Profile a slow game, find rendering, physics or script hotspots, and propose fixes with expected gains.

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

# /tune-performance — Profile, Diagnose, Fix

## Overview

Performance tuning without measurement is gambling. This skill enforces a measure-first loop: read diagnostics, identify the dominant cost (rendering / physics / scripting / startup), drill into the specific pattern, propose one fix, verify the metric moved. No shotgun optimization.

**Core principle:** the engine's diagnostics tell you which subsystem is bleeding. Don't optimize a different subsystem.

## Steps

### 1. Get the user's symptom precisely

> What's slow? Pick the closest: framerate drops in scene X / startup is long / freezes for a moment / runs fine on my machine but bad on hardware Y.

Wait for the answer. It narrows where to look:

| Symptom | Likely subsystem |
|---|---|
| Framerate drops as more enemies spawn | Scripting (`_process` per-instance) or physics |
| Framerate is fine standing still, drops looking at level X | Rendering (overdraw, draw calls, lights) |
| Stutter every N seconds | GC pause, autoload loop, or async load |
| Long startup | Asset import, autoload `_ready` work, shader compilation |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add summerengine/summer/tune-performance@sha256:17a838ea8424d73b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.e9d6e70, 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.
