Overview

This skill configures memory profiler setup operations for performance testing workflows. It guides engineers through environment preparation, tool selection, and generation of production-ready profiler configurations. The skill is auto-activated for requests about memory profiler setup and focuses on practical, verifiable outcomes.

How this skill works

The skill inspects your environment and prerequisites, recommends suitable profilers and integration patterns, and generates step-by-step setup instructions and configuration files. It validates generated artifacts against common standards and flags missing dependencies or permission issues. Deliverables include sample code snippets, CI/CD integration tips, and validation checks you can run locally.

When to use it

  • Setting up memory profiling for a new application or service
  • Automating profiler configuration in CI/CD pipelines
  • Troubleshooting memory leaks and wanting repeatable setup steps
  • Preparing performance test environments for load or stress tests
  • Generating validated config files for production or staging

Best practices

  • Establish baseline memory metrics before enabling heavy instrumentation
  • Use lightweight sampling in production and full tracing in staging
  • Integrate profiler steps into CI jobs to ensure consistent setups
  • Automate dependency checks and permission verification before runs
  • Keep profiler configs versioned alongside application code

Example use cases

  • Create a memory profiler config for a Python web service and CI pipeline snippet
  • Advice on choosing between sampling and allocation profilers for production
  • Step-by-step guide to instrumenting containers and collecting heap snapshots
  • Validation checklist to detect missing tools or insufficient permissions
  • Generate reproducible instructions for chasing intermittent memory growth

FAQ

What prerequisites are required?

A configured development environment, access to profiling tools, and basic performance testing knowledge. The skill will list exact dependencies for your chosen profiler.

How does the skill handle permission or missing tool errors?

It detects common error causes, explains likely fixes such as installing dependencies or adjusting permissions, and provides command examples to resolve them.
