164-java-profiling-verify

A checklist for checking Java performance changes by comparing profiling results from before and after a refactor. Profiling measures where a program uses CPU, memory, garbage collection, and threads.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating baseline and post-change profiles, comparing resource-use measurements, reviewing flame graphs, checking for regressions, and documenting the results.
Why use it?
It helps show whether an optimization improved performance and catches regressions by requiring matching test conditions and direct report comparisons.

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

164-java-profiling-verify 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 2d 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

Java Profiling Workflow / Step 4 / Verify results

Verify performance optimizations through rigorous before/after comparison: ensure baseline and post-refactoring profiling data use identical test conditions, generate post-refactoring reports, compare metrics (memory, CPU, GC, threading), perform side-by-side flamegraph analysis, document findings in profiling-comparison-analysis-YYYYMMDD.md and profiling-final-results-YYYYMMDD.md, and validate success criteria.

What is covered in this Skill?

  • Pre-refactoring baseline: run profiler with same load before changes
  • Post-refactoring: generate new reports with identical test conditions
  • Comparison: memory (leaks, allocations, GC), CPU (hotspots, contention), visual flamegraph comparison
  • Documentation: profiler/docs/profiling-comparison-analysis-YYYYMMDD.md, profiler/docs/profiling-final-results-YYYYMMDD.md
  • File naming: baseline/after suffixes, timestamp-based organization
  • Validation: verify reports exist, compare metrics, identify regressions

Scope: Identical test conditions are critical. Document test scenarios. Validate application runs with refactored code before generating new reports.

Constraints

Use identical test conditions between baseline and post-refactoring. Verify both report sets are complete. Document test scenarios.

  • CONSISTENCY: Use identical test conditions and load patterns for baseline and post-refactoring
  • VALIDATE: Ensure both baseline and post-refactoring reports exist and are non-empty before comparison
  • DOCUMENT: Record test scenarios and load patterns for reproduction
  • BEFORE APPLYING: Read the reference for comparison templates and validation steps

When to use this skill

  • Verify performance fix
  • Performance benchmark

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.
