Find and fix game performance problems methodically — measure with the engine profiler first, reason about the frame-time budget, locate the CPU-vs-GPU bottleneck, then apply the right fix: object pooling, draw-call batching, fewer allocations/GC spikes, and asset budgets. Engine- neutral method that pairs with each engine's profiler. Use when the user mentions performance, optimize, low/dropping FPS, frame drops, stutter, lag, profiler, frame budget, draw calls, batching, garbage…

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 optimization

Performance work is a measurement discipline, not a bag of tricks. The method is always the
same: **profile → find the one bottleneck → fix that → measure again**. This skill teaches that
loop and the highest-leverage fixes (pooling, batching, allocation control, asset budgets), and
points you at each engine's profiler. It pairs with `physics-tuning` for simulation cost.

## When to use

- Use when the frame rate is low or uneven, the game stutters/hitches, or it must hit a target
  (60 FPS desktop, 30/60 mobile) and currently doesn't.
- Use to decide *what* to optimize: profile, read the frame budget, and identify whether the CPU
  or GPU is the bottleneck before changing any code.
- Use to apply specific fixes: object pooling, draw-call/batch reduction, removing per-frame
  allocations and GC spikes, and setting asset budgets.

**When *not* to use:** for physics jitter/tunneling/timestep specifically, use `physics-tuning`.
For the engine's concrete profiler UI and rendering settings, use that
engine skill (`godot-export` covers some build settings; engine cores cover the rest). This skill
is the cross-engine method and the shared fixes.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ukanwat/overtime/performance-optimization@sha256:54cbf9da75bcefe7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260812.5b73825, 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.
