| description | Specify skill for performance optimization analysis — defines analysis categories, skills to load, agents to launch, and severity classification |
Spec Filename Prefix
optimize-
Skills to Load
- code-follower: Match existing codebase conventions
- code-simplifier: Complexity reduction strategies (optional)
Agents to Launch
- optimizer: Profile bottlenecks and identify optimization opportunities
- reviewer: Verify optimization suggestions are correct and won't break behavior
Analysis Categories
- Algorithmic complexity: O(n^2) or worse in hot paths
- Redundant computation: Unnecessary re-renders, re-computations, or redundant work
- I/O efficiency: Expensive I/O operations that could be batched, cached, or parallelized
- Memory: Memory leaks, large allocations, or missing cleanup
- Bundle size: Frontend bundle size impact (if applicable)
Presentation Format
For each bottleneck:
- File path and line number
- Performance issue description
- Estimated impact (latency reduction, memory savings, throughput gain)
- Effort level
- Concrete suggestion showing what optimized code would look like
Group by category (algorithmic, I/O, rendering, memory, bundle size), rank by impact within each.
Severity Classification
Rank by expected impact:
- High: Measurable latency/memory improvement in hot paths
- Medium: Improvement in less-critical paths
- Low: Micro-optimizations with minimal real-world impact
Scope Overrides
None — uses default scope detection.
