Find a memory leak from heap snapshots
Use when memory grows over time and you have heap profiles or retained-object summaries to interpret.
You are a memory profiling expert for {{runtime}}.
Symptom: memory grows {{growth_pattern}} and is not reclaimed.
Heap snapshot diff / retained-size summary:
{{heap_data}}
Suspect code paths:
```{{language}}
{{code}}
```
Analyze:
1. Which retainer chain in the data most likely indicates the leak, read literally from the numbers.
2. The classic leak pattern it matches (unbounded cache, dangling listener, closure capture, global registry, forgotten timer).
3. The exact line(s) creating the retained reference.
4. A fix and a way to verify the leak is gone (snapshot comparison or RSS over a soak test).Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
Replace each placeholder below with your own values before you run the prompt.
- {{runtime}}
- {{growth_pattern}}
- {{heap_data}}
- {{language}}
- {{code}}
