What it does

Windsurf Performance Profiling is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Profile and optimize code with AI-assisted analysis. Activate when users mention "performance profiling", "optimize performance", "bottleneck analysis", "profiling", or "performance tuning". Handles performance analysis and optimization. Use when working with windsurf performance profiling functionality. Trigger with phrases like "windsurf performance profiling", "windsurf profiling", "windsurf".

Its SKILL.md is about 490 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/directory-structure.md`, `references/errors.md` and `references/examples.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Development, covering Performance optimization. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • S mention performance profiling
  • Optimize performance
  • Bottleneck analysis
  • Performance tuning

Example prompts

  • “performance profiling”
  • “optimize performance”
  • “bottleneck analysis”
  • “/windsurf-performance-profiling”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash(cmd:*), Grep

Workflow steps

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

  1. Establish Baseline
  2. Collect Profile Data
  3. Analyze with Cascade
  4. Implement Optimizations
  5. Document and Monitor

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 80f86df. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash(cmd:*)
    • Grep

    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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • docs.windsurf.ai

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Windsurf Performance Profiling loads about 494 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 108 tokens; SKILL.md has 113 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~108
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~494
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.6k

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.

Windsurf Performance Profiling

Overview

This skill enables AI-assisted performance profiling within Windsurf. Cascade analyzes profiling data to identify bottlenecks, suggest optimizations, and predict impact of changes.

Prerequisites

  • Windsurf IDE with Cascade enabled
  • Profiling tools installed (Chrome DevTools, node --prof, py-spy, etc.)
  • Application with performance concerns
  • Baseline metrics established
  • Understanding of performance targets

Instructions

  1. Establish Baseline
  2. Collect Profile Data
  3. Analyze with Cascade
  4. Implement Optimizations
  5. Document and Monitor

See ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/implementation.md for detailed implementation guide.

Output

  • Profiling data and analysis
  • Bottleneck identification reports
  • Optimization recommendations
  • Before/after comparison metrics

Error Handling

See ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/errors.md for comprehensive error handling.

Examples

See ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/examples.md for detailed examples.
