When should I trigger this skill?

Use it whenever you notice a performance slowdown, before shipping a production release, or when specifically testing resource-intensive features.

How does the skill detect memory leaks?

It scans your codebase for known patterns such as forgotten event listeners, open timers, and circular references that hinder garbage collection.

Can it fix the memory leaks automatically?

It identifies the specific code blocks causing issues and provides detailed recommendations on how to implement proper memory management fixes.

Is this skill useful for large-scale applications?

Yes, it is specifically designed to handle complex logic where unbounded cache growth and global state accumulation often lead to performance degradation.
