C2 escape-analysis internals: connection graphs, escape-state propagation, flow insensitivity, bytecode escape summaries, scalar replacement and allocation merges, lock elimination, macro expansion, and deoptimization rematerialization. Use when a hot object still allocates, an inlining boundary changes EA, a product-build diagnostic is misleading, a disabled JFR allocation event is treated as proof, or recurring deoptimization makes eliminated objects costly. Does not cover introductory…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Escape Analysis Internals

## Purpose

Explain why a specific object was not eliminated, using the mechanism rather than folklore.
The failure this skill prevents is chasing the wrong target: tuning bytecode escape-analysis
limits toward ArgEscape in the hope of removing an allocation. In current C2, ArgEscape is not
eligible for scalar replacement; it can make monitor elimination possible, but even that remains
subject to the surrounding lock shape and compiler policy.

Escape classification is the fixed point of edge propagation over a connection graph, and
macro expansion then removes an `AllocateNode` or lowers the surviving allocation. Dead-code and
macro cleanup can also discard an allocation whose result has no surviving use, independently of
EA. That is one reason a zero-allocation microbenchmark needs an EA-disabled control and emitted-
code/compiler-log evidence.

## Workflow

1. **Confirm the baseline is not the explanation.** Record vendor, full JDK build, compiler,
   tiering and effective flags; this material targets HotSpot C2, chiefly JDK 25. Reuse
   established compiler evidence. For a confirmed Graal target, stop these C2 steps and hand off
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add robsonkades/agent-skills/escape-analysis-internals@sha256:e3c64d7967172ae0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.c769bd8, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
