compute-env-setup SKILL.md skillA
compute-env-setup from yichen-zju/claude-for-research is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add yichen-zju/claude-for-research/compute-env-setup@git:20260930.9b33ccfPins git:20260930.9b33ccf in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Set up a reproducible compute environment for research jobs. Use when a task needs Python/R packages, GPU libraries, containers, Modal, SSH, caches, or managed model runtime setup.
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
# Compute Environment Setup Use this skill before running a research job that needs a nontrivial runtime. Workflow: 1. Identify the job type, hardware need, data size, package stack, secrets, and expected artifacts. 2. Choose the smallest working route: local notebook runtime, project virtualenv/conda, Modal, SSH/Slurm, or managed endpoint. 3. Verify credentials and CLIs through environment variables or CLI status checks without printing secret values. 4. Write an environment note containing package versions, install commands, cache paths, hardware, and failure modes. 5. Run a tiny smoke job before the expensive job and save the smoke logs. The done state is a recorded, reproducible environment plus a successful smoke or a precise missing dependency.

How to install
mdr add yichen-zju/claude-for-research/compute-env-setup@sha256:dc9355b72be43914The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.9b33ccf, 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.
