# 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.

## 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 [`references/implementation.md`](references/implementation.md) for detailed implementation guide.

## Output

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

## Error Handling

See [`references/errors.md`](references/errors.md) for comprehensive error handling.

## Examples

See [`references/examples.md`](references/examples.md) for detailed examples.
