vectorization SKILL.md skillA

vectorization from dotnet/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add dotnet/skills/vectorization@git:20261005.c6ec97b

Pins git:20261005.c6ec97b in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Design, implement, optimize, and review SIMD code in .NET. USE FOR: vectorizing scalar loops with TensorPrimitives, Vector64/128/256/512, or platform hardware intrinsics; reviewing existing SIMD code, including the generic Vector type, for contract equivalence, tail handling, memory safety, portability, fallbacks, and measured performance. DO NOT USE FOR: performance work unrelated to SIMD or vectorization.

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

# .NET SIMD vectorization

Produce a portable optimization that preserves the scalar contract, remains memory-safe at every
length, and earns its complexity with measured results. **Read the official
[SIMD and hardware-intrinsics guidance](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/standard/simd) first**
and follow its comprehensive implementation templates. In particular, use its self-contained
per-width dispatch, dedicated small-input handling, loop, and remainder shapes rather than reducing
them to a chain of width checks. This skill supplies the decision rules and validation checks to
apply while changing real code.

## Inputs and prerequisites

Discover these from the repository before asking the user:

| Input | Required | What to establish |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Scalar implementation and tests | Yes | Existing contract, representative call sites, and supported overlap |
| Target frameworks and platforms | Yes | Available SIMD APIs and architectures that must behave consistently |
| Build and test workflow | Yes | The repository's normal commands and how to launch separate test processes |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dotnet/skills/vectorization@sha256:7dd6ac2b67b2a2de

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.c6ec97b, 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.
