dotnet-gc-memory
Garbage collection and memory management for .NET applications. Covers GC modes (workstation vs server, concurrent vs non-concurrent), Large Object Heap (LOH) and Pinned Object Heap (POH), generational tuning (Gen0/1/2), memory pressure notifications, deep Span/Memory ownership patterns beyond basics, buffer pooling with ArrayPool and MemoryPool, weak references, finalizers vs IDisposable, and memory profiling with dotMemory and PerfView.
Out of scope: Span/Memory syntax introduction and basic usage -- see [skill:dotnet-performance-patterns]. Microbenchmarking setup -- see [skill:dotnet-benchmarkdotnet]. CLI diagnostic tools (dotnet-counters, dotnet-trace, dotnet-dump) -- see [skill:dotnet-profiling]. Channel producer/consumer patterns -- see [skill:dotnet-channels].
