Can I use this for performance optimization?

Yes, the skill applies optimization theory and scalability analysis to identify systemic bottlenecks and improve throughput or resource efficiency.

How does this skill help with system design?

It evaluates architectural trade-offs, identifies potential failure modes through FMEA, and assesses technical feasibility against specific resource and physical constraints.

What is the Engineering Analyst skill for Claude Code?

It is a specialized capability that allows Claude to analyze technical systems using rigorous engineering frameworks like first principles, systems thinking, and optimization theory.

When should I activate the engineer-analyst skill?

Use it during high-level architecture planning, when diagnosing recurring system failures, or when you need a rigorous assessment of technical requirements and constraints.
