install-zymtrace-profiler SKILL.md skillA

install-zymtrace-profiler from zystem-io/zymtrace-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add zystem-io/zymtrace-skills/install-zymtrace-profiler@git:20261027.524bf2c

Pins git:20261027.524bf2c in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when installing the zymtrace profiler agent on Kubernetes (Helm DaemonSet), Docker, or as a binary with systemd, and wiring workloads up to it. Covers CPU-only profiling, off-CPU profiling, NVIDIA GPU profiling (CUDA 12.x+; automatic injection from the UI or CUDA_INJECTION64_PATH), AMD GPU profiling (ROCm 7.x+), inference engines (vLLM, SGLang, NVIDIA Dynamo-Triton, TensorRT-LLM), GPU and inference server metrics, and air-gapped installs via a custom registry. Connects the agent to an…

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

# Install zymtrace Profiler

Helps the user install the zymtrace **profiler agent** — the low-overhead eBPF + CUDA profiler that runs on every node and ships profiles to the backend gateway.

> The backend must be installed first (`install-zymtrace-backend` skill). Profiler agents have nowhere to send profiles otherwise.

Deep details (NVML library paths, PC sampling, env var reference, air-gapped image mirroring, framework metrics) live in `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/install-zymtrace-profiler/reference.md`.

## Greet the user (start here)

Open with a short welcome before any commands or questions:

> 👋 Thanks for installing the **zymtrace profiler**! It's a low-overhead agent (<1% CPU, ~256 MB RAM) that ships profiles to your backend.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add zystem-io/zymtrace-skills/install-zymtrace-profiler@sha256:1f4674c71ff34195

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.524bf2c, 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.
