🦣 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):

``bash python scripts/measure_power.py before ``

1. Find greedy creature:

``bash python scripts/hunt_processes.py ``

1. BONK! (track how many bonk and how much rock freed)

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

``bash python scripts/measurepower.py report <bonkcount> <rocksfreedmb> ``

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
