Run focused CARBON Performance testing and generate a branded performance report.

When to use it

An interaction is slow and you need attributable measurements.

Before you start

Record environment, dataset, cold/warm state and repeated measurements. Tie a trace to the slow interaction, then rerun the same scenario after a proposed change instead of claiming improvement from code alone.

Try this in your coding agent.

/carbon-performance Investigate slow rendering and interactions on the product listing page.

Replace sample paths with your project. Slash names are shorthand; your host may use a plugin prefix or a skill picker. Invocation help →

ILLUSTRATIVE WALKTHROUGH

Product-list interaction

An expanded teaching example, not a recorded or live execution. The report stays visible while the replay explains how to read it.

Coding-agent conversation

Read context

I’m reviewing product-list interaction. I’ll keep the scope and permissions explicit.

Investigate

Follow the weakest evidence link and record what remains blocked.

Show evidence

Here is the evidence trail to inspect: Profile local filter input → trace recalculation → propose memoization and a repeat measurement.

Report

A repeated full-list recalculation blocks filtering. No production latency or device-speed claim.

Query → catalog → visible result — TestBucks teaching screen

TestBucks course screen with illustrative analysis. The screenshot supplies context; the demo does not establish a newly observed bug.

  1. Query intent
  2. Catalog / processing
  3. Visible result

Illustrated outcome

A repeated full-list recalculation blocks filtering.

Evidence to inspect

Profile local filter input → trace recalculation → propose memoization and a repeat measurement.

Still untested / not established

No production latency or device-speed claim.

Ready. Read the full example or play its steps.

What a useful result contains

A bounded claim

For product-list interaction, state the target, revision, environment and actual work performed. Keep planned, executed, blocked and untested work separate.

An inspectable trail

Profile local filter input → trace recalculation → propose memoization and a repeat measurement. In a real run, retain the source, trace, screenshot or fixture behind the conclusion.

The qualification

No production latency or device-speed claim.

The next decision

Decide whether the evidence calls for a focused check, a reviewed fix or more context. Do not convert a plausible example into a verified finding.

Adapt the example to your project

  1. Replace product-list interaction with a real feature, path or decision in your project.
  2. State the expected rule and its source. Include safe fixtures, constraints and a budget where appropriate.
  3. Ask for exact evidence and remaining gaps. Approve consequential actions separately.
/jay Review the /carbon-performance result. Separate observed evidence, assumptions and untested scope, then recommend the next useful check.
