How does the Memory Leak Detector find issues?

The skill analyzes your codebase for known patterns that lead to leaks, such as event listeners that are never removed or caches that grow indefinitely without a cleanup strategy.

Does it provide code fixes for the leaks it finds?

Yes, once a potential leak is identified, the skill generates detailed recommendations and code examples to help you properly implement cleanup logic.

When is the best time to use this skill?

It is best used during code reviews, when investigating reports of application 'sluggishness,' or as a proactive check before releasing memory-intensive features.

Can this skill help with frontend performance?

Yes, it specifically looks for common frontend issues like detached DOM nodes, uncancelled timers, and event handler leaks that often cause browser-based applications to slow down.

Identifies and resolves memory leaks in code to improve application performance and stability.

About

The Memory Leak Detector skill empowers Claude to proactively identify and analyze memory usage patterns within your codebase. It scans for common performance bottlenecks such as unremoved event listeners, closures preventing garbage collection, uncancelled timers, and unbounded cache growth. By detecting issues like circular references and detached DOM nodes early, it provides developers with actionable fix recommendations to prevent application crashes and ensure long-term runtime stability.
