Node Memory Leak Hunting

Agent skill
1 skill

Use when a Node.js process is growing memory unbounded in production, hits OOM, restarts on schedule, or shows monotonic RSS in Grafana. Triggers: heap snapshot diff (Comparison mode in Chrome DevTools), v8.writeHeapSnapshot, --heapsnapshot-signal=SIGUSR2, clinic doctor / clinic heap, Allocation sampling vs Allocation instrumentation timeline, --max-old-space-size, retainers / dominators, EventEmitter listener leak, closures over big objects, Buffer.allocUnsafe, intern caches that never evict. NOT for CPU profiling (use clinic doctor for the smoke signal then a CPU-specific skill), Go pprof, browser-side memory leaks, or workerthreads-only debugging.

Install with

Supported by the Atlas install prompt. Skill-specific requirements vary.
