What it does

Performance is an agent skill from Piebald-AI/splitrail. Performance optimization guidelines for Splitrail. Use when optimizing parsing, reducing memory usage, or improving throughput.

Its SKILL.md is about 250 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 Performance optimization. It works with Qwen. The repository describes itself as: Fast, cross-platform, real-time token usage tracker and cost monitor for Claude Code / Codex CLI / Antigravity CLI / Qwen Code / Cline / Zoo Code / Kilo Code / GitHub Copilot /… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Optimizing parsing
  • Reducing memory usage
  • Improving throughput

Example prompts

  • “/performance”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Prefer parallel processing for I/O-bound operations
  2. Use parking_lot locks over std::sync for better performance
  3. Avoid loading all messages into memory when not needed
  4. Use BTreeMap for date-ordered data (sorted iteration)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d9cbe50. 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 245 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 100 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~245

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.

Performance Considerations

Techniques Used

  • Parallel analyzer loading - futures::join_all() for concurrent stats loading
  • Parallel file parsing - rayon for parallel iteration over files
  • Fast JSON parsing - simd_json exclusively for all JSON operations (note: rmcp crate re-exports serde_json for MCP server types)
  • Fast directory walking - jwalk for parallel directory traversal
  • Lazy message loading - TUI loads messages on-demand for session view

See existing analyzers in src/analyzers/ for usage patterns.

Guidelines

  1. Prefer parallel processing for I/O-bound operations
  2. Use parking_lot locks over std::sync for better performance
  3. Avoid loading all messages into memory when not needed
  4. Use BTreeMap for date-ordered data (sorted iteration)

Questions about Performance

What does Performance do?

Performance optimization guidelines for Splitrail. An agent skill from Piebald-AI/splitrail. Performance is an agent skill from Piebald-AI/splitrail. Performance optimization guidelines for Splitrail.

When should I use Performance?

Performance fits situations like: optimizing parsing; reducing memory usage; improving throughput.

How do I install Performance in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add Piebald-AI/splitrail --skill performance -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/performance in Piebald-AI/splitrail) into .claude/skills/performance in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Performance in Codex?

Run `npx skills add Piebald-AI/splitrail --skill performance -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/performance in Piebald-AI/splitrail) into .agents/skills/performance in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Performance 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 Piebald-AI/splitrail --skill performance -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/performance, .gemini/skills/performance, .github/skills/performance and .opencode/skills/performance in your project.

What does Performance need to run?

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

Does Performance 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 Performance 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 Performance use?

Performance 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 Performance use?

About 245 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 980 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 Performance?
