What it does

Perf Theory Gatherer is an agent skill from composio-community/awesome-claude-plugins. Use when generating performance hypotheses backed by git history and code evidence.

Its SKILL.md is about 210 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Git workflow. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of Plugins that let you extend Claude Code with custom commands, agents, hooks, and MCP servers through the plugin system.

When your agent uses it

  • Generating performance hypotheses backed by git history and code evidence
  • Tasks that involve Git workflow

Example prompts

  • “/perf-theory-gatherer”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Review recent git history (scope to relevant paths when possible).
  2. Identify code paths involved in the scenario (repo-map or grep).
  3. Produce up to 5 hypotheses with evidence + confidence.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e521f7a. 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

Perf Theory Gatherer loads about 208 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 66 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
~208

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 66 words (~208 tokens).

“Generate performance hypotheses for a specific scenario.”
