tao-run-on-slurm SKILL.md skillC
tao-run-on-slurm from nvidia-tao/tao-skill-bank is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add nvidia-tao/tao-skill-bank/tao-run-on-slurm@v0.1.1Pins v0.1.1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Remote SLURM GPU cluster execution over SSH with sbatch/srun, Pyxis/Enroot containers, and Lustre-backed.
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
# SLURM > **Standalone install?** If this session was not initialized by the TAO skill bank plugin, run the `tao-setup` skill first (host preflight, credentials, cross-skill discovery). Remote GPU compute platform for clusters managed by SLURM. Jobs are submitted from the launch host to a login node over SSH, staged on a shared filesystem, submitted with `sbatch`, and executed with `srun` container support. ## When to use Use SLURM when the user has access to a managed GPU cluster, shared Lustre storage, and scheduler-owned GPU allocation. Do not use SLURM for local files that exist only on the agent machine; data and outputs must be reachable from the cluster. ## Preflight + SSH Confirm `SLURM_USER` and `SLURM_HOSTNAME` are exported and passwordless SSH to a login host works (`ssh -o BatchMode=yes`). The launch host needs `ssh`, not local `sbatch`, `srun`, Enroot, or a Lustre mount. Preflight those scheduler, Pyxis, Enroot, and shared-storage dependencies on the selected remote login/compute frame. Model-specific inspectors may be streamed from the installed skill over SSH stdin; do not stage an ad-hoc source patch or treat the launch host as the SLURM frame. …

How to install
mdr add nvidia-tao/tao-skill-bank/tao-run-on-slurm@sha256:8193806ce87bc9b2The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.1, 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.
