Performance Optimization Advisor

Positioning

Treat this skill as an explicit/manual advisor for prioritizing optimization work.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• Prioritizing known or suspected performance bottlenecks from existing logs, traces, benchmarks, or user reports.
• Get recommendations for improving website loading speed.
• Optimize database query performance.
• Improve API response times.
• Reduce infrastructure costs.

Not For / Boundaries

• Build-to-build regression detection: use detecting-performance-regressions
• Raw benchmark execution or profiling capture: use performance-testing
• Test-result packaging for QA audiences: use generating-test-reports

Typical Outputs

• A ranked optimization backlog by impact and effort
• Concrete hotspots by layer: frontend, backend, infra, or database
• Suggested validation steps to prove the optimization worked
