memory-leak

memory-leak is a skill for Claude Code from berkcangumusisik/claude-code-practices. It costs 21 tokens per session (320 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code analysis guide for finding memory leaks, where unused resources keep occupying memory over time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a target directory, explain what each leak retains, rate its severity, and suggest the required cleanup.
Why use it?
It helps locate listeners, timers, caches, database connections, and file connections that are not cleaned up and can gradually slow or crash an application.

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-leak 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 7d 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.

What it actually says

Memory Leak Analysis

Target: $1 (or src/ if not specified)

Pattern 1: Event Listeners Without Cleanup

// ❌ Listener added but never removed
useEffect(() => {
  window.addEventListener('resize', handler)
}, []) // Missing: return () => window.removeEventListener('resize', handler)

Pattern 2: Timers Not Cleared

// ❌ Interval runs forever
setInterval(syncData, 5000)

// ✅ Store ref and clear on unmount
const id = setInterval(syncData, 5000)
return () => clearInterval(id)

Pattern 3: Unbounded Caches

// ❌ Cache grows indefinitely
const cache = new Map()
cache.set(key, value) // never evicted

Pattern 4: Unclosed DB/File Connections

Look for db.connect() without corresponding db.close() in error paths.


For each finding:

  1. Show the leaking code
  2. Explain what accumulates and why it matters
  3. Provide the fix

Rate by severity: Critical (crashes in production under load) / Warning (gradual degradation) / Minor (theoretical).

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.
