Performs an advanced N|Solid memory leak hunt comparing baseline vs peak heap evidence to isolate retained constructors, closures, and retainer paths. Use when the user reports recurring/staircase memory growth, elusive leaks, retained objects, closures holding references, or a standard heap sample/snapshot analysis was inconclusive. Prefer supplied baseline/peak assets; capture new samples only when needed.

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/nodesource/nsolid-skills-plugin /tmp/nsolid-skills-plugin && ln -s /tmp/nsolid-skills-plugin/skills/ns-advanced-memory-leak-hunter ~/.claude/skills/ns-advanced-memory-leak-hunter
```

## From README

Phase 0: Reuse Evidence and Resolve Target If the user already supplied both baseline and peak evidence, skip straight to Phase 4. If no agent id is supplied, call information-dashboard (q: "app= ", start: "5m" when app is known) to resolve the required agent id; preserve the exact appName for downloads. Stop if no matching agent is connected. Phase 1: Establish the Baseline Take an initial low-overhead heap sample using heap-sampling (id: , duration: 30). Run the wait script using the absolute path of the directory where you read this SKILL.md: Call asset-summary on the returned baseline asset ID. If not ready, run node " /wait.cjs" 10 and retry; use assets-in-progress only as a secondary queue clue. Cap retries at 12; if still not ready, report the baseline asset ID and its pending state instead of continuing indefinitely. From the baseline summary, note the top allocating constructors (e.g., Object, Array, system / Map).
