Computer running slow or app frozen
Skill: process-manager · Risk: medium · Steps: 9
Diagnoses and resolves system performance issues caused by runaway processes, memory pressure, thermal throttling, or excessive startup items.
What it does, step by step
Step 1. Identifies the processes using the most CPU and memory on the computer.
read-only · get_top_consumers
Step 2. Checks whether the system is low on memory and swapping, causing slowdowns.
read-only · get_memory_pressure
Step 3. Checks whether the processor is overheating and throttling performance.
read-only · get_cpu_temperature
Step 4. Lists apps and services set to launch automatically at startup.
read-only · get_startup_items
Step 5. Summarizes the findings and lets the user choose which fixes to apply.
asks the user, conditional · present_preview
Step 6. Applies only the fixes the user approved, restarting, closing, or disabling exactly what was selected.
makes a change, asks permission, preview first · disable_startup_item
Step 7. Rechecks resource usage and memory pressure to confirm the fixes helped.
read-only · get_top_consumers, get_memory_pressure
Step 8. Checks whether low disk space is contributing to the slowdown and suggests cleanup if so.
read-only · get_disk_usage
Step 9. Summarizes what was fixed, current system health, and any remaining concerns or next steps. no tools
