Plan NVIDIA Parabricks pbrun commands, translate CPU options and check runtime readiness. Use for individual tools, including planning-only questions.
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
# Parabricks ## Purpose Use this skill to discover the right NVIDIA Parabricks `pbrun` command, assess runtime readiness, and generate version-aware command guidance for individual tools. Do **not** use this skill for whole-workflow inspection, acceleration planning, or wiring optional GPU branches. For pipeline-level work, use `genomics-workflow-acceleration`. ## When to Use This Skill - Which `pbrun` tool fits the user's data and goal - GPU, driver, Docker, container, storage, or installation readiness - Command shape, flags, and validation for a specific Parabricks tool - Reference/index compatibility and CPU-to-Parabricks option translation - Troubleshooting a single Parabricks command or tool family - Planning-only or "do not run" questions about a named `pbrun` tool (for example reference/index compatibility, output naming, or flag validity). Use this skill's references to answer; do not skip it because nothing will be executed. ## Prerequisites - **Command guidance:** No Parabricks/NGC credential or local GPU/container runtime is required to read references or generate commands. - **Readiness helper:** Requires Bash and GNU coreutils `timeout` (or `gtimeout`) …

How to install
mdr add nvidia/skills/parabricks@sha256:e334834c39374261The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.4.0, 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.
