profiling
FoundationJIT onlytask-agent/review-agent: use when CPU, memory, I/O, database, network, rendering, or cost needs measured bottleneck evidence; skip without a profiling need.

Use when
Trigger signals that make this skill the right owner
- profile CPU memory IO database network rendering cloud cost unit economics and bottlenecks
Do not use when
Anti-triggers — as binding as the triggers above
- no task-local profiling decision is required
Required inputs
What must be supplied before this skill can decide anything
- current task contract
- selected primary Professional Skill
- task-local trigger evidence
Output contract
What this skill owes the next role
- profiling evidence with symptom and hypothesis, representative comparable workload, measured bottleneck and re-profile, resource/cost transfer, overhead boundary, correctness guard, and owned sensitive-artifact lifecycle
Escalation signals
When this skill must hand the decision back
- Guessing at bottlenecks or cost drivers wastes effort and can worsen real constraints
Loaded by
This skill never owns a task. These professionals may pull it in as Layer 3.
Targeted references
Each reference carries its own load condition. None of them enter context by default.
| Reference | Load when | Do not load when | Required by |
|---|---|---|---|
| benchmarks-and-patterns.mdbenchmark-pattern | Competing profiler signal workload or bottleneck patterns remain viable. | One authorized representative method directly tests the hypothesis and root rules resolve the decision. | TaskReview |
| checklist.mddecision-checklist | Several comparison overhead transfer correctness or artifact-lifecycle decisions must close together. | One bounded measurement has comparable evidence an owner a stop path and no unresolved artifact lifecycle. | TaskReview |
| evidence-patterns.mdevidence-pattern | Hypothesis representative comparison bottleneck re-profile transfer overhead correctness or sensitive-artifact freshness claims need proof. | Representative matched final measurements correctness checks and owned artifact cleanup close the claims. | TaskReview |
