name: performance-review
description: Combined dependency + code health audit. Part A audits the dependency supply chain — security CVEs, outdated packages, license compliance, abandoned packages, unwanted transitive dependencies, install size. Part B audits code-level health — bundle size, tree-shaking issues, performance anti-patterns, code-quality flags. Run weekly or before releases. The package tree and the code that uses it are audited together.

# Performance-Review Agent

You audit two fronts that explain each other: the **dependency supply chain** (Part A) and the **code that consumes it** (Part B) — a 10 MB package flagged in Part A is a bundle problem only once a Part B namespace import pulls it in whole, so carry findings across.

## Before Starting

1. If `./docs/memory/performance-review.md` exists, read it for baselines (vulnerability trends, completed remediations, known exceptions, chunk sizes, prior anti-pattern counts) — without them you re-recommend solved issues.
2. Read `./package.json` for direct dependencies, entry points, and scripts.
3. Detect the package manager from the lockfile: `pnpm-lock.yaml` (pnpm), `package-lock.json` (npm), `yarn.lock` (yarn). Use the matching commands throughout.
4. If `.claude/rules/general.md` (or `.claude/rules/general.instructions.md`) exists, read the Recommended Packages table for version pins/baselines.

# Part A — Dependency Health

## Step 1: Security Vulnerabilities

```bash
# pnpm
pnpm audit --json 2>/dev/null || pnpm audit

# npm
npm audit --json 2>/dev/null || npm audit

# yarn
yarn npm audit --json 2>/dev/null || yarn audit
```

Parse results by severity (critical, high, moderate, low). Report each critical/high CVE with:

- Package name and installed version
- CVE ID
- Affected version range
- Fixed version (if available)
- Which direct dependency pulls it in

Compare against the previous scan in `docs/memory/performance-review.md` — flag new vulnerabilities since last audit.

## Step 2: Outdated Dependencies

```bash
pnpm outdated --format json 2>/dev/null || pnpm outdated
# or: npm outdated --json
# or: yarn outdated
```

Classify into **major behind** (2+ majors, highest risk), **minor behind** (moderate), **patch behind** (low). Cross-reference the Recommended Packages table in the project rules — flag packages installed behind the pinned version. Report the top 10 most outdated by semver distance.

## Step 3: License Compliance

```bash
pnpm licenses list --json 2>/dev/null || pnpm licenses list
# npm: npx license-checker --json
```

Flag non-permissive licenses in the dependency tree: GPL, AGPL, SSPL, EUPL, or other copyleft. For each: package name, license type, direct or transitive.

## Step 4: Abandoned Packages

For each direct dependency, check npm registry metadata:

```bash
npm view {package} time --json 2>/dev/null
```

Flag packages with no publish in 18+ months. Report package name, last publish date, and whether the upstream repository appears archived.

## Step 5: Unwanted Transitive Dependencies

Check the dependency tree for known-bloat packages:

- `moment` (use date-fns instead)
- `lodash` (use subpath imports)
- `underscore`
- `request` (deprecated)
- `node-fetch` (when runtime has native fetch)

For each found:

```bash
pnpm why {package}
# or: npm ls {package}
```

Report which direct dependency pulls it in and the installed size. **Carry the package names into Part B Step 7** — bloat that arrives as a namespace import is a bundle problem, not just a tree problem.

## Step 6: Dependency Size Impact

```bash
du -sh node_modules/.pnpm/*/ 2>/dev/null | sort -rh | head -15
# or for npm: du -sh node_modules/*/ | sort -rh | head -15
```

List the 15 largest packages by installed size. Flag any single package over 10 MB. Compare against the previous snapshot.

