insight-trace SKILL.md skillA

insight-trace from hw-native-sys/simpler is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Generate a MindStudio Insight trace for any `kernel_entry(args)` style kernel in this repo — SPMD mix, AIC-only single-task (e.g. `aic_pv_matmul`), or AIV-only single-task (e.g. `aiv_softmax_prepare`). Use when the user asks to "produce/generate/run an Insight trace", "trace this kernel under msprof op simulator", or troubleshoot Insight trace collection. AICore-only replay path — bypasses AICPU orchestration. For PTOAS-style kernels, use [PTOAS…

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

# Insight Trace for `kernel_entry(args)` Kernels

Builds a single mix-arch `.so` wrapper around a target `kernel_entry(args)`,
launches it under `msprof op simulator`, and exports the per-core
trace.json + instr_exe CSVs that MindStudio Insight consumes. The
recipe is self-contained and covers all three kernel shapes; it does
not assume any pre-existing workspace in `outputs/`.

## When to use

Required entry: `extern "C" __aicore__ void kernel_entry(__gm__ int64_t *args)`.

Three supported kernel shapes (Step 0 picks the right one):

| Shape | Example | Wrapper branches | Args layout |
| ----- | ------- | ---------------- | ----------- |
| **SPMD mix** | `tests/.../spmd_paged_attention/kernels/mix/paged_attention_parallel.cpp` | both `__DAV_CUBE__` *and* `__DAV_VEC__` include the kernel | slot 0..15 tensor/scalar, **slot 48/49 = `LocalContext*`/`GlobalContext*`** (per `intrinsic.h`) |
| **AIC-only task** | `tests/st/a2a3/.../paged_attention_unroll/kernels/aic/aic_pv_matmul.cpp`, `aic_qk_matmul.cpp` | only `__DAV_CUBE__` includes the kernel; `__DAV_VEC__` body is empty | positional ChipTensor pointers + scalars only; **no slot 48/49** |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add hw-native-sys/simpler/insight-trace@sha256:83e1f93ea6e3d2ca

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260804.b3bf3e7, 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.
