description	Review code changes for performance anti-patterns — N+1 queries, unbounded results, blocking ops.

/performance-review

Spawns the performance-reviewer agent to detect performance anti-patterns in your code changes.

Steps

1. Gather context — detect the scope of changes to review:

   • If arguments are provided (file paths or PR number), use those as scope
   • Otherwise, use git diff to determine what changed
   • Identify files touching database queries, API endpoints, or data processing

2. Spawn the agent — use the Task tool:

   Task tool with subagent_type="performance-reviewer"
   

   Pass in the prompt:

   • The diff output and list of changed files
   • The project's database ORM and framework context
   • Any performance budgets or constraints from project rules

3. Present findings — relay the agent's performance report:

   • Group by severity: CRITICAL > WARNING
   • Include specific code locations and estimated impact
   • Show recommended fixes with before/after examples

4. Offer follow-up actions:

   • "Fix critical issues?" — apply recommended performance fixes
   • "Add benchmarks?" — create performance tests for flagged code paths
   • "Review again?" — re-run after changes
