Detect memory leaks in desktop applications through heap analysis and object tracking
npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill memory-leak-detector --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# memory-leak-detector Detect memory leaks in desktop applications through heap snapshot analysis, object tracking, and growth pattern detection. ## Capabilities - Capture and compare heap snapshots - Track object allocation growth - Identify retained objects - Detect common leak patterns - Generate leak reports - Suggest fixes ## Input Schema ```json { "type": "object", "properties": { "projectPath": { "type": "string" }, "framework": { "enum": ["electron", "native", "qt"] }, "duration": { "type": "number", "default": 60 } }, "required": ["projectPath"] } ``` ## Detection Approach ```javascript // Heap snapshot comparison const v8 = require('v8'); function detectLeaks(iterations = 3, intervalMs = 10000) { const snapshots = []; const interval = setInterval(() => { global.gc(); // Requires --expose-gc const snapshot = v8.getHeapStatistics(); snapshots.push(snapshot); if (snapshots.length >= iterations) { clearInterval(interval); analyzeGrowth(snapshots); } }, intervalMs); } function analyzeGrowth(snapshots) { const growth = snapshots[snapshots.length - 1].used_heap_size - snapshots[0].used_heap_size; console.log(`Heap growth: ${growth / 1024 / 1024} MB`); } ``` ## Common Leak Patter

What does the memory-leak-detector skill do?
Detect memory leaks in desktop applications through heap analysis and object tracking
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill memory-leak-detector --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
