separate

Scans .NET code for ~50 performance anti-patterns across async, memory, strings, collections, LINQ, regex, serialization, and I/O with tiered severity classification. Use when analyzing .NET code for optimization opportunities, reviewing hot paths, or auditing allocation-heavy patterns.

When to use

• Reviewing C#/.NET code for performance optimization opportunities
• Auditing hot paths for allocation-heavy or inefficient patterns
• Systematic scan of a codebase for known anti-patterns before release
• Second-opinion analysis after manual performance review

When not to use

• **Algorithmic complexity analysis** — this skill targets API usage patterns, not algorithm design
• **Code not on a hot path** with no performance requirements — avoid premature optimization
