Optimization SKILL.md skillA
Optimization from nxtg-ai/forge-plugin is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Measure-first performance optimization playbook — profiling discipline, bottleneck triage (CPU/memory/I/O), caching layers, and the algorithm/DB/frontend/network fix patterns. Use when the user reports something is slow ("dashboard takes forever", "API is laggy", "bundle is 2MB", "memory keeps growing"), asks to profile, benchmark, reduce latency/bundle-size, or fix N+1 queries — and to interpret the output of the /nxtg-forge:optimize command or the `performance` agent.
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 Diagnose and fix performance problems **from measurement, never from guessing**. This skill is the reasoning layer; the deterministic scan lives in the `/nxtg-forge:optimize` command and the `performance` agent. ## The one rule > Measure → find the real bottleneck → fix that one thing → re-measure. Repeat. Premature optimization wastes effort on code that isn't hot. A profile that shows where time/memory/allocations actually go beats any intuition. Optimize the top item, prove the delta, then re-profile — the bottleneck usually moves. ## Where this fits in Forge | Surface | What it does | When | |---|---|---| | `/nxtg-forge:optimize` (command) | Deterministic 7-dimension static scan (large files, `as any`, dead exports, deps, dup, console, TODO debt) + optional `--fix` | Codebase-health sweep, refactor triage | | `performance` agent (`agents/performance.md`) | Bundle analysis, React render profiling, memory-leak hunting, API latency | Deep dive on a specific slow surface | | This skill | The measure-first method + fix patterns both of the above apply | Any "it's slow" reasoning | …

How to install
mdr add nxtg-ai/forge-plugin/Optimization@sha256:aa9b778d69cc6733The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.7682d9b, 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.
