From the author

Audits Android codebases for ANR risks and diagnoses ANR stack dumps. Use this skill when scanning Android code for ANR risks or triaging ANR stack dumps. Don't use for non-ANR crashes, dropped frames, general CPU profiling, or Perfetto system traces.

AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

The anr-audit-and-fix skill provides a structured methodology for identifying and remediating Application Not Responding (ANR) issues in Android applications. It supports two primary workflows: a static analysis path for auditing source code to detect potential thread-blocking operations or sync barrier leaks, and a trace-driven path for analyzing existing ANR stack dumps to determine root causes and propose fixes.

What it does

  • Performs static analysis on Android source code to identify potential main-thread blocking operations.
  • Detects Sync Barrier Leak risks caused by off-main-thread mutations of attached Views.
  • Systematically diagnoses ANR stack dumps and trace files.
  • Categorizes ANR findings into application defects, resource overloads, or external bottlenecks.
  • Provides a standardized reporting template for ANR trace analysis.
  • Offers guidance on distinguishing between actual ANR risks and non-blocking operations.

When to use it

  • When auditing Android source code to proactively find potential ANR-causing code patterns.
  • When investigating a reported ANR to determine if it is caused by application code or external factors.
  • When analyzing stack dumps to identify specific blocking chains or thread contention issues.
  • When verifying if off-main-thread UI access is creating a Sync Barrier Leak risk.

Advantages

  • Enforces a rigorous proof-based approach to identifying thread-blocking candidates.
  • Distinguishes between critical ANR risks and minor frame drops.
  • Provides a clear framework for differentiating between application-level defects and external system bottlenecks.
  • Standardizes the documentation and reporting of ANR investigations.

Usage examples

“Audit this Activity for potential ANR risks.”
The agent will scan the provided code, verify the executing thread for blocking primitives, and report any confirmed ANR risks or Sync Barrier Leaks.
“Analyze this ANR stack dump and suggest a fix.”
The agent will process the trace, identify the unresponsive thread and blocking mechanism, and provide a structured report with a recommended code fix if the issue is an application defect.

Select the execution path matching the user's request:

1. Path A: Static codebase ANR risk audit

When auditing source files or scanning for thread-blocking operations:

  • Follow references/risk_analysis_guide.md step by step: list candidates, prove the executing thread (trace callers when the thread depends on them), prove the call blocks, then attribute and grade. Report only candidates that pass these checks; list the dismissed ones separately with a one-line reason.

  • Evaluate off-main-thread mutations of attached Views not merely as crash risks (CalledFromWrongThreadException), but as Sync Barrier Leak ANR risks with their own proof (off-main execution plus an attached View).

2. Path B: Trace-driven diagnosis and remediation

When analyzing ANR traces or stack dumps:
