161-java-profiling-detect

A workflow for profiling Java applications, which means measuring where they spend time and resources while running. It collects data about CPU use, memory, threads, garbage collection, and input/output.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up async-profiler, run profiling scripts, collect flame graphs or Java Flight Recorder files, and investigate Java performance problems.
Why use it?
It helps replace guesses about slow Java software with measurements that show likely bottlenecks, such as code hotspots, memory leaks, blocked threads, or excessive garbage collection.

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

161-java-profiling-detect 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 yesterday.

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

Java Profiling Workflow / Step 1 / Collect data to measure potential issues

Set up the Java profiling detection phase: automated environment setup with async-profiler v4.0, problem-driven interactive profiling scripts, and comprehensive data collection for CPU hotspots, memory leaks, lock contention, GC issues, and I/O bottlenecks. Uses JEP 518 (Cooperative Sampling) and JEP 520 (Method Timing) for reduced overhead.

What is covered in this Skill?

  • Run application with profiling JVM flags (run-java-process-for-profiling.sh)
  • Interactive profiling script (profiler/scripts/profile-java-process.sh) — copy exact template
  • Directory structure: profiler/scripts/, profiler/results/, profiler/current/
  • Automated OS/architecture detection and async-profiler download
  • CPU, memory, lock, GC, I/O profiling modes
  • Flamegraph and JFR output with timestamped results

Scope: Use the exact bash script templates without modification or interpretation.

Constraints

Copy bash scripts exactly from templates. Ensure JVM flags are applied for profiling compatibility. Verify Java processes are running before attaching profiler.

  • CRITICAL: Copy the bash script templates exactly — do not modify, interpret, or enhance
  • SETUP: Create profiler directory structure: profiler/scripts, profiler/results
  • EXECUTABLE: Make scripts executable with chmod +x
  • BEFORE APPLYING: Read the reference for exact script templates and setup instructions

When to use this skill

  • Review Java code for profiling
  • Add profiling support

What ships with it

1 file 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.
