vllm-deployment SKILL.md skillA
vllm-deployment from air-gapped/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add air-gapped/skills/vllm-deployment@git:20261018.d292452Pins git:20261018.d292452 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use this skill when authoring, reviewing, or fixing a vLLM Kubernetes manifest, Docker/Podman pod, or OpenShift ServingRuntime — even when the user does not say "vllm". Triggers on: lab cluster performance practices, cache mount + survival across pod restarts (/root/.cache, VLLM_CACHE_ROOT, TORCHINDUCTOR_CACHE_DIR, TRITON_CACHE_DIR, "do we have caches saved"), HF_TOKEN secret in pod env, liveness + readiness probe tuning (initialDelaySeconds, failureThreshold, "pod takes 12 min to boot")…
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
# vLLM deployment (Kubernetes first, Docker lab, OpenShift sidebar) Target audience: platform engineers bringing up vLLM on production Kubernetes (H100/H200/B200/B300 fleets), and individual researchers running 1-to-2-node Docker / Podman setups in a lab. This skill is a **pointer map**. It points to the canonical sources — in the vLLM repo, in docs.vllm.ai, in the ecosystem repos, and to the load-bearing blog posts — rather than paraphrasing them. Paraphrase rots; pointers survive. ## Decision guide — pick the path | Situation | Go to | |---|---| | Single node, 1 container, TP ≤ 8 | `references/docker-lab.md` | | Single host, 2 containers for PD disagg lab | `references/docker-lab.md` (compose template) + `references/disagg.md` | | k8s, single model fits 1 pod | `references/pod-shape.md` + in-tree helm chart | | k8s, model needs multi-node TP/PP | `references/multi-node.md` (LWS + `multi-node-serving.sh`) | | k8s fleet, router + LMCache + observability bundled | `vllm-production-stack` (Helm) — see `references/ecosystem.md` | | k8s fleet, disagg P/D + KV-aware + GAIE + SLA scheduler | `llm-d` — see `references/ecosystem.md` | …

How to install
mdr add air-gapped/skills/vllm-deployment@sha256:6fe51c007a797edaThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.d292452, 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.
