Performance Goal Workflow

Use this skill when a user asks OMX to optimize performance and wants a goal-oriented loop rather than a one-off review.

Contract

• OMX owns durable workflow state under .omx/goals/performance/<slug>/.
• Codex goal mode owns only the active-thread focus/accounting primitive.
• Shell commands do not mutate hidden Codex goal state. They write artifacts and emit model-facing handoff text.
• No optimization work may start until an evaluator command and pass/fail contract exist.
• Do not call update_goal({status: "complete"}) until the evaluator has a passing checkpoint and a completion audit proves the objective is done; then call get_goal again and pass that fresh snapshot to omx performance-goal complete --codex-goal-json.

CLI

Create the workflow and evaluator contract:

omx performance-goal create \
  --objective "Reduce CLI startup latency by 20%" \
  --evaluator-command "npm run perf:startup" \
  --evaluator-contract "PASS when p95 latency improves by 20% and regression tests pass" \
  --slug startup-latency

Emit the Codex goal handoff:

omx performance-goal start --slug startup-latency

Record evaluator evidence:

omx performance-goal checkpoint --slug startup-latency --status pass --evidence "benchmark + tests passed"
omx performance-goal checkpoint --slug startup-latency --status fail --evidence "benchmark regressed"
omx performance-goal checkpoint --slug startup-latency --status blocked --evidence "missing fixture"

Complete only after a passing checkpoint:

omx performance-goal complete --slug startup-latency --evidence "final evaluator evidence" --codex-goal-json <get_goal-json-or-path>
