Windsurf Performance Profiling

Overview

This skill enables AI-assisted performance profiling within Windsurf. Cascade analyzes profiling data to identify bottlenecks, suggest optimizations, and predict impact of changes. It integrates with language-specific profilers and helps prioritize optimization efforts based on actual performance data rather than assumptions.

Prerequisites

  • Windsurf IDE with Cascade enabled
  • Profiling tools installed (Chrome DevTools, node --prof, py-spy, etc.)
  • Application with performance concerns
  • Baseline metrics established
  • Understanding of performance targets

Instructions

  1. Establish Baseline
  2. Collect Profile Data
  3. Analyze with Cascade
  4. Implement Optimizations
  5. Document and Monitor

See {baseDir}/references/implementation.md for detailed implementation guide.

Output

  • Profiling data and analysis
  • Bottleneck identification reports
  • Optimization recommendations
  • Before/after comparison metrics

Error Handling

See {baseDir}/references/errors.md for comprehensive error handling.

Examples

See {baseDir}/references/examples.md for detailed examples.
