VS Code Performance Workflow

Drive a repeatable VS Code scenario, collect memory/performance artifacts, verify that the scenario actually happened, then hand the resulting heap snapshots to the generic heap-snapshot-analysis skill when object-level investigation is needed.

When to Use

• User describes a VS Code workflow and asks whether it leaks or grows memory
• User asks the agent to launch VS Code, drive a scenario, and capture heap snapshots
• User asks to run the Chat memory smoke runner bundled with this skill
• User wants screenshots, summary.json, renderer heap samples, and targeted .heapsnapshot files for one scenario
• User wants a new automation runner for a non-Chat VS Code scenario

Do not use this skill when snapshots already exist and the user only wants heap object/retainer analysis. Use heap-snapshot-analysis directly.
