axiom-hang-diagnostics

axiom-hang-diagnostics is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ComeOnOliver/skillshub. It costs 34 tokens per session (3,502 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A diagnostic guide for app hangs, where the main thread is blocked long enough for the interface to stop responding. It covers freezes, watchdog terminations, and hang reports from Apple diagnostic tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate frozen screens, unresponsive taps, app-not-responding reports, or hang data collected in production.
Why use it?
It helps identify work that blocks user input and separates true hangs from general slowness, animation stutter, or lag.

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

axiom-hang-diagnostics 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 9d 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.

Hang Diagnostics

Systematic diagnosis and resolution of app hangs. A hang occurs when the main thread is blocked for more than 1 second, making the app unresponsive to user input.

Red Flags — Check This Skill When

Symptom This Skill Applies
App freezes briefly during use Yes — likely hang
UI doesn't respond to touches Yes — main thread blocked
"App not responding" system dialog Yes — severe hang
Xcode Organizer shows hang diagnostics Yes — field hang reports
MetricKit MXHangDiagnostic received Yes — aggregated hang data
Animations stutter or skip Maybe — could be hitch, not hang
App feels slow but responsive No — performance issue, not hang

What Is a Hang

A hang is when the main runloop cannot process events for more than 1 second. The user taps, but nothing happens.

User taps → Main thread busy/blocked → Event queued → 1+ second delay → HANG

Key distinction: The main thread handles ALL user input. If it's busy or blocked, the entire UI freezes.

Hang vs Hitch vs Lag

Issue Duration User Experience Tool
Hang >1 second App frozen, unresponsive Time Profiler, System Trace
Hitch 1-3 frames (16-50ms) Animation stutters Animation Hitches instrument
Lag 100-500ms Feels slow but responsive Time Profiler

This skill covers hangs. For hitches, see axiom-swiftui-performance. For general lag, see axiom-performance-profiling.

The Two Causes of Hangs

Every hang has one of two root causes:

1. Main Thread Busy

The main thread is doing work instead of processing events.

Subcategories:

Type Example Fix
Proactive work Pre-computing data user hasn't requested Lazy initialization, compute on demand
Irrelevant work Processing all notifications, not just relevant ones Filter notifications, targeted observers
Suboptimal API Using blocking API when async exists Switch to async API

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.
