Use for startup slowness, jank, memory growth, oversized work, bridge overhead, expensive recomposition or rendering, and other runtime performance problems across Swift, Android, Flutter, Tauri, Rust, and frontend code.
Installation
Install with Codex or Claude Copy this prompt, paste it into Codex, Claude, or another assistant, and let it review the skill page and install it for you.

Performance Analyzer
Use when
the user reports slowness, jank, excessive memory use, or costly repeated work
the task is performance improvement rather than feature delivery
a review needs to focus on runtime or rendering efficiency
Do not use when
the performance concern is speculative and there is no meaningful symptom
the task is mostly architecture or feature work with no performance requirement
Working rules
Prioritize user-perceived responsiveness before micro-optimization.
Remove repeated or unnecessary work before tuning constants.
Prefer evidence from measurements, tooling, traces, or strong repo-local reasoning.
Avoid caches, memoization, or complexity that outlives the actual bottleneck.
Re-check correctness and UX after optimization work.
Workflow
Define the symptom precisely: startup, navigation, interaction latency, render jank, memory growth, bridge overhead, or bundle size.
Identify where time, allocations, or invalidation are likely being spent.
Measure when tooling is available; otherwise state the strongest evidence and uncertainty.
Choose the highest-impact, lowest-risk changes first.
Apply the smallest fixes that reduce real work.
Re-validate behavior, correctness, and release risk.
Quality bar
Focus on work that users can feel or that meaningfully affects release quality.
Call out likely issues separately from confirmed issues.
Do not trade maintainability for tiny wins unless the impact is real.
Reference routing
Read references/performance-checklist.md for optimization and triage prompts.
Read references/release-quality-gates.md when performance threatens release quality.
Read references/official-docs.md only for platform-specific performance semantics.
