Profile CPU usage to identify hot spots and bottlenecks. Optimize code paths consuming most CPU time for better performance and resource efficiency.

Instructions onlySoftware Development
AI-generated overview

Guides CPU profiling to find hot spots and bottlenecks, then optimize the most CPU-expensive code paths.

What it does
This skill provides instructions for profiling CPU usage in order to identify functions and code paths that consume the most CPU time. It covers browser and React profiling workflows, analysis and interpretation of profiling results, an optimization process, and monitoring best practices. It produces guidance and reference material rather than scripts or generated files.
When to use it
Use it when an application shows high CPU usage, slow execution, or a performance regression, or before undertaking optimization work. It is also intended for production monitoring of CPU behavior.
Requirements
No scripts are shipped; the skill is instructions and reference documents only. It assumes access to profiling tools such as browser developer tools or the React Profiler.

Overview

CPU profiling identifies which functions consume most CPU time, enabling targeted optimization of expensive code paths.

When to Use

  • High CPU usage
  • Slow execution
  • Performance regression
  • Before optimization
  • Production monitoring

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

yaml
Browser Profiling:
Chrome DevTools:  Steps:    1. DevTools → Performance    2. Click record    3. Perform action    4. Stop recording    5. Analyze flame chart  Metrics:    - Function call duration    - Call frequency    - Total time vs self time
Firefox Profiler:  - Built-in performance profiler  - Flame graphs  - Timeline view  - Export and share
React Profiler:  - DevTools → Profiler  - Component render times  - Phase: render vs commit  - Why component re-rendered// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

Best Practices

✅ DO

  • Follow established patterns and conventions
  • Write clean, maintainable code
  • Add appropriate documentation
  • Test thoroughly before deploying

❌ DON'T

  • Skip testing or validation
  • Ignore error handling
  • Hard-code configuration values
