domino-distributed-computing SKILL.md skillA
domino-distributed-computing from dominodatalab/domino-ai-plugin is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Work with Domino on-demand compute clusters - Apache Spark, Ray, Dask and Open MPI - attached to a Workspace or Job. Covers choosing a framework, the cluster and execution environments, attaching a cluster from the UI or the Jobs API (computeCluster), connecting from code, autoscaling, cluster web UIs and lifecycle, and troubleshooting. Use when processing large datasets, running distributed or multi-GPU training, or scaling Python workloads. Slurm is domino-hpc-slurm.
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
# Domino distributed computing Applies to Domino 6.3 and Domino Cloud. Domino provisions an on-demand Spark, Ray, Dask or Open MPI cluster when a Workspace or Job starts and destroys it when the execution stops. It belongs to that execution alone and its nodes run a separate **cluster environment**. Slurm: [domino-hpc-slurm](../domino-hpc-slurm/SKILL.md). Docs: https://docs.domino.ai/cloud/platform-capabilities/features/compute-clusters-hpc (same paths under `/6.3/`). ## Choose a framework | Framework | Use for | Not for | |---|---|---| | Spark | SQL/ETL over large data, MLlib, PySpark | streaming, HDFS-style storage, strict-SLA pipelines (a cluster starts per execution) | | Ray | Ray Train, Ray Tune, RLlib, parallel Python | serving (clusters are ephemeral; use a Domino endpoint) | | Dask | pandas/NumPy/scikit-learn at scale, custom task graphs | | | Open MPI | multi-node, multi-GPU `mpirun` training (Horovod, PyTorch, TF) | Apps, Launchers, endpoints (not supported) | | Slurm | existing `sbatch` scripts: [domino-hpc-slurm](../domino-hpc-slurm/SKILL.md) | Jobs (Workspace only) | ## Environments Each cluster type needs two environments with the **same Python version**: …

How to install
mdr add dominodatalab/domino-ai-plugin/domino-distributed-computing@sha256:b3a7668c086a9889The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.681e9c1, 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.
