pull-llamacpp-model SKILL.md skillA

pull-llamacpp-model from av/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add av/skills/pull-llamacpp-model@git:20260330.d629481

Pins git:20260330.d629481 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when pulling or downloading a new llamacpp model. The active ROCm image (kyuz0/amd-strix-halo-toolboxes) fails to start in the ephemeral pull container without ROCm device access. Must temporarily switch to the standard CPU image.

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

# Pull a llamacpp Model

This machine uses `kyuz0/amd-strix-halo-toolboxes:rocm-7.2` for llamacpp inference (AMD Strix Halo / gfx1151 — not supported by the official ROCm build). Harbor's pull mechanism starts an ephemeral container with `--n-gpu-layers 0`; the custom image fails in that context without ROCm device access. Use the standard CPU image just for pulling, then restore.

## Steps

### 1. Switch to the standard CPU image

```bash
harbor config set llamacpp.image.rocm ghcr.io/ggml-org/llama.cpp:server
```

### 2. Pull the model

```bash
harbor pull <hf-owner/model-repo:quantization>
# Examples:
harbor pull bartowski/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct-GGUF:Q4_K_M
harbor pull unsloth/Mistral-Small-3.1-24B-Instruct-2503-GGUF:UD-Q4_K_XL
```

Harbor detects the HuggingFace model spec and routes it through llamacpp automatically.

### 3. Restore the custom image

```bash
harbor config set llamacpp.image.rocm kyuz0/amd-strix-halo-toolboxes:rocm-7.2
```

## Notes

- The restore step is mandatory — without it, llamacpp will not use the GPU on the next `harbor up llamacpp`
- Extra args (`-fa 1 -dio --no-mmap --ctx-size 64000 --fit off`) are stored separately in config and are not affected

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add av/skills/pull-llamacpp-model@sha256:7abe53df49ebc6bc

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260330.d629481, 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.