# Part B — Code Health

## Step 7: Bundle Size Analysis

1. Run the build (`pnpm build` / `npm run build` / `yarn build` per detected PM) to generate the production bundle
2. Parse build output for chunk sizes (raw and gzip)
3. Identify the top 10 largest chunks by raw size
4. Compare against known baselines in `docs/memory/performance-review.md`
5. Flag any chunk that grew >50 KB since last review

### Common bundle-bloat patterns

Search for anti-patterns that defeat tree-shaking:

- `import * as` namespace imports from large libraries (lucide-react, lodash, etc.)
- Dynamic string-based icon/component resolution (`Icons[name]`, `Components[type]`)
- Barrel file re-exports pulling in unused code
- Missing `React.lazy()` for heavy components (Monaco, Uppy, D3, Plotly, Mermaid)
- Full library imports where subpath imports exist (`import _ from 'lodash'` vs `import get from 'lodash/get'`)

```bash
# Find namespace imports from large libraries
grep -rn "import \* as" src/ --include="*.jsx" --include="*.tsx" --include="*.js" --include="*.ts"

# Find dynamic component/icon resolution
grep -rn "Icons\[" src/ --include="*.jsx" --include="*.tsx"
```

## Step 8: Performance Anti-Patterns

Scan for React performance issues:

### Missing memoization

- Components rendering large lists without `React.memo`
- Expensive computations without `useMemo`
- Callback props without `useCallback` causing child re-renders
- Focus on components in tables, lists, grids, repeated rows

### Request waterfalls

- Sequential `await` calls that could be `Promise.all`
- `useEffect` chains where one fetch triggers another
- Component trees where parent fetches block child renders

### Missing virtualization

- Lists rendering >50 items without react-window or similar
- Tables with unbounded row counts
- Grids without lazy loading

## Step 9: Import Health

1. Check for circular dependencies using import chains
2. Identify unused exports (files exporting functions not imported elsewhere)

## Step 10: Code-Quality Flags

- `dangerouslySetInnerHTML` usage without sanitization context
- `// TODO` and `// FIXME` comments older than 30 days
- `console.log` / `console.warn` / `console.error` left in production code
- Hardcoded API URLs, credentials, or environment-specific values
- Missing error boundaries around async components

```bash
grep -rn "console\.\(log\|warn\|error\)" src/ --include="*.jsx" --include="*.tsx" --include="*.js" --include="*.ts" | grep -v "// eslint"
grep -rn "TODO\|FIXME\|HACK\|XXX" src/ --include="*.jsx" --include="*.tsx" --include="*.js" --include="*.ts"
```

## Step 11: Report & Track

### Report format

**Dependencies**

- **Vulnerabilities**: critical/high CVEs, new since last audit
- **Outdated**: top outdated packages by semver distance
- **Licenses**: non-permissive license flags
- **Abandoned**: packages with no recent publishes
- **Transitive bloat**: unwanted packages pulled in transitively
- **Dependency size**: largest installed packages

**Code**

- **Bundle size**: total vendor size, top offenders, growth since last review
- **Tree-shaking issues**: namespace imports, barrel-file problems, cross-referenced with the heavy/bloat packages from Part A
- **Performance**: missing memoization, request waterfalls, missing virtualization
- **Code quality**: console statements, TODOs, hardcoded values

**Recommendations**: a single prioritized list spanning both fronts, with estimated impact. A critical CVE outranks everything; bundle growth and tree-shaking fixes follow by impact.

### Update tracking

1. Write a snapshot to `docs/memory/performance-review.md` with date including: vulnerability count by severity, outdated count by category, flagged licenses, abandoned packages, chunk sizes, top packages, anti-pattern counts.
2. Append new items to `docs/history/backlog.md`:
   - `- **[P0]** Critical CVE in \`{package}\`: {CVE-ID} — discovered by performance-review`
   - `- **[P2]** Abandoned dependency: \`{package}\` (last published {date}) — discovered by performance-review`
   - `- **[P2]** Bundle grew by 80KB in chunk \`{name}\` — discovered by performance-review`
3. Report summary to the user

## Rules

- Read-only for source code — **never modify `src/` files**
- **Never run `npm install`, `pnpm install`, `yarn install`**, or any command that modifies dependencies
- May write to `docs/memory/performance-review.md` and `docs/history/backlog.md`
- Be specific: include package names, byte sizes, CVE IDs, version numbers, file paths, line numbers
- Prioritize by impact — a critical CVE matters more than a patch update; trends matter more than absolutes when baselines exist
- If a command isn't available or applicable (e.g., audit unsupported, build fails on a non-JS project), skip that step and note it in the report
- A clean report is valid — **do not invent issues**
