What it does

This skill guides an agent through systematic analysis of Tideways APM data: detect high-impact transactions, analyze traces and slow SQLs, correlate with deploys, and produce prioritized root-cause findings with confidence and concrete remediation steps. It emphasizes evidence-backed recommendations and reproducible local verification steps.

When to use it

Use when the user explicitly references Tideways or provides Tideways traces/URLs. Do NOT trigger for generic performance questions unless Tideways is mentioned. Typical prompts: "tideways", "analyze tideways", "why is X slow in tideways".

What's included

Scripts: none bundled (has_scripts=false)
References: the skill expects several reference docs (navigation-map, bottleneck-detection, root-cause-analysis) described in the skill body but not packaged under has_references flag.
Instructions: detailed methodology for situational awareness, slow SQL analysis, deep trace dives, deploy correlation, and report output standards.

Compatible agents

Primarily written for agents with browser/playwright automation support (requires playwright-cli) and codebase access for local EXPLAIN/SQL checks.

Audit Summary

Well-crafted skill for analyzing Tideways APM traces to diagnose PHP performance issues. No bundled scripts — all guidance is in SKILL.md with references to external reference files. The documentation is thorough: structured analysis methodology in 6 phases, clear output standards, safety awareness (sampling, confidence calibration), and Magento 2 framework detection. Requires Tideways account, playwright-cli skill, and a synced local environment, making setup non-trivial.

Watch Out

Requires playwright-cli skill as a prerequisite for browser automation
Needs local codebase on same commit as production and synced database for full functionality
Auth state stored in tideways-auth.json file — not a security risk but worth noting

Notes

No scripts to audit. SKILL.md is comprehensive and well-structured. The login section uses placeholder credentials which is good practice. No security concerns at all — purely analytical/investigative skill with no destructive capabilities. Niche but valuable for its target audience.
