: Check for accidental O(n^2) or worse loops.
- Caching: Consider if a caching layer (Redis, Memcached) can bypass the heavy computation.

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
