What it does

162 Java Profiling Analyze is an agent skill from jabrena/plinth. 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…

Its SKILL.md is about 930 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/162-java-profiling-analyze.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Performance optimization and Prioritization frameworks. It works with Java. The repository describes itself as: Plinth is an AI-native engineering toolkit for modern Java enterprise SDLC, built around reusable Commands, Agents, Skills, and MCP Servers. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • You need to analyze Java profiling data collected during the detection phase — including interpreting flamegraphs
  • Memory allocation patterns
  • Threading issues
  • Systematic problem categorization

Example prompts

  • “/162-java-profiling-analyze”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dca88dc. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

162 Java Profiling Analyze loads about 928 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 162 tokens; SKILL.md has 310 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~162
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~928
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Java 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

  1. Read analysis reference and inventory inputs

Read references/162-java-profiling-analyze.md and inventory profiling artifacts in profiler/results/.

  1. Validate data quality and assumptions

Confirm datasets represent realistic load conditions and record assumptions/limitations before drawing conclusions.

  1. Identify and prioritize bottlenecks

Analyze memory/CPU/threading findings, cross-reference multiple files, and prioritize issues by Impact/Effort.

  1. Document findings and solution options

Create docs/profiling-problem-analysis-YYYYMMDD.md and docs/profiling-solutions-YYYYMMDD.md with quantitative evidence.
