jetson-memory-audit SKILL.md skillA
jetson-memory-audit from nvidia/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add nvidia/skills/jetson-memory-audit@v0.0.1Pins v0.0.1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Measure Jetson DRAM/NvMap usage and verify before/after memory reclamation with live audit data.
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
# Jetson Memory Audit Read-only memory-focused snapshot for a Jetson, plus the `drop_caches` verify-loop helper that confirms freed memory actually shows up as free instead of cached. ## Purpose Measure current Jetson memory consumers, capture before/after baselines, and verify whether user-approved changes actually reclaimed DRAM. Use live device data rather than estimates from container size, model size, or generic process memory. ## CRITICAL: Memory appears stuck after stopping vLLM / sglang (JetPack below 7.2 / L4T below r39.0) **This is the most common memory confusion on Jetson releases before JetPack 7.2 or before L4T r39.0.** After you stop a vLLM, sglang, or Ollama server (or any CUDA workload), the memory shown as free by `free -h` or `tegrastats` may not recover — even though the process is gone. `nvidia-smi` may also show misleadingly low free GPU memory. **Root cause:** The Thor RM (resource manager) holds freed sysmem pages in its own pool after a CUDA context exits. On Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) devices like Jetson, `cudaMemGetInfo` reads RM pool state and reports far less free memory than is actually available to a new process. …

How to install
mdr add nvidia/skills/jetson-memory-audit@sha256:c751cb62c4a6b4acThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.0.1, 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.
