pyroscope

pyroscope is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from julianobarbosa/claude-code-skills. It costs 44 tokens per session (3,027 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to Grafana Pyroscope, a system that continuously records which parts of an application use time and resources. It covers deployment, storage, several programming languages, and linking profiles with traces.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to deploy Pyroscope on Kubernetes, profile applications, configure storage, connect profiles to traces, and troubleshoot the setup.
Why use it?
It helps locate performance problems at the code level and relate them to other operational data such as metrics, logs, and traces.

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

pyroscope scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

Grafana Pyroscope Skill

Comprehensive guide for Grafana Pyroscope - the open-source continuous profiling platform for analyzing application performance at the code level.

What is Pyroscope?

Pyroscope is a horizontally-scalable, highly-available, multi-tenant continuous profiling system that:

  • Collects profiling data continuously with minimal overhead (~2-5% CPU)
  • Provides code-level visibility with source-line granularity
  • Stores compressed profiles in object storage (S3, GCS, Azure Blob)
  • Integrates with Grafana for correlating profiles with metrics, logs, and traces
  • Supports multiple languages - Go, Java, Python, .NET, Ruby, Node.js, Rust

Architecture Overview

Core Components

Component Purpose
Distributor Validates and routes incoming profiles to ingesters
Ingester Buffers profiles in memory, compresses and writes to storage
Querier Retrieves and processes profile data for analysis
Query Frontend Handles query requests, caching, and scheduling
Query Scheduler Manages per-tenant query queues
Store Gateway Provides access to long-term profile storage
Compactor Merges blocks, manages retention, handles deletion

Deployment Modes

1. Monolithic Mode (-target=all)

  • All components in single process
  • Best for: Development, small-scale deployments
  • Query URL: http://pyroscope:4040/

2. Microservices Mode (Production)

  • Each component runs independently
  • Horizontally scalable
  • Query URL: http://pyroscope-querier:4040/

What ships with it

4 files 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.

pyroscope is a skill published in the GitHub repository julianobarbosa/claude-code-skills (10 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 3,027 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
