Goal
Master intelligent process management with Process Triage.
What Is Process Triage?
PT (Process Triage) identifies and terminates abandoned or zombie processes using a Bayesian-inspired scoring algorithm. It evaluates process type, age, orphan status, and resource usage to calculate abandonment probability.
PT remembers your kill/spare decisions for similar processes, improving recommendations over time. It requires explicit confirmation and attempts graceful SIGTERM first.
Smart Search
Find processes by name, PID, or resource usage
Resource Analysis
See CPU, memory, and I/O at a glance
Problem Detection
Identify runaway and zombie processes
Safe Actions
Signal processes with confirmation
Essential Commands
Show process overview
Show top resource consumers
Find processes by name
Show all options
Pro Tip
PT is useful when agents need to diagnose why builds are slow or what's consuming resources.
