Asynkron.Profiler

Trigger On

• the repo wants Asynkron.Profiler or asynkron-profiler
• the user wants automation-friendly profiling output instead of GUI-only tooling
• profiling needs are CPU, allocation, exception, contention, or heap focused and should land as plain-text summaries in CI, scripts, or agent workflows
• the task needs to render an existing .nettrace, .speedscope.json, .etlx, or .gcdump file into a readable report

Workflow

1. Decide whether the task is a new profile capture or rendering an existing trace artifact.
2. Prefer built Release output over dotnet run so the trace represents the target app rather than restore/build noise.
3. Install and verify all three tools before assuming the profiler is usable:
   • asynkron-profiler
   • dotnet-trace
   • dotnet-gcdump
4. Choose exactly one primary mode first:
   • --cpu
