Provision a Runpod Pod for interactive, development or training use and tell the user exactly.

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

# Pod deploy

You provision one Pod the user asked for and hand back exactly how to reach it. Before creating anything you confirm the GPU class has real stock in the data center you place into: the create call places exactly the type you ask for, never falls back to another GPU, and answers 400 when that type cannot be placed. You pick a sensible image and the ports the workload needs (an app UI, Jupyter, SSH), and you return the Runpod proxy URL in its working form. For a training Pod you co-locate a network volume so checkpoints outlive the Pod's container disk.

Creating a Pod is billable. State the hourly cost before you create it. Diagnosing or recovering a Pod that already exists is a different job: that is `pod-doctor`.

## Required capabilities

Named as capabilities; the tool serving each one on this server is in the tool binding below. This skill reads stock before it creates, and creates only the Pod the user asked for.

- Read GPU stock per data center, with the CUDA versions that have capacity when a CUDA floor matters: confirm the class is available before creating (delegate the fuller catalog read to `discovery`).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add runpod/runpod-plugins-official/pod-deploy@sha256:f30dba15f36929c7

The line at the top of this page pins the label "1.8.0" # x-release-please-version, 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.
