xpu-model-type-detect SKILL.md skillA

xpu-model-type-detect from intel/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add intel/skills/xpu-model-type-detect@git:20260903.b1ad034

Pins git:20260903.b1ad034 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Before loading a Hugging Face model on Intel XPU, detect its actual type (text generation, text encoder, seq2seq, vision classification, vision-language, audio encoder, audio seq2seq, multimodal VL, diffusion, time-series, reward model, masked LM) so the agent picks the right `AutoModel` class and input kwargs. Prevents "got unexpected keyword argument 'pixel_values'" and "empty logits" errors from mis-routing. Use before `torch-xpu-run` or `vllm-xpu-run` when the user gives a model id the…

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

# xpu-model-type-detect

Pick the right loader class before you load. A wrong loader class
produces an opaque failure *after* the model is already on XPU — 20+
seconds into a load you didn't need to make.

## Reporting the verdict

Run `scripts/detect.py` against the model id rather than answering
its type from memory — even for a familiar model, the detector's
verdict is the citable result. Then paste its output block verbatim
in a fenced code block, keeping the `detected:`, `loader:`, `inputs:`,
and `confidence:` lines as-is rather than reformatting them into a
table — those literal labels are what the user and downstream tools
key on. Lead with the confirmed type, e.g. "detection confirmed:
`multimodal_vl`", to show the verdict came from the run.

Detection is read-only, so there's nothing to health-check
afterward — confirming the verdict block is the result.

## Quickstart

```sh
python3 scripts/detect.py --model openai/clip-vit-base-patch32
```

```
model_id:    openai/clip-vit-base-patch32
detected:    vision_language
loader:      transformers.CLIPModel
processor:   transformers.AutoProcessor
inputs:      pixel_values, input_ids

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add intel/skills/xpu-model-type-detect@sha256:be03424c6dc9334a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260903.b1ad034, 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.
