Performance Profiling
Overview
Use this skill to identify true runtime hotspots and prioritize optimizations by measurable impact.
Scope Boundaries
- Use this skill when the task matches the trigger condition described in
description. - Do not use this skill when the primary task falls outside this skill's domain.
Shared References
- Profiling evidence rules:
references/profiling-evidence-rules.md
Templates And Assets
- Profiling report template:
assets/profiling-report-template.md
- Optimization priority matrix:
assets/optimization-priority-matrix-template.csv
Inputs To Gather
- Performance symptom and target path.
- Reproducible profiling environment.
- Relevant profiling tools and sampling strategy.
- Acceptable optimization risk constraints.
Deliverables
- Profiling report with hotspot evidence.
- Prioritized optimization backlog.
- Before/after impact validation plan.
Workflow
- Capture profiling scope in
assets/profiling-report-template.md. - Gather baseline profiler evidence.
- Prioritize opportunities with
assets/optimization-priority-matrix-template.csv. - Apply
references/profiling-evidence-rules.mdfor decision quality. - Publish optimization plan and verification gates.
Quality Standard
- Hotspots are tied to specific code paths and user impact.
- Priority reflects impact, effort, and risk.
- Optimization decisions are evidence-backed.
Failure Conditions
- Stop when hotspots cannot be attributed to concrete paths.
- Stop when expected gains are speculative without evidence.
- Escalate when high-impact bottlenecks remain unresolved.

graph-algorithms
Graph algorithm workflow for modeling entities/relations and selecting traversal, path, ordering, or flow strategies. Use when correctness or performance depends on graph representation and algorithm choice; do not use for schema-only modeling or deployment topology planning.
14bash-style-guide
Style, review, and refactoring standards for Bash shell scripting. Trigger when `.sh` files, files with `#!/usr/bin/env bash` or `#!/bin/bash`, or CI workflow blocks with `shell: bash` are created, modified, or reviewed and Bash-specific quality controls (quoting safety, error handling, portability, readability) must be enforced. Do not use for generic POSIX `sh`, PowerShell, or language-specific application style rules. In multi-language pull requests, run together with other applicable `*-style-guide` skills.
11architecture-clean-architecture
Clean Architecture workflow for enforcing dependency direction, stable domain boundaries, and use-case-centered application design. Use when teams must separate business rules from frameworks and delivery mechanisms; do not use for isolated module cleanup without boundary implications.
11powershell-style-guide
Style, review, and refactoring standards for PowerShell scripting. Trigger when `.ps1`, `.psm1`, `.psd1` files, or CI workflow blocks with `shell: pwsh` or `shell: powershell` are created, modified, or reviewed and PowerShell-specific quality controls (error handling, parameter validation, readability, operational safety) must be enforced. Do not use for Bash, generic POSIX `sh`, or language-specific application style rules. In multi-language pull requests, run together with other applicable `*-style-guide` skills.
10github-codeowners-management
Govern CODEOWNERS rules so review routing reflects real ownership and risk boundaries on GitHub. Use when repository ownership mapping or mandatory reviewer rules must be defined, updated, or audited; do not use for non-GitHub runtime architecture or data-layer design.
9security-authentication
Security workflow for authentication architecture, credential lifecycle, and session/token assurance. Use when login, identity proofing, MFA, or session security decisions are required; do not use for authorization policy design or non-security quality tuning.
