This measures where the time and memory actually go, then helps you change the slow parts. Reach for it when something feels sluggish and guessing has not worked. ### Top 3 things it does for you - Profile a slow script - Track down a memory hog - Fix the bottleneck that is costing you time ## Information **Python Performance Optimization at a glance** | | | | --- | --- | | Kind | Skill | | Publisher | [Seth Hobson](/@wshobson) | | Category | [Developer Tools](/category/devtools) | | Works with | Agent Skills - an open standard supported by 40+ agents | | Size | 21 KB | | Licence | MIT | | Repository | [wshobson/agents](https://github.com/wshobson/agents/tree/be57c0b2e3c05c528ca6132b87410b385718775f/plugins/python-development/skills/python-performance-optimization) | | GitHub stars | 39,077 (as of Nov 2026) | | Installs | 37,632, counted by skills.sh (Nov 2026) | ## Security report **Verified.** AIR scanned this exact version of Python Performance Optimization and recorded 0 findings and 4 flagged items.

A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned. [Read the full security report for Python Performance Optimization](/security/python-performance-optimization) ## About Python Performance Optimization Slow Python is hard to reason about by reading it. This skill profiles your code so the time and memory costs show up as measurements rather than hunches. It covers profiling with cProfile and memory profilers, plus the performance practices that turn a measurement into a fix. Use it when you are debugging slow code, working on a known bottleneck, or trying to make an application perform better overall. ## What's inside - SKILL.md - instructions - references/advanced-patterns.md - reference - references/details.md - reference ## Questions ### Is Python Performance Optimization safe to install? AIR scanned this exact version of Python Performance Optimization and recorded 0 findings and 4 flagged items. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit be57c0b2e3c0, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/python-performance-optimization. ### How do I install Python Performance Optimization? Open https://airmarket.ai/app/python-performance-optimization on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/wshobson/agents/tree/be57c0b2e3c05c528ca6132b87410b385718775f/plugins/python-development/skills/python-performance-optimization.
