What Performance Optimizer by ruvnet is

Performance Optimizer by ruvnet is a subagent published in the ruvnet/agentic-flow repository on GitHub, which has about 813 stars. The repository describes itself as: “Easily switch between alternative low-cost AI models in Claude Code/Agent SDK. For those comfortable using Claude agents and commands, it lets you take what you've created and deploy fully hosted agents for real business purposes. Use Claude Code to get the agent working, then deploy it in your favorite cloud.”

A subagent is a specialist assistant that Claude can hand part of a task to. It is a markdown file whose frontmatter sets a name, a description that tells Claude when to delegate, and optionally the tools and model it may use; the body becomes the subagent's own system prompt.

Because a subagent works in its own context, it keeps the main conversation focused: Claude can send a narrow job, such as a review or a specialised analysis, to Performance Optimizer and get back a compact result.

How to install Performance Optimizer by ruvnet

Claude Code

Download performance-optimizer.md from the repository.
Save it to ~/.claude/agents/ to use it in every project, or to .claude/agents/ inside one project to share it through version control.
Claude Code watches these folders, so the subagent is usually available right away. Ask Claude to use it by name, or @-mention it to make sure it runs.

Claude Cowork

Cowork loads subagents through plugins. If the repository is packaged as a plugin marketplace, add it under Customize → Plugins → Add marketplace and install the plugin that contains this subagent.
Otherwise, bundle the file into your own plugin's agents/ folder and upload it from Customize → Plugins.

Before you install

Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
