What this skill does


# Performance Expert Skill

Expert in performance optimization for React, Next.js, NestJS applications, MongoDB, and AWS infrastructure.

## When to Use This Skill

- Optimizing React components or Next.js pages
- Improving API response times
- Optimizing database queries
- Analyzing bundle sizes
- Implementing caching strategies
- Optimizing images or assets
- Configuring CDN or caching
- Reviewing Core Web Vitals

## Project Context Discovery

1. Check `.agents/memory/` for performance architecture context (e.g., `repo_frontend_design_execution.md`, any `*performance*` or `*architecture*` files)
2. Identify performance tools (Lighthouse CI, APM)
3. Review existing optimizations and caching strategies
4. Check for `[project]-performance-expert` skill

## Core Performance Principles

### Frontend (React/Next.js)

**Bundle Optimization:** Code splitting, dynamic imports, tree shaking, remove unused deps

**React Optimization:** useMemo, useCallback, React.memo, virtualization, lazy loading

**Next.js:** Server Components, SSG, ISR, next/image, font optimization

**Assets:** WebP images, font subset, CSS minify, Gzip/Brotli

### Backend (NestJS)

**API Response Times:** Target < 200ms (p95), caching, background jobs, connection pooling

**Query Optimization:** Indexes, projections, pagination, optimized aggregations

### Database (MongoDB)

**Indexes:** On frequently queried fields, compound indexes, monitor usage

**Queries:** Early $match, projection before expensive ops, sort with indexes

### Infrastructure (AWS)

**CDN:** CloudFront caching, cache headers, edge optimization

**Lambda:** Cold start optimization, memory allocation, provisioned concurrency

## Performance Metrics

### Frontend (Core Web Vitals)

- **LCP:** < 2.5s
- **FID:** < 100ms
- **CLS:** < 0.1
- **FCP:** < 1.8s

### Backend

- **API p50:** < 100ms
- **API p95:** < 200ms
- **DB Query p95:** < 50ms
- **Error Rate:** < 0.1%

## Quick Checklist

### Frontend

- [ ] Bundle size < 200KB initial
- [ ] Code splitting implemented
- [ ] Images optimized and lazy loaded
- [ ] React components memoized

### Backend

- [ ] Database queries optimized
- [ ] Indexes created and used
- [ ] Caching implemented
- [ ] Background jobs for heavy operations

generating-lwc-components

Included

Lightning Web Components with PICKLES methodology and 165-point scoring. Use this skill when the user creates or edits LWC components, builds wire service patterns, or writes Jest tests for LWC. TRIGGER when: user creates/edits LWC components, touches lwc/**/*.js, .html, .css, .js-meta.xml files, or asks about wire service, SLDS, or Jest LWC tests. DO NOT TRIGGER when: Apex classes (use generating-apex), Aura components, or Visualforce.

tanstack-query

Included

Manage server state in React with TanStack Query v5. Set up queries with useQuery, mutations with useMutation, configure QueryClient caching strategies, implement optimistic updates, and handle infinite scroll with useInfiniteQuery. Use when: setting up data fetching in React projects, migrating from v4 to v5, or fixing object syntax required errors, query callbacks removed issues, cacheTime renamed to gcTime, isPending vs isLoading confusion, keepPreviousData removed problems.

document-processor-api

Included

Process documents with Nutrient DWS. Use when the user wants to generate PDFs from HTML or URLs, convert Office/images/PDFs, assemble or split packets, OCR scans, extract text/tables/key-value pairs, redact PII, watermark, sign, fill forms, optimize PDFs, or produce compliance outputs like PDF/A or PDF/UA. Triggers include convert to PDF, merge these PDFs, OCR this scan, extract tables, redact PII, sign this PDF, make this PDF/A, or linearize for web delivery.
