engineering/skills/performance-profiler/SKILL.md
Systematic performance profiling for Node.js, Python, and Go applications. Identifies CPU, memory, and I/O bottlenecks, generates flamegraphs, analyzes bundle sizes, optimizes database queries, runs load tests with k6 and Artillery. Always measures before and after. Use when investigating a slow endpoint, planning a performance budget, or hunting a memory leak in production.

# Wrong: "I think the N+1 query is slow, let me fix it"
# Right: Profile → confirm bottleneck → fix → measure again → verify improvement

development
Use when someone wants to run a weekly review, close open loops, audit stalled projects and commitments, get their system back to trusted, restart a lapsed review habit, or says "/cs:weekly-review". Walks David Allen's three-phase loop — GET CLEAR, GET CURRENT, GET CREATIVE — with deterministic scripts that inventory open loops, gate the checklist with named gaps, and score commitment health 0-100.
development
Use when someone wants to decide whether a meeting is worth calling, price a meeting in dollars, build a timeboxed agenda with desired outcomes, or turn messy meeting notes into owned action items — or says "should this be a meeting", "/cs:meeting-prep", or "/cs:meeting-actions". Runs a cost gate (ASYNC / NOT-READY / MEET), builds a decision-first agenda, and extracts an owner + due-date checklist that flags every orphan.
development
Convert a rambling description of a desired outcome into one polished, autonomous /goal prompt ready to paste into a fresh session. Use when the user says "/fable-goal", "turn this into a goal prompt", "write me a fable prompt", "write the prompt that builds X", or rambles about something they want made and asks for the prompt that makes it happen. The output is a single copy-paste prompt, never the build itself. Do NOT use when the user wants the thing built right now in this session — only when they want the PROMPT that will make it happen in a fresh session.
development
Use when someone wants to plan a deep work day, time-block their calendar or task list, budget or cut shallow work, protect focus hours, track deep-work sessions and streaks, run an end-of-day shutdown ritual, or says "/deep-work" or "/time-block". Classifies tasks deep vs shallow, builds an energy-first time-blocked schedule that refuses deep demand past the 4-hour ceiling, batches shallow work into at most two windows, and logs focus sessions against a weekly target.
