vast-experiment-ops SKILL.md skillA
vast-experiment-ops from lu1sdv/skillsmd is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Use when running or reporting ML experiments on rented Vast.ai GPU instances — diagnosing strict FP32 equivalence checks that pass on CPU but fail on CUDA (cuDNN TF32), parsing JSON metrics collected over SSH, and keeping held-out/test-scope reporting accurate.
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
# vast-experiment-ops Error-informed operational playbook for renting, running, and reporting ML experiments on Vast.ai. It supplements the platform docs and the instance's own guide; it replaces neither. ## Quick reference | Situation | Action | |---|---| | Strict FP32 equivalence passes on CPU, fails on CUDA | Re-run the unchanged check in a fresh process with `NVIDIA_TF32_OVERRIDE=0` set before Python starts | | `JSONDecodeError` parsing remote metrics | Capture stdout/stderr separately, parse stdout only; collector emits exactly one JSON document on stdout | | Asked whether the test split was used | Answer from this run's queue config and result metadata plus prior artifacts — never open test data to answer | | Reporting progress | Include UTC time, snapshot age, active trial/epoch, and complete/pruned/failed/running counts | | Sizing a job | Check cgroup CPU/RAM limits, free GPU memory, free disk, and storage persistence — host totals mislead | ## Ground rules - Get the instance address and experiment paths from the user or project config. Never reuse an address remembered from this skill. - Read the instance's own guide (e.g. `/etc/vast-agents-guide.md`) before …

How to install
mdr add lu1sdv/skillsmd/vast-experiment-ops@sha256:8166e7a0e1233159The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260919.01355af, 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.
