Use when running open-weight LLMs locally with Ollama — pulling and tagging models, calling the local API, picking a quantization or GGUF, writing Modelfiles, and sizing VRAM and RAM for the machine at hand. NOT remote or managed GPU serving and autoscaling (that is `runpod`), NOT downloading raw weights or datasets (that is `huggingface`), NOT retrieval pipeline design (that is `rag`).
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
# Ollama — run open-weight LLMs on one box Ollama serves GGUF models from a local daemon at `http://localhost:11434`, exposing both a native HTTP API and an OpenAI-compatible layer. Your job: reach for the right command, the right endpoint, and the right quant **for the hardware in front of you** — and recognize when the model does not fit and the work belongs on a remote GPU instead. This skill owns: install/serve, pull/tag, the local API (native + OpenAI-compat), Modelfiles, quantization choice, and VRAM/RAM sizing on a single machine. ## When to use / when not **Use when** the model runs on *this* machine: pulling/running a model, fixing an OOM, choosing Q4 vs Q8, authoring a Modelfile, or wiring an app to `localhost:11434`. **Go elsewhere when:** - Hosting behind a managed/remote GPU, autoscaling, or serverless inference → `runpod`, `modal`, `replicate`, `together-fireworks`, `fal`. Ollama is local, single-box, no autoscale. - Downloading raw weights, datasets, `hf`/`transformers`, repo management → `huggingface`. - Designing chunking / retrieval / reranking around a model → `rag` or `embeddings-search`. …

How to install
mdr add ericrisco/rsc-harness/ollama@sha256:af17c97098d0961bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260729.111532c, 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.
