launch SKILL.md skillA
launch from fcakyon/labrat is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add fcakyon/labrat/launch@git:20261030.3dd54cfPins git:20261030.3dd54cf in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Pre-flight checklist for long-running ML training jobs covering config diff, run naming, path verification, monitoring setup, and restart-cleanup. Use when the user asks to launch, kick off, start, restart, or kill a training run, or mentions launching a multi-hour or multi-day GPU job (python train, accelerate launch, torchrun, deepspeed, sbatch, tmux training).
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
# Launch: pre-flight checklist for long ML training jobs Long training jobs are expensive to fail. A 12-hour run that crashes on epoch 3 from a missing dataset path or a default `workers=8` against an NFS mount is a full day lost. This skill walks six quick checks before you commit the GPUs. The agentic Stop hook in this plugin will route here from `reason` when an assistant tries to launch a run without going through the checklist. ## When to run The user just asked to: - launch / kick off / start / fire up a training run - restart a run that died - kill a current run (also runs the cleanup half of the checklist) - review a launch command before submitting Or the user is about to run any of: `python train.py`, `accelerate launch`, `torchrun`, `deepspeed`, `sbatch train.sh`, `tmux new-session ... python ... train`, `wandb sweep`. ## The checklist ### 1. Config diff against a reference run The most expensive failure is launching with the wrong knobs. Before starting: ```bash find configs/ recipes/ experiments/ -maxdepth 3 \( -name '*.yaml' -o -name '*.yml' -o -name '*.json' -o -name '*.toml' \) -mtime -30 2> /dev/null | head ``` …

How to install
mdr add fcakyon/labrat/launch@sha256:92e5271d791ef8bdThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.3dd54cf, 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.
