accelerated-computing-cudf SKILL.md skillA

accelerated-computing-cudf from nvidia/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add nvidia/skills/accelerated-computing-cudf@git:20261015.7efb297

Pins git:20261015.7efb297 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Official NVIDIA-authored guidance for NVIDIA cuDF GPU DataFrames, pandas acceleration, dask-cuDF, ETL, joins, groupby, CSV/Parquet I/O, nullable semantics, and multi-GPU DataFrame workloads.

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

# cuDF & dask-cuDF Implementer's Guide

## Compatibility

- Development release tracked by this skill: 26.12 (`VERSION`: `26.12.00`). Use the selected installed release for deployment requirements.
- Read `dependencies.yaml` for the support matrix (`py_version` group for Python versions, `cuda_version` for CUDA versions). Match cuDF, pylibcudf, libcudf, and RMM release versions, and match pip wheel suffixes (`-cu12` / `-cu13`) to the CUDA major version.
- Requires a supported NVIDIA GPU and compatible driver. Check the [installation requirements](https://docs.nvidia.com/datascience/install/#system-req) for the selected release and CUDA version.
- For another checkout or installed release, check `VERSION`, `dependencies.yaml`, `python/cudf/pyproject.toml`, and `cudf.__version__` before choosing versions or relying on an API.

## Naming

Use NVIDIA library-first wording in user-facing answers. Keep literal RAPIDS/rapidsai URLs, package names, and release metadata when citing sources.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nvidia/skills/accelerated-computing-cudf@sha256:f46d744980c5ea4b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.7efb297, 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.
