How does this skill detect memory leaks?

It analyzes your source code for known problematic patterns such as unremoved event listeners, uncancelled setInterval calls, and closures that inadvertently hold onto large objects.

Can it find memory leaks in both frontend and backend code?

Yes, it is designed to detect patterns common in both client-side JavaScript (like detached DOM nodes) and server-side environments (like unbounded caches or global state).

Does it suggest actual code fixes?

Yes, once a potential leak is identified, the skill provides specific recommendations and code snippets to resolve the issue and ensure proper resource disposal.

When should I run this skill?

It is best used during code reviews, when debugging performance issues, or as a preventative measure before deploying major updates to production.
