What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Measure, identify bottlenecks, fix, verify, and guard performance regressions. Use for web vitals, slow APIs, heavy notebooks/pipelines, or video/render workloads. Triggers: "performance", "optimize", "slow", "latency", "bundle size", "profiling".

Performance optimization
Workflow
MEASURE -> IDENTIFY -> FIX -> VERIFY -> GUARD
Never optimize without a baseline.
Measure first
| Domain | Signals |
|---|---|
| Web | LCP, INP, CLS, bundle size, waterfall |
| API/DB | p50/p95 latency, query plans, N+1 |
| Data/ML | wall time, memory peak, I/O wait |
| Media | frame time, encode throughput |
Identify
- Profile before guessing (browser Performance, py-spy, query EXPLAIN)
- One bottleneck at a time; document hypothesis
Fix patterns (common)
| Issue | Direction |
|---|---|
| Large JS bundle | Code split, lazy routes, tree-shake |
| Render churn | Memoization only when measured; virtualize lists |
| Slow queries | Indexes, fewer round trips, pagination |
| Pandas hot path | Vectorize, polars, smaller dtypes |
Verify
- Compare before/after with same workload
- Check regressions on adjacent metrics (memory, error rate)
Guard
- Budget thresholds in CI or release checklist
