Is the Free My CPU skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from wquguru/skills. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Free My CPU SkillProof Score?

9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Free My CPU?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Free My CPU with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 9.2/10
Tested: Jul 13, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Jul 18, 2026 · a43ae4d

Ran both the plain ad hoc audit and the skill's macOS command set on a real machine live — the skill version alone flagged WindowServer/Chrome as the actual top CPU consumers and classified load as non-saturated instead of just dumping raw uptime numbers.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What Free My CPU does

Runs a repeatable, read-only diagnostic pass (uptime, PSI, ps, docker stats, iostat) to separate CPU-bound, I/O-bound, memory-pressure, and noisy-monitoring causes of a slow host, then proposes fixes ranked by safety tier. Triggers when a host or dashboard is slow, load average is high, or Docker containers are suspected of hogging CPU. Hard rule: never kills processes, restarts services, or changes Docker/cron limits without explicit user approval of the exact target.

How to install Free My CPU

Commands — how to trigger Free My CPU

/free-my-cpu Read-only CPU/load/Docker audit workflow with safety-tiered remediation, never kills anything unasked.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

This server feels sluggish, can you diagnose what's eating the CPU
Check load average and docker stats to find why the host is slow
Something is hogging resources on this box, run a read-only diagnostic pass
