161-java-profiling-detect

161-java-profiling-detect is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jabrena/plinth. It costs 131 tokens per session (770 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A Java profiling setup for collecting evidence about CPU, memory, threading, garbage collection, and input/output performance. Profiling measures what an application is doing while it runs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run async-profiler and Java Flight Recorder sessions, generate flamegraphs, and collect timestamped profiling results.
Why use it?
It helps reveal where time or memory is being spent before anyone changes the code.

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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/profile-java-process.sh, scripts/run-java-process-for-profiling.sh), 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.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

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

Set up the Java profiling detection phase using a trusted preinstalled async-profiler v4.x, 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 trusted preinstalled async-profiler validation
  • 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
  • SUPPLY CHAIN: Do not download profiler binaries at runtime; require ASYNC_PROFILER_HOME or profiler/current to point to a trusted, preinstalled async-profiler distribution
  • EXECUTABLE: Make scripts executable with chmod +x
  • BEFORE APPLYING: Read the reference for exact script templates and setup instructions
  • EDGE CASE: If request scope is ambiguous, stop and ask a clarifying question before applying changes
  • EDGE CASE: If required inputs, files, or tooling are missing, report what is missing and ask whether to proceed with setup guidance

When to use this skill

  • Improve the code with profiling
  • Apply Profiling
  • Refactor the code with profiling
  • Add profiling support
  • Collect JFR or async-profiler data for Java performance

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.
