Use when a developer wants to run a hosted job — a fine-tune, an RL (reinforcement-learning) run, batch inference, or large-scale trajectory generation — and asks where, how long, and how much. "What would it cost to fine-tune this", "which provider should I use for this RL run", "is this cheaper locally or in the cloud". Estimates and routes; never spends.

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

# Plan Hosted Run

One skill for the single question "I want to run a hosted job — **where**, **how
long**, and **how much**?" It has two halves that usually run together:

1. **Estimate** — a defensible back-of-envelope for wall-clock and dollars,
   local (Apple Silicon / MLX) versus cloud (rented GPU or serverless), with
   every input labeled measured-or-assumed. Methodology below; constants,
   benchmarks, and cited prices in
   [`references/cost-estimation.md`](references/cost-estimation.md).
2. **Route** — match the job shape to the provider whose strengths actually
   fit, with cited facts and honest caveats. Routing table below; per-provider
   detail and citations in [`references/providers.md`](references/providers.md).

This skill estimates and recommends. It never provisions, rents, or spends —
those are explicit, separate user actions. **Prices and features drift — verify
on the provider's live pricing page before any spend.**

Optimize the recommendation for reaching the workload objective, not for the
lowest sticker price. Present the recommended outcome-sized plan first, then a
cheaper diagnostic and a faster or higher-confidence option when useful. State

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add understudylabs/orchestra-agent-tools/plan-hosted-run@sha256:7b6a679dc52adb35

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.533318e, 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.
