About this skill
Performance Profiling
Measure, analyze, optimize - in that order.
🔧 Runtime Scripts
Execute these for automated profiling:
| Script | Purpose | Usage |
|---|---|---|
scripts/lighthouse_audit.py | Lighthouse performance audit | python scripts/lighthouse_audit.py https://example.com |
1. Core Web Vitals
Targets
| Metric | Good | Poor | Measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| LCP | < 2.5s | > 4.0s | Loading |
| INP | < 200ms | > 500ms | Interactivity |
| CLS | < 0.1 | > 0.25 | Stability |
When to Measure
| Stage | Tool |
|---|---|
| Development | Local Lighthouse |
| CI/CD | Lighthouse CI |
| Production | RUM (Real User Monitoring) |
2. Profiling Workflow
The 4-Step Process
1. BASELINE → Measure current state
2. IDENTIFY → Find the bottleneck
3. FIX → Make targeted change
4. VALIDATE → Confirm improvement
Profiling Tool Selection
| Problem | Tool |
|---|---|
| Page load | Lighthouse |
| Bundle size | Bundle analyzer |
| Runtime | DevTools Performance |
| Memory | DevTools Memory |
| Network | DevTools Network |
3. Bundle Analysis
What to Look For
| Issue | Indicator |
|---|---|
| Large dependencies | Top of bundle |
| Duplicate code | Multiple chunks |
| Unused code | Low coverage |
| Missing splits | Single large chunk |
Optimization Actions
| Finding | Action |
|---|---|
| Big library | Import specific modules |
| Duplicate deps | Dedupe, update versions |
| Route in main | Code split |
| Unused exports | Tree shake |
4. Runtime Profiling
Performance Tab Analysis
| Pattern | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Long tasks (>50ms) | UI blocking |
| Many small tasks | Possible batching opportunity |
| Layout/paint | Rendering bottleneck |
| Script | JavaScript execution |
Memory Tab Analysis
| Pattern | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Growing heap | Possible leak |
| Large retained | Check references |
| Detached DOM | Not cleaned up |
5. Common Bottlenecks
By Symptom
| Symptom | Likely Cause |
|---|---|
| Slow initial load | Large JS, render blocking |
| Slow interactions | Heavy event handlers |
| Jank during scroll | Layout thrashing |
| Growing memory | Leaks, retained refs |
6. Quick Win Priorities
| Priority | Action | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Enable compression | High |
| 2 | Lazy load images | High |
| 3 | Code split routes | High |
| 4 | Cache static assets | Medium |
| 5 | Optimize images | Medium |
7. Anti-Patterns
| ❌ Don't | ✅ Do |
|---|---|
| Guess at problems | Profile first |
| Micro-optimize | Fix biggest issue |
| Optimize early | Optimize when needed |
| Ignore real users | Use RUM data |
Remember: The fastest code is code that doesn't run. Remove before optimizing.

Create professional draw.io (diagrams.net) diagrams in XML format (.drawio files) with integrated PMP/PMBOK methodologies, extensive visual asset libraries, and industry-standard professional templates. Use this skill when users ask to create flowcharts, swimlane diagrams, cross-functional flowcharts, org charts, network diagrams, UML diagrams, BPMN, project management diagrams (WBS, Gantt, PERT, RACI), risk matrices, stakeholder maps, or any other visual diagram in draw.io format. This skill includes access to custom shape libraries for icons, clipart, and professional symbols.
godot
bfollington
This skill should be used when working on Godot Engine projects. It provides specialized knowledge of Godot's file formats (.gd, .tscn, .tres), architecture patterns (component-based, signal-driven, resource-based), common pitfalls, validation tools, code templates, and CLI workflows. The `godot` command is available for running the game, validating scripts, importing resources, and exporting builds. Use this skill for tasks involving Godot game development, debugging scene/resource files, implementing game systems, or creating new Godot components.
nano-banana-pro
garg-aayush
Generate and edit images using Google's Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) API. Use when the user asks to generate, create, edit, modify, change, alter, or update images. Also use when user references an existing image file and asks to modify it in any way (e.g., "modify this image", "change the background", "replace X with Y"). Supports both text-to-image generation and image-to-image editing with configurable resolution (1K default, 2K, or 4K for high resolution). DO NOT read the image file first - use this skill directly with the --input-image parameter.
pdf-to-markdown
aliceisjustplaying
Convert entire PDF documents to clean, structured Markdown for full context loading. Use this skill when the user wants to extract ALL text from a PDF into context (not grep/search), when discussing or analyzing PDF content in full, when the user mentions "load the whole PDF", "bring the PDF into context", "read the entire PDF", or when partial extraction/grepping would miss important context. This is the preferred method for PDF text extraction over page-by-page or grep approaches.
