description: Configures and builds YARS with optimizations for performance testing and benchmarking version: 1.0.0 allowed-tools: [Bash]

Release Build

This skill creates an optimized release build of YARS for performance testing and benchmarking.

Usage

Automatically invoked when:

• User asks for a release or optimized build
• Running performance benchmarks
• Preparing for final validation tests
• Need maximum simulation speed

Steps

# Navigate to build directory
cd build

# Configure for release mode
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..

# Build with parallel jobs
make -j4

Success Criteria

• ✅ CMake configures with Release build type
• ✅ Compilation includes optimizations (-O3 or similar)
• ✅ Debug symbols stripped or minimal
• ✅ Binary ready for performance testing

Notes

• Release builds are faster but harder to debug
• Full compiler optimizations enabled
• Use this for performance benchmarks and production use
• To switch back to debug, use the debug-build skill
• Default build type if not specified
