install-zymtrace-backend SKILL.md skillA

install-zymtrace-backend from zystem-io/zymtrace-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add zystem-io/zymtrace-skills/install-zymtrace-backend@git:20260715.fbd20f5

Pins git:20260715.fbd20f5 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when installing the zymtrace backend (the AI optimization platform that ingests CPU/GPU profiling data). Covers Kubernetes (Helm) and single-node Docker Compose. Handles license setup, choosing in-cluster vs external ClickHouse/Postgres/object storage, ingress with gRPC and TLS, and air-gapped installs via a custom image registry. Trigger phrases: "install zymtrace", "install zymtrace backend", "deploy zymtrace", "set up zymtrace on kubernetes…

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

# Install zymtrace Backend

Helps the user install the zymtrace **backend** — gateway, ingest, web, symdb, identity, UI, migrate, plus data stores (ClickHouse, Postgres, S3-compatible object storage).

> The profiler agent is a separate install (`install-zymtrace-profiler` skill). This skill is only the backend that receives data.

Deep details, secret-creation commands, Docker Compose, and air-gapped live in `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/install-zymtrace-backend/reference.md` — read it when the decision tree points you there.

## Greet the user (start here)

Before any commands or questions, open with a warm welcome. Adapt to context, but always cover: a thank-you, the support channels, and a quick map of what's coming. Sample:

> 👋 Thanks for choosing **zymtrace**! I'll walk you through installing the backend — the platform that ingests your CPU/GPU profiling data, surfaces optimization insights, and serves the UI.
>
> **If you get stuck at any point, reach out:**
> - Community Slack: <https://join.slack.com/t/zymtrace/shared_invite/zt-3fdidjufl-q~NHxDzQlzal2B9mujfaoQ>
> - Email: <support@zymtrace.com>

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add zystem-io/zymtrace-skills/install-zymtrace-backend@sha256:620944bed4ee0f11

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260715.fbd20f5, 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.
