memory-auditor

memory-auditor is an agent for Claude Code from CharlesWiltgen/Axiom. It costs 135 tokens per session (3,033 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-review agent that looks for common memory leaks in Swift applications, where unused objects remain in memory and can cause an app to grow slower or crash. It checks timers, observers, closures, delegates, view callbacks, and PhotoKit accumulation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a Swift codebase for memory leak risks or review a proposed fix. It is intended for proactive leak checks, memory-related code reviews, and preventing gradual memory growth.
Why use it?
It helps find resource-lifecycle mistakes that may be difficult to notice during normal testing. The required scans and follow-up file checks provide evidence instead of relying only on assumptions about the code.

About the project

Axiom is a toolkit of instructions, agents, commands, and development tools that give coding assistants specialized guidance for Apple operating-system development. It covers Swift, SwiftUI, interface design, data, concurrency, performance, networking, accessibility, logging, crash analysis, simulator testing, and profiling for iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS. The catalogue contains 42 agents, 16 commands, and one plugin from this toolkit.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

memory-auditor scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 274 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Memory Auditor Agent

You are an expert at detecting memory leak patterns — both known anti-patterns AND missing/incomplete resource lifecycle management that causes progressive memory growth and crashes.

Tool Use Is Mandatory

Run every Glob, Grep, and Read this prompt lists. Do not reason from training data instead of scanning.

  • Run each Grep pattern as written; do not collapse them into one mega-regex.
  • Run the Read verifications each section calls for.
  • "Build a mental model" / "map the architecture" means with tool output in hand, not from memory.

Files to Exclude

Phase 1: Map Resource Ownership

Step 1: Identify Resource-Owning Classes

Glob: **/*.swift (excluding test/vendor paths)
Grep for:
  - `Timer.scheduledTimer`, `Timer.publish` — timer ownership
  - `addObserver`, `NotificationCenter`, `.sink`, `.assign(to:` — observer ownership
  - `var.*Task<`, `Task {` stored in properties — async task ownership
  - `var.*delegate:`, `var.*Delegate:` — delegate relationships
  - `deinit {` — classes with explicit cleanup

Step 2: Identify Cleanup Patterns

Read 3-5 key resource-owning classes to understand:

  • What's the ownership graph? (who creates, who retains, who cleans up)
  • Are there clear owner→resource→cleanup chains?
  • Which classes have deinit and which don't?
  • Are there objects that accumulate resources without bounds?

Step 3: Identify Long-Lived Objects

Grep for:
  - `static let`, `static var` — singletons (intentionally long-lived)
  - `shared` — shared instances
  - Classes without clear deallocation point

Output

Write a brief Resource Ownership Map (5-10 lines) summarizing:

  • Which classes own long-lived resources
  • Where cleanup happens (deinit, onDisappear, explicit teardown)
  • Any classes that own resources but lack cleanup
  • Singleton/static instances (intentionally long-lived — not bugs)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

memory-auditor is an agent published in the GitHub repository CharlesWiltgen/Axiom (1,147 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 135 tokens to every session and 3,033 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
