gke-batch-hpc SKILL.md skillA

gke-batch-hpc from gke-labs/kube-agents is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add gke-labs/kube-agents/gke-batch-hpc@git:20261019.982e177

Pins git:20261019.982e177 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Runs batch and HPC workloads on GKE, utilizing job queues and parallel processing. Use when running GKE batch jobs, configuring GKE HPC, or setting up GKE job queues. Don't use for standard web application deployments (use gke-app-onboarding instead).

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

# GKE Batch & HPC Workloads

This reference covers running batch processing and high-performance computing
(HPC) workloads on GKE.

> **MCP Tools:** `get_k8s_resource`, `describe_k8s_resource`, `get_k8s_logs`,
> `list_k8s_events`
>
> A change goes out as a pull request to the GitOps repository, never as a write from here: Kubernetes objects as YAML through `gke-manifest-generation`, cluster settings and other Google Cloud resources as Config Connector YAML through `gcp-config-connector`, opened with `submit-suggestion`. Each profile's config offers only the `gke` MCP server's read tools, and the broker refuses `kubectl` and `gcloud` writes.

## When to Use

-   Running batch data processing pipelines
-   HPC simulations (CFD, molecular dynamics, financial modeling)
-   Large-scale parallel computation (MPI, MapReduce)
-   ML training jobs
-   CI/CD build farms

## Batch Processing on GKE

### Kubernetes Jobs

```yaml
apiVersion: batch/v1
kind: Job
metadata:
  name: batch-job
spec:
  parallelism: 10
  completions: 100
  backoffLimit: 3
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: worker
        image: <IMAGE>
        resources:
          requests:
            cpu: "1"

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gke-labs/kube-agents/gke-batch-hpc@sha256:c997bf748f568d44

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.982e177, 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.
