API cost & performance scanner — identify expensive operations and optimization opportunities

  • Works in 4 steps: Determine Focus → Launch Scanner Agents → Build Optimization Report → …
  • SKILL.md covers Ethos, Context, Input and Prerequisites, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Optimize is an agent skill from atelier-fashion/adlc-toolkit. API cost & performance scanner — identify expensive operations and optimization opportunities

Its SKILL.md is about 710 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Shared SDLC skills and templates for Claude Code. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/optimize”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Determine Focus
  2. Launch Scanner Agents
  3. Build Optimization Report
  4. Prioritized Recommendations

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3a48c27. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Optimize loads about 714 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 320 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~26
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~714

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

API cost & performance scanner — identify expensive operations and optimization opportunities
argument-hint
Optional focus area (e.g., "ai", "caching", "queries", "latency")

/optimize — API Cost & Performance Scanner

You are scanning this project's API and infrastructure for cost and performance optimization opportunities.

Ethos

!test -s .adlc/ETHOS.md && cat .adlc/ETHOS.md || echo No ethos found — run /init to vendor .adlc/ETHOS.md

Context

  • Architecture: !cat .adlc/context/architecture.md || echo No architecture context found
  • Project overview: !cat .adlc/context/project-overview.md || echo No project overview found

Input

Focus: $ARGUMENTS

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, verify that .adlc/context/architecture.md and .adlc/context/project-overview.md exist. If any of these files are missing, stop and tell the user: "The .adlc/ structure hasn't been initialized. Run /init first to set up the project context."

Instructions

Step 1: Determine Focus
  1. If given a focus area, prioritize that dimension
  2. If no argument, scan all dimensions
  3. Read .adlc/context/architecture.md for current caching and optimization patterns
Step 2: Launch Scanner Agents

Launch 3 formal scanner agents in parallel using the Agent tool. Each agent is defined in ~/.claude/agents/ with its full scanning checklist and model selection (sonnet for deep analysis).

  1. api-cost-scanner agent — provide the focus scope and architecture.md for caching context
  2. db-perf-scanner agent — provide the focus scope
  3. latency-scanner agent — provide the focus scope

Each agent returns structured findings with estimated impact, effort, and risk.

Performance Hotspots

Rank endpoints by estimated latency, highlighting:

  • Sequential operations that could be parallel
  • Missing caches
  • N+1 query patterns
  • Unnecessary data fetching
Optimization Opportunities

For each opportunity:

  • What: Description of the optimization
  • Impact: Cost savings or latency reduction estimate
  • Effort: Small / Medium / Large
  • Risk: Low / Medium / High (chance of breaking something)
Step 4: Prioritized Recommendations
  1. Rank optimizations by impact/effort ratio
  2. Group into quick wins (small effort, high impact) and strategic improvements
  3. Suggest which items warrant a full ADLC requirement (candidates for /spec)

Questions about Optimize

What does Optimize do?

API cost & performance scanner — identify expensive operations and optimization opportunities. Optimize is an agent skill from atelier-fashion/adlc-toolkit.

How do I install Optimize in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add atelier-fashion/adlc-toolkit --skill optimize -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (optimize in atelier-fashion/adlc-toolkit) into .claude/skills/optimize in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Optimize in Codex?

Run `npx skills add atelier-fashion/adlc-toolkit --skill optimize -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (optimize in atelier-fashion/adlc-toolkit) into .agents/skills/optimize in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Optimize in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add atelier-fashion/adlc-toolkit --skill optimize -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/optimize, .gemini/skills/optimize, .github/skills/optimize and .opencode/skills/optimize in your project.

What does Optimize need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Optimize is instructions for the agent only.

Does Optimize access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Optimize safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Optimize use?

Optimize is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Optimize use?

About 714 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Optimize?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Optimize: Cost Optimize (ruvnet/ruflo, 74k stars), Gke Cost Optimization (google/skills, 21k stars), Cloud Cost Optimization (wshobson/agents, 40k stars) and LLM Cost Optimization (sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, 47k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Optimize?

atelier-fashion (a GitHub organization) maintains it in atelier-fashion/adlc-toolkit, which has 171 GitHub stars. The repository holds 16 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on September 28, 2026.
