Performance Capacity Agent Skill
Plan, diagnose, and verify performance budgets, latency targets, load tests, capacity estimates, bottleneck analysis, caching strategy, query efficiency, queue throughput, and regression gates. Use when a feature may be slow, a system must scale, a performance regression is suspected, or release readiness depends on throughput, cost, memory, CPU, or response time.

Purpose
Use this skill to make performance measurable before optimizing. It turns vague "make it faster" work into budgets, probes, bottleneck hypotheses, and regression gates.
Baseline First
Before changing code, capture:
- User-facing operation or background job under test.
- Current p50/p95/p99 latency or throughput.
- Data size and concurrency assumptions.
- Resource limits: CPU, memory, IO, network, database, queue.
- Existing cache behavior and invalidation rules.
- Cost or quota constraints.
If no baseline can be gathered, state the nearest measurable proxy and its limitations.
Budget Design
Define budgets by surface:
| Surface | Examples |
|---|---|
| UI | TTI, interaction latency, bundle size, render count |
| API | p95 latency, error rate, DB query count, payload size |
| Jobs | throughput, max lag, retry cost, idempotency |
| Data | query plan, index coverage, backfill duration |
| Infra | CPU/RSS, concurrency, autoscaling, cost per request |
Optimization Rules
- Optimize the measured bottleneck, not the most familiar code.
- Prefer algorithmic, query, batching, and cache correctness fixes before capacity-only fixes.
- Define cache invalidation and stale-data tolerance.
- Add a regression test, benchmark, or dashboard check for risky paths.
- Do not trade correctness, authorization, or tenant isolation for speed.

Toolkit for interacting with and testing local web applications using Playwright. Supports verifying frontend functionality, debugging UI behavior, capturing browser screenshots, and viewing browser logs.
Use when implementation is complete, all tests pass, and you need to decide how to integrate the work - guides completion of development work by presenting structured options for merge, PR, or cleanup
Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code
Use when encountering any bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior, before proposing fixes
Use when about to claim work is complete, fixed, or passing, before committing or creating PRs - requires running verification commands and confirming output before making any success claims; evidence before assertions always
Expert guidance for systematic backtesting of trading strategies. Use when developing, testing, stress-testing, or validating quantitative trading strategies. Covers "beating ideas to death" methodology, parameter robustness testing, slippage modeling, bias prevention, and interpreting backtest results. Applicable when user asks about backtesting, strategy validation, robustness testing, avoiding overfitting, or systematic trading development.
Cloud laboratory platform for automated protein testing and validation. Use when designing proteins and needing experimental validation including binding assays, expression testing, thermostability measurements, enzyme activity assays, or protein sequence optimization. Also use for submitting experiments via API, tracking experiment status, downloading results, optimizing protein sequences for better expression using computational tools (NetSolP, SoluProt, SolubleMPNN, ESM), or managing protein design workflows with wet-lab validation.
This skill should be used for time series machine learning tasks including classification, regression, clustering, forecasting, anomaly detection, segmentation, and similarity search. Use when working with temporal data, sequential patterns, or time-indexed observations requiring specialized algorithms beyond standard ML approaches. Particularly suited for univariate and multivariate time series analysis with scikit-learn compatible APIs.
