cpu-gpu-performance SKILL.md skillA

cpu-gpu-performance from athola/claude-night-market is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add athola/claude-night-market/cpu-gpu-performance@git:20261005.72b0a8f

Pins git:20261005.72b0a8f in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Establishes CPU/GPU baselines before resource-intensive operations. Use before builds, training runs, or any task that pins cores or GPUs for over a minute.

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

# CPU/GPU Performance Discipline

## When To Use
- At the beginning of every session (auto-load alongside `token-conservation`).
- Whenever you plan to build, train, or test anything that could pin CPU cores
  or GPUs for more than a minute.
- Before retrying a failing command that previously consumed significant resources.

## When NOT To Use

- Simple operations with no resource impact
- Quick single-file operations

## Required Progress Items
1. `cpu-gpu-performance:baseline`
2. `cpu-gpu-performance:scope`
3. `cpu-gpu-performance:instrument`
4. `cpu-gpu-performance:throttle`
5. `cpu-gpu-performance:log`

## Step 1: Establish Current Baseline
- Capture current utilization:
  - `uptime`
  - `ps -eo pcpu,cmd | head`
  - `nvidia-smi --query-gpu=utilization.gpu,memory.used --format=csv`

  Note which hosts/GPUs are already busy.
- Record any CI/cluster budgets (time quotas, GPU hours) before launching work.
- Set a per-task CPU minute / GPU minute budget that respects those limits.

## Step 2: Narrow the Scope
- Avoid running "whole world" jobs after a small fix. Prefer diff-based
  or tag-based selective testing:
  - `pytest -k`
  - Bazel target patterns
  - `cargo test <module>`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add athola/claude-night-market/cpu-gpu-performance@sha256:56e688aa5cbcb6a0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.72b0a8f, 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.
