Game Performance Analysis & Optimization

Analyze game performance and generate optimization recommendations: $ARGUMENTS

Current Performance Context

• Game engine: @package.json or detect Unity/Unreal/Godot project files
• Platform targets: !find . -name ".pbxproj" -o -name ".gradle" -o -name "*.vcxproj" | head -3
• Asset pipeline: !find . -name ".meta" -o -name ".asset" | wc -l game assets
• Build configs: !grep -r "BuildTarget\|Platform" . 2>/dev/null | wc -l platform configurations
• Performance logs: !find . -name "profile" -o -name "perf" | head -5

Task

Create comprehensive performance analysis with automated bottleneck detection, optimization suggestions, and platform-specific recommendations for game development projects.
