openclaw-test-heap-leaks
Investigate `pnpm test` memory growth, Vitest worker OOMs, and suspicious RSS increases in OpenClaw using the `scripts/test-parallel.mjs` heap snapshot tooling. Use when Codex needs to reproduce test-lane memory growth, collect repeated `.heapsnapshot` files, compare snapshots from the same worker PID, distinguish transformed-module retention from real data leaks, and fix or reduce the impact by patching cleanup logic or isolating hotspot tests.
npx skills add SafeAI-Lab-X/ClawKeeper --skill openclaw-test-heap-leaks --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.
# OpenClaw Test Heap Leaks Use this skill for test-memory investigations. Do not guess from RSS alone when heap snapshots are available. ## Workflow 1. Reproduce the failing shape first. - Match the real entrypoint if possible. For Linux CI-style unit failures, start with: - `pnpm canvas:a2ui:bundle && OPENCLAW_TEST_MEMORY_TRACE=1 OPENCLAW_TEST_HEAPSNAPSHOT_INTERVAL_MS=60000 OPENCLAW_TEST_HEAPSNAPSHOT_DIR=.tmp/heapsnap OPENCLAW_TEST_WORKERS=2 OPENCLAW_TEST_MAX_OLD_SPACE_SIZE_MB=6144 pnpm test` - Keep `OPENCLAW_TEST_MEMORY_TRACE=1` enabled so the wrapper prints per-file RSS summaries alongside the snapshots. - If the report is about a specific shard or worker budget, preserve that shape. 2. Wait for repeated snapshots before concluding anything. - Take at least two intervals from the same lane. - Compare snapshots from the same PID inside one lane directory such as `.tmp/heapsnap/unit-fast/`. - Use `scripts/heapsnapshot-delta.mjs` to compare either two files directly or the earliest/latest pair per PID in one lane directory. 3. Classify the growth before choosing a fix. - If growth is dominated by Vite/Vitest transformed source strings, `Module`, `system / Context`, bytecode, descri

What does the openclaw-test-heap-leaks skill do?
Investigate `pnpm test` memory growth, Vitest worker OOMs, and suspicious RSS increases in OpenClaw using the `scripts/test-parallel.mjs` heap snapshot tooling.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add SafeAI-Lab-X/ClawKeeper --skill openclaw-test-heap-leaks --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 SafeAI-Lab-X/ClawKeeper, a repository with 1,034 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.
