162 Java Profiling Analyze Agent Skill
Use when you need to analyze Java profiling data collected during the detection phase — including interpreting flamegraphs, memory allocation patterns, CPU hotspots, threading issues, systematic problem categorization, evidence documentation with profiling-problem-analysis and profiling-solutions markdown files, or prioritizing fixes using Impact/Effort scoring. This should trigger for requests such as Analyze JFR profile; Analyze the profile; Analyze the performance; Analyze the memory; Analyze the threading; Analyze GC logs from profiling; Prioritize Java profiling bottlenecks by impact.

5 sections, as written by the authorJava Profiling Workflow / Step 2 / Analyze profiling data
Analyze profiling results systematically: inventory results (flamegraphs, JFR, GC logs, thread dumps), identify problems (memory leaks, CPU hotspots, threading issues), document findings using standardized templates (profiling-problem-analysis-YYYYMMDD.md, profiling-solutions-YYYYMMDD.md), prioritize using Impact/Effort scores, and correlate multiple profiling files for validation.
What is covered in this Skill?
- Inventory: scan profiler/results/ for allocation-flamegraph, heatmap-cpu, memory-leak, *.jfr, *.log, *.txt
- Problem identification: memory (leaks, excessive allocations, GC pressure), performance (CPU hotspots, blocking), threading (deadlocks, contention, pool saturation)
- Documentation: docs/profiling-problem-analysis-YYYYMMDD.md, docs/profiling-solutions-YYYYMMDD.md
- Prioritization: Impact (1–5) / Effort (1–5), focus on high priority first
- Tools: async-profiler, JFR, JProfiler/YourKit, GCViewer, flamegraphs, heatmaps
Scope: Validate profiling results represent realistic load scenarios. Cross-reference multiple files. Include quantitative metrics.
Constraints
Validate profiling results represent realistic load before analysis. Document assumptions and limitations. Cross-reference multiple files.
- VALIDATE: Ensure profiling results represent realistic load scenarios before analysis
- DOCUMENT: Record assumptions and limitations in analysis reports
- CROSS-REFERENCE: Use multiple profiling files to validate findings
- BEFORE APPLYING: Read the reference for problem analysis and solutions templates
- EDGE CASE: If request scope is ambiguous, stop and ask a clarifying question before applying changes
- EDGE CASE: If required inputs, files, or tooling are missing, report what is missing and ask whether to proceed with setup guidance
When to use this skill
- Analyze JFR profile
- Analyze the profile
- Analyze the performance
- Analyze the memory
- Analyze the threading
- Analyze the GC
- Analyze the profiling
- Prioritize Java profiling bottlenecks by impact
- Performance analysis
Workflow
- Read analysis reference and inventory inputs
Read references/162-java-profiling-analyze.md and inventory profiling artifacts in profiler/results/.
- Validate data quality and assumptions
Confirm datasets represent realistic load conditions and record assumptions/limitations before drawing conclusions.
- Identify and prioritize bottlenecks
Analyze memory/CPU/threading findings, cross-reference multiple files, and prioritize issues by Impact/Effort.
- Document findings and solution options
Create docs/profiling-problem-analysis-YYYYMMDD.md and docs/profiling-solutions-YYYYMMDD.md with quantitative evidence.

Create beautiful visual art in .png and .pdf documents using design philosophy. You should use this skill when the user asks to create a poster, piece of art, design, or other static piece. Create original visual designs, never copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
Use this skill whenever the user wants to do anything with PDF files. This includes reading or extracting text/tables from PDFs, combining or merging multiple PDFs into one, splitting PDFs apart, rotating pages, adding watermarks, creating new PDFs, filling PDF forms, encrypting/decrypting PDFs, extracting images, and OCR on scanned PDFs to make them searchable. If the user mentions a .pdf file or asks to produce one, use this skill.
Use this skill whenever the user wants to create, read, edit, or manipulate Word documents (.docx files). Triggers include: any mention of 'Word doc', 'word document', '.docx', or requests to produce professional documents with formatting like tables of contents, headings, page numbers, or letterheads. Also use when extracting or reorganizing content from .docx files, inserting or replacing images in documents, performing find-and-replace in Word files, working with tracked changes or comments, or converting content into a polished Word document. If the user asks for a 'report', 'memo', 'letter', 'template', or similar deliverable as a Word or .docx file, use this skill. Do NOT use for PDFs, spreadsheets, Google Docs, or general coding tasks unrelated to document generation.
Use this skill any time a .pptx file is involved in any way — as input, output, or both. This includes: creating slide decks, pitch decks, or presentations; reading, parsing, or extracting text from any .pptx file (even if the extracted content will be used elsewhere, like in an email or summary); editing, modifying, or updating existing presentations; combining or splitting slide files; working with templates, layouts, speaker notes, or comments. Trigger whenever the user mentions \"deck,\" \"slides,\" \"presentation,\" or references a .pptx filename, regardless of what they plan to do with the content afterward. If a .pptx file needs to be opened, created, or touched, use this skill.
Create and edit Obsidian Flavored Markdown with wikilinks, embeds, callouts, properties, and other Obsidian-specific syntax. Use when working with .md files in Obsidian, or when the user mentions wikilinks, callouts, frontmatter, tags, embeds, or Obsidian notes.
