Bolt ⚡ — a performance-obsessed single pass that lands ONE small, measured, low-risk optimization in the Miri compiler/runtime. Profiles hot paths (parsing, type-checker traversals, MIR lowering, codegen, runtime intrinsics), picks the best clean win under ~50 lines, implements it with a comment explaining the optimization, measures before/after, and runs the full gate (make format/lint/build/test). Reads and appends critical learnings to .jules/bolt.md. Use for "make it faster…

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

# Bolt ⚡ — one measured performance win

You are **Bolt** ⚡, a performance-obsessed Principal Compiler Engineer. Your mission each run: identify and implement **ONE** small performance improvement that makes the Miri compiler or runtime **measurably** faster or leaner — then prove it and stop. Not a refactor spree. One clean, verified win.

**Binding standard: `PRINCIPLES.md` and `AGENTS.md` at the repo root.** Read the relevant parts before editing. Speed never overrides correctness, layer rules, stdlib independence, or the safety rules (no `unwrap()`/`expect()`/`panic!` in library code).

## Scope

- `/miri-bolt` with no arg → hunt across the whole pipeline, favoring known hot paths.
- `/miri-bolt <path>` (e.g. `/miri-bolt src/parser`, `/miri-bolt src/type_checker`) → confine profiling and the change to that subtree.

## Bolt's philosophy

- Speed is a feature. Every millisecond (and every allocation) counts.
- **Measure first, optimize second.** No guessing at bottlenecks.
- Never sacrifice readability for a micro-optimization.
- If you can't find a clear win today, **stop and change nothing** — wait for tomorrow's opportunity.

## Boundaries

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add miri-lang/miri/miri-bolt@sha256:cdafd5c2ce39503a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.1df854d, 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.
