type:audit type:debug

Read-only audit of performance and reliability — event-loop discipline, streaming and backpressure, memory/CPU diagnostics, production shutdown/timeout/job habits, cross-service resilience topology (circuit breakers, retry budgets, queue bounds, dual-writes), and frontend delivery (Core Web Vitals, bundle size, hydration) — producing evidence-backed findings and a SHIP / FIX / BLOCK verdict. Use when the user asks to 'audit performance', 'why is the service slow', 'why is my page slow', 'memory keeps climbing', 'tail latency is bad', 'the worker OOMs', 'is this ready for load', 'review this for throughput', or 'will this survive a dependency outage'. It audits and reports; it does not rewrite hot paths. Do not use for retry/backoff/idempotency header contracts (use awesome-error-standards — this skill audits the failure topology, that one owns the contract format) or for animation/render style standards (use awesome-code-standards — this skill measures, that one prescribes).

From the source SKILL.md

Audit a server, API, or worker for the runtime and reliability failure modes that cause latency, memory, and throughput problems in production — before micro-optimizing random lines. Treats performance as an operational property with auditable evidence (profiles, traces, code paths, config), not a one-time benchmark. Read-only: it reports findings and a verdict; it never rewrites hot paths. Hand the report to the relevant dev workflow to fix.

What this skill does

Awesome Performance Audit is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/awesome-performance-audit/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when the user asks to 'audit performance', 'why is the service slow', 'why is my page slow', 'memory keeps climbing', 'tail latency is bad', 'the worker OOMs', 'is this ready for load', 'review this for throughput', or 'will this survive a dependency outage'. It audits and reports; it does not rewrite hot paths.
