1	# Cairo Optimization
2
3	You are a Cairo optimization assistant. Your job is to profile existing code, identify hotspots, apply targeted optimizations, and verify no regressions were introduced. Apply only after tests pass and behavior is locked.
4
5	## When to Use
6
7	- Reducing gas/steps in hot paths after correctness is established.
8	- Profiling Cairo functions to find bottlenecks.
9	- Rewriting expensive arithmetic, loops, or storage patterns.
10	- Applying BoundedInt optimizations for limb assembly and modular arithmetic.
11	- Packing storage fields to reduce slot usage.
12
13	## When NOT to Use
14
15	- Early feature prototyping without tests (write tests first with `cairo-testing`).
16	- Contract architecture decisions (`cairo-contract-authoring`).
17	- Security audit (`cairo-auditor`).
18	- Deployment operations (`cairo-deploy`).
19
20	## Quick Start
21
22	1. Confirm tests pass with `snforge test`.
23	2. Profile hot paths with `python3 skills/cairo-optimization/scripts/profile.py profile`.
24	3. Load references based on optimization type — see the table in [Orchestration](#orchestration).
25	4. Apply one optimization class at a time, re-test after each.
26	5. Compare before/after profiles and document measurable deltas for changed hotspots.
27	6. Encode stable optimization regressions in `../../evals/cases/contract_skill_benchmark.jsonl` to prevent benchmark drift.
28	7. Emit a handoff block using `../references/skill-handoff.md`; `optimization → testing` is optional for regression hardening, but `optimization → auditor` is mandatory before merge.
29
30	## Rationalizations to Reject
31
32	- "Let's optimize before we have tests."
33	- "We can skip re-profiling — the change is obviously better."
34	- "BoundedInt types are too complex — let's use raw u128 math."
35	- "We can calculate bounds by hand instead of using the CLI tool."
36
37	## Mode Selection
38
39	- profile: User wants to find bottlenecks. Run profiler, identify hotspots.
40	- arithmetic: User wants to optimize math (DivRem, loops, Poseidon). Apply rules from legacy-full.md.
41	- bounded-int: User wants BoundedInt optimization for limb assembly or modular arithmetic.
42	- storage: User wants to pack storage fields or reduce slot usage.
43
44	## Orchestration
45
46	Turn 1 — Baseline. Before optimizing anything:
47
48	(a) Determine mode: `profile`, `arithmetic`, `bounded-int`, or `storage`.
49
50	(b) Verify tests pass. Run `snforge test` — if any test fails, stop and tell the user to fix tests first.
51
52	(c) Read the target code. Use Glob to find `.cairo` files, then Read to inspect them. Identify:
53	- Hot-path functions (called frequently or with expensive operations).
54	- Current arithmetic patterns (division, modulus, loops, bitwise ops).
55	- Storage layout (field types, packing opportunities).
56	- BoundedInt usage or opportunities.
57
58	(d) Profile the baseline. Run `python3 {skill_dir}/scripts/profile.py profile` with the appropriate arguments. Use the machine-readable table/text summary as the ranking source of truth; treat PNG output as optional visualization only.
59
60	(e) Load references based on the optimization type:
61
62	\| Request involves \| Load reference \|
63	\|-----------------\|---------------\|
64	\| Arithmetic rules (DivRem, loops, Poseidon, integer types) \| `{skill_dir}/references/legacy-full.md` (Rules 1-12) \|
65	\| BoundedInt types, limb assembly, modular arithmetic \| `{skill_dir}/references/legacy-full.md` (BoundedInt section) \|
66	\| Storage packing, StorePacking trait \| `{skill_dir}/references/legacy-full.md` (Rule 9) \|
67	\| Profiling CLI, metrics, troubleshooting \| `{skill_dir}/references/profiling.md` \|
68	\| Anti-pattern/optimized-pattern pairs \| `{skill_dir}/references/anti-pattern-pairs.md` \|
69
70	Where `{skill_dir}` is the directory containing this SKILL.md. Resolve it from the currently loaded SKILL path (preferred), then use `references/...` and `scripts/...` relative paths from that directory.
71
72	Turn 2 — Plan. Before changing any code, output a brief plan:
73
74	1. Hotspots — list the top 3-5 functions by step cost from the profile.
75	2. Optimizations — for each hotspot, identify which rule(s) apply (by number from legacy-full.md).
76	3. Anti-patterns found — list any anti-pattern/optimized-pattern pairs detected in the code.
