Skill2 starsChanged 55 days agoMITView on GitHub
Runs token-efficient performance reviews for Cursor and Codex. Inventories N-plus-1 loops, SELECT star, unbounded reads, and sync I/O in request paths, then reports compact hot-path fixes. Use when the user asks for performance, slow queries, N+1, latency, or cheaper I/O. Do not dump profiles, flame graphs, or rewrite unrelated modules.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 37
Run hot. Queue await-in-loop, query-in-loop, SELECT *, no pagination.
- Very specific: line 43
Do not paste flame graphs or 10k-line profiles.
- Distinctive: line 44
No drive-by micro-optimizations of cold code.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 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.

Lean Perf
Hot-path hygiene. Scripts list likely N+1 and unbounded reads; you confirm a few loops.
Let SKILL_ROOT be the folder that contains this SKILL.md. Prefer python3; on Windows use py -3.
python3 "$SKILL_ROOT/scripts/lean_perf.py" hot .
python3 "$SKILL_ROOT/scripts/lean_perf.py" trim --chars 2500 path/to/out.txtMode
Default lean.
| Mode | Budget |
lean | hot + up to 8 slices; references/io.md; ≤6 findings |
standard | up to 16 slices; ≤10 findings |
deep | still no full profiler dump; ≤16 findings |
Workflow
- Run
hot. Queue await-in-loop, query-in-loop,SELECT *, no pagination. - Slice-read. Cap quotes at 12 lines.
- Report batching, indexes, pagination. Stop unless asked to patch.
Hard rules
- Do not paste flame graphs or 10k-line profiles.
trimif the user already has one. - No drive-by micro-optimizations of cold code.

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.
