  Produce a prioritized performance-optimization roadmap across frontend, backend, and infrastructure.
  Use as an explicit/manual helper after bottlenecks are known or suspected, not as the owner of regression detection, profiling capture, or test execution.

Performance Optimization Advisor

Positioning

Treat this skill as an explicit/manual advisor for prioritizing optimization work.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• Prioritizing known or suspected performance bottlenecks from existing logs, traces, benchmarks, or user reports.
• Get recommendations for improving website loading speed.
• Optimize database query performance.
• Improve API response times.
• Reduce infrastructure costs.

Not For / Boundaries

• Build-to-build regression detection: use `detecting-performance-regressions`
• Raw benchmark execution or profiling capture: use `performance-testing`
• Test-result packaging for QA audiences: use `generating-test-reports`

Typical Outputs

• A ranked optimization backlog by impact and effort
• Concrete hotspots by layer: frontend, backend, infra, or database
• Suggested validation steps to prove the optimization worked

• `performance-testing` to collect the measurements behind the advice
