optimize-performance

SkillDev tools

Measure bottlenecks with repository tools, then recommend or apply evidenced optimizations. Use when the user types /optimize-performance.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the optimize-performance skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by blockmatic/basilic in .agents/skills/workflow/optimize-performance/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Purpose and inputs

Find performance issues with a measured baseline. Quality budgets live in /f-quality. Do not invent SLOs or impact percentages. Report-only unless the user asked to implement.

Steps

  1. Read Quality overlay budgets if present. Capture a baseline with the repo profiler, traces, tests, or gh job timing — not estimates.
  2. Locate the owning hot path (query, render, allocation) with that evidence.
  3. Recommend the smallest change. Implement only when authorized. Re-measure after a change.
  4. If a new budget is required, defer to /f-quality.

Verification

  • Recommendations cite a baseline measurement or an explicit "not measured" label.
  • No fabricated timings or percentages.
  • No unsolicited commit.

Handoff

Report baseline, suspected cause, and proposed change. Say when measurement is still missing.
