perf-audit SKILL.md skillA

perf-audit from arcasilesgroup/ai-engineering is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add arcasilesgroup/ai-engineering/perf-audit@git:20261106.9932b24

Pins git:20261106.9932b24 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Audit performance — payload and bundle size, data-access patterns and waterfalls, caching, assets, and compute cost — reporting only issues with a measurable, user-visible cost. Use when asked about performance, slow loads, slow queries, slow renders, bundle size, memory use, Core Web Vitals, or optimizing the app.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Performance audit

Find work the system does that it does not need to do, where the cost is
**user-visible**. Micro-optimizations that save a microsecond are not findings;
120KB of JavaScript shipped to render static text is, and so is an N+1 query that
turns one page load into 200 round trips.

Read `.claude/review/CONVENTIONS.md` first — stack detection, scope,
false-positive gate, report format. The **installed-version rule** matters
especially here: caching semantics, lazy-loading defaults, and compiler behavior
change between versions, and a stale mental model produces confident, wrong
findings. Confirm the installed version's default is not already doing what you
are about to recommend.

## 1. Find the biggest cost centre first

Do not run a fixed checklist top to bottom. Establish what kind of system this is
and go where the cost actually lives:

| System | Usually dominated by |
|---|---|
| Client-heavy web app | shipped bytes, hydration, render cost |
| Server-rendered app | data fetching, cache correctness, time to first byte |
| API / service | database access patterns, serialization, connection handling |
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add arcasilesgroup/ai-engineering/perf-audit@sha256:766d40fad3808930

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.9932b24, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
