Multi-Agent Performance Profiling

Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

Overview

Prescriptive workflow for spawning parallel profiling agents to comprehensively identify performance bottlenecks across multiple system layers. Successfully discovered that QuestDB ingests at 1.1M rows/sec (11x faster than target), proving database was NOT the bottleneck - CloudFront download was 90% of pipeline time.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

• Performance below SLO (e.g., 47K vs 100K rows/sec target)
• Multi-stage pipeline optimization (download → extract → parse → ingest)
• Database performance investigation
• Bottleneck identification in complex workflows
• Pre-optimization analysis (before making changes)
