# Debug system performance ## Goal Identify the dominant bottleneck (CPU, memory/swap, or I/O) from procfs evidence and recommend a fix, without mutating anything. ## Input - a Linux machine whose `/proc` is readable (per-process data is best-effort for processes owned by other users); - optional symptom description from the user. ## Output A verdict naming the bottleneck, the evidence lines behind it, ranked suspect processes, and concrete next actions. Exit status: `0` healthy, `1` pressure detected, `2` unusable environment. ## Workflow 1. Run the diagnostic script (2-5s window; longer for intermittent symptoms): ```sh python3 skills/debug-system/scripts/diagnose.py --interval 3 ``` Use `--json` when feeding another tool; the exit status classifies health. 2. Interpret the verdict. Trust PSI averages plus measured rates over single snapshots: `some` means work was stalled, `full` means everything stalled. Swap that is merely allocated is fine; swap moving at MiB/s is thrashing. 3. Collect corroborating evidence the script cannot see: ```sh journalctl -k -b --no-pager | grep -iE "oom|out of memory" | tail dmesg --level=err,warn --notime | tail ``` 4. Name the fix class before touching anything: - spin loop (high CPU, no output): restart the wedged process, as with any service; killing data first, consent always; - memory/swap: stop RSS+swap hogs via the `free-resources` skill; - I/O: find the writer; a flush storm
