What it does

Performance is an agent skill from BuilderIO/agent-native. Keep app loads and interactions responsive as data grows. Use when a page feels slow, jumps, or lags, or when changing a data read, list, polling path, startup path, or performance-sensitive UI.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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: A framework for building agentic apps.

When your agent uses it

  • A page feels slow
  • Changing a data read
  • Performance-sensitive UI

Example prompts

  • “/performance”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit be0d784. 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

Performance loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 589 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 589 words (~1,019 tokens).

“Find the cost that users actually wait on, then reduce it without weakening the result. A slow screen may be waiting on the server, moving too much data, serial reads, repeated computation, or browser rendering; measure before adding caches or…”
