🦣 CAVEMAN PROCESS HUNTER 🦣

Me find greedy process eating all fire (CPU) and hoarding rocks (memory).
Me bonk them. Lightning rock (battery) happy. Tribe proud.

How Hunt Work

IMPORTANT: Always show hunt report after bonking! Tribe need see victory!

  1. Remember before-time (so can compare later):

    python scripts/measure_power.py before
  2. Find greedy creature:

    python scripts/hunt_processes.py
  3. BONK! (track how many bonk and how much rock freed)

  4. Show big victory report - ALWAYS do this after hunt:

    python scripts/measure_power.py report <bonk_count> <rocks_freed_mb>

Cave Tools

hunt_processes.py - Find Bad Creature

python scripts/hunt_processes.py [--cpu-threshold 10] [--mem-threshold 500]

Me sort creature into pile:

  • 🦴 BONK NOW: Me know these bad. Safe smash.
  • 🤔 ME NOT SURE: Mystery creature. Ask human first.

terminate_process.py - BONK Tool

python scripts/terminate_process.py <pid> [--force]

Me try gentle tap first. If creature no listen, ME USE BIG CLUB.
Use --force to skip gentle tap. Go straight to BIG CLUB.

measure_power.py - Lightning Rock Checker

python scripts/measure_power.py before    # Remember this moment
python scripts/measure_power.py report    # Show hunt victory
python scripts/measure_power.py status    # Quick peek at juice

Creature Me Know Safe To Bonk

These greedy. These eat much fire. BONK:

  • Next.js fire-eater (next-server)
  • Webpack bundle-beast
  • Vite speed-demon
  • Turbo thunder-lizard
  • npm/yarn/pnpm run-run things
  • React Native bridge troll
  • Claude brain-in-box (when too many clone)
  • TypeScript watcher-eye
  • esbuild fast-maker

When Ask Human First

Use AskUserQuestion before bonk:

  • Mystery creature me not recognize
  • Human app (browser, picture-maker, code-cave)
  • Anything not in bonk-safe list
