What it is

ios-memgraph-leaks is also part of the build-ios-apps plugin for Codex. A memory leak happens when objects stay alive after they are no longer needed, so the app uses more memory over time. The Skill reproduces the problem flow in the Simulator, captures a memory graph from the running process, summarizes the app's own leaked types with a script, inspects what keeps them alive with leaks --traceTree, applies the smallest fix, recaptures and compares, and reports leak counts, ownership paths and the types that disappeared. One firm rule: a smaller memory graph alone doesn't prove a fix. A credible fix names the ownership path that kept the object alive and shows that the path or type is gone afterward.

Who it's for:developers tracking down memory problems in iPhone apps. If you don't write code, it won't be useful to you.

Before you start: you need a Mac, Xcode and the iOS Simulator. Check the repository for license terms.
