sol-skill SKILL.md skillB

sol-skill from shu-wan/solx is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add shu-wan/solx/sol-skill@v1.0.5

Pins v1.0.5 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Conventions and tooling for ASU's Sol supercomputer, built around the `solx` CLI. Use whenever a task is happening on Sol - the user mentions Sol or ASU Research Computing, or is clearly on their Sol account (a Sol /scratch path, an sbatch/interactive job, a login/compute node). It covers renewing /scratch files Sol has flagged for deletion (purge/inactivity warnings) via `solx keep` and where to store datasets and model caches; requesting and managing SLURM jobs…

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.

That official doc is authoritative; these notes are just a cache.

## What this skill helps with

This skill teaches an AI coding assistant how to operate on ASU's Sol
supercomputer the way a careful human user would. The everyday job and
scratch operations are driven through **`solx`**, a small CLI this skill
installs and prefers; the rest is situational guidance for Sol's native
tools. Concretely, it covers:

- **Driving `solx`** - the CLI for daily Sol work: request and
  manage interactive allocations (`solx job start/list/jump/time/stop`)
  and renew flagged `/scratch` files (`solx keep`). The skill installs
  it on first use and prefers it.
- **Detecting the environment** - recognizing whether the agent is
  running on a Sol login/compute node or on a laptop, and branching
  behavior accordingly.
- **Storage decisions** - putting datasets, model weights, and caches
  under `/scratch/$USER` and keeping `/home` for config; never asking
  for `sudo`.
- **Scratch retention** - renewing flagged files and directory trees
  with `solx keep`, using unified or legacy warning CSVs and the `[keep]`
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add shu-wan/solx/sol-skill@sha256:32a8978d540b3ed0

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.5, 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.
