slurm SKILL.md skillA

slurm from uchicago-dsi/ai-sci-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add uchicago-dsi/ai-sci-skills/slurm@git:20261101.d6e599a

Pins git:20261101.d6e599a in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Inspect queue state, submit or cancel jobs, debug sbatch and submitit runs, and separate scheduler issues from runtime failures. Use when the agent works with Slurm commands, submit scripts, submit.py launchers, or submitit logs.

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

## Use It As A Platform Skill

- Assume repo and workspace policy has already been loaded into context.
- Honor the active authorization, quota, logging, and handoff rules for the current workspace.
- Keep heavy compute off the headnode. Inspect files, edit code, and submit or monitor jobs from the headnode; run real compute on Slurm nodes only.
- Compose this skill with repo or experiment skills. Let them define intent; use this skill for scheduler choices and failure triage.

## Use This Decision Ladder

1. Discover the project’s environment and command convention from local policy and existing launchers.
2. Prefer the repo-native launcher, such as a checked-in workflow command, submission entrypoint, or scheduler wrapper.
3. If cluster policy matters and no trustworthy local note exists, do a light bootstrap of the site facts.
4. If QoS or partition policy matters, inspect the live scheduler limits instead of relying on memory.
5. If no higher-level launcher exists, use the checked-in `sbatch` script or wrapper.
6. Classify the issue as scheduler-only or runtime-related before changing code or resubmitting.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add uchicago-dsi/ai-sci-skills/slurm@sha256:161cd54821707a6f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.d6e599a, 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.
