interval-profiling-performance-analyzer

interval-profiling-performance-analyzer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE. It costs 116 tokens per session (1,480 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A profiling tool that measures how much time, memory, and call activity different functions or methods use. Profiling means observing a running program to find where its resources go.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect Python, Java, or C/C++ programs, find performance bottlenecks, and guide optimisation work.
Why use it?
It replaces guesswork with measurements that show which parts of a program are slowing it down or using too much memory.

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 B, and why

interval-profiling-performance-analyzer scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/generate_visualization.py, scripts/profile_cpp.py, scripts/profile_java.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Interval Profiling & Performance Analyzer

Profile programs to identify performance bottlenecks and generate optimization recommendations with visualizations.

Workflow

1. Understand Requirements

Clarify the profiling task:

  • Target program: Which file/executable to profile?
  • Language: Python, Java, or C/C++?
  • Test scenarios: What workload or test cases to run?
  • Focus area: CPU time, memory usage, or both?

2. Select Profiling Tool

Choose based on language and environment:

Python:

  • Use scripts/profile_python.py (cProfile + tracemalloc)
  • Captures function-level timing and memory usage
  • No code modification required

Java:

  • Use scripts/profile_java.py (Java Flight Recorder)
  • Requires JDK 11+ with JFR support
  • Low overhead, production-safe

C/C++:

  • Use scripts/profile_cpp.py (perf or gprof)
  • perf: Linux only, no recompilation needed
  • gprof: Cross-platform, requires -pg compilation flag

For detailed tool information, see references/profiling-tools.md.

3. Run Profiling

Execute the appropriate profiling script:

Python example:

python scripts/profile_python.py target_script.py

Java example:

python scripts/profile_java.py MainClass ./bin 30
# Arguments: MainClass, classpath, duration_seconds

C/C++ example:

python scripts/profile_cpp.py ./program --tool perf
# Or use gprof (requires compilation with -pg):
python scripts/profile_cpp.py ./program --tool gprof

All scripts generate profile_results.json containing:

  • intervals: All profiled functions with metrics
  • hotspots: Functions exceeding 5% of execution time
  • recommendations: Actionable optimization suggestions
  • summary: Overall statistics

4. Generate Visualizations

Create interactive HTML report and flame graph data:

python scripts/generate_visualization.py profile_results.json profile_report.html

Outputs:

  • profile_report.html: Interactive report with charts and recommendations
  • flamegraph.txt: Data for flame graph generation (use flamegraph.pl if available)

7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
