Python Performance Optimization

Comprehensive guide to profiling, analyzing, and optimizing Python code for better performance, including CPU profiling, memory optimization, and implementation best practices.

Use this skill when

  • Identifying performance bottlenecks in Python applications

  • Reducing application latency and response times

  • Optimizing CPU-intensive operations

  • Reducing memory consumption and memory leaks

  • Improving database query performance

  • Optimizing I/O operations

  • Speeding up data processing pipelines

  • Implementing high-performance algorithms

  • Profiling production applications

    • Do not use this skill when

  • The task is unrelated to python performance optimization

  • You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

    • Instructions

  • Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.

  • Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.

  • Provide actionable steps and verification.

  • If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.
