xpu-discover SKILL.md skillA
xpu-discover from intel/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add intel/skills/xpu-discover@git:20260930.9cbbd40Pins git:20260930.9cbbd40 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Inventory Intel GPUs (Arc, Arc Pro) on a Linux host. Detect devices, collect driver, firmware and component-health evidence, list processes using each XPU, and read live utilisation.
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
# xpu-discover
`xpu-smi` is Intel's `nvidia-smi`. Sees only Intel GPUs (Arc, Arc
Pro, Battlemage, Flex, Max).
## Quickstart
Subcommands and flags differ between builds; `xpu-smi -h` lists what the
installed one supports (prefer `-h`: some builds reject `help`). Report an
absent subcommand rather than retrying it.
Run in order. If step 1 fails or has no devices, stop.
```sh
xpu-smi discovery # 1. inventory
xpu-smi health -l # 2. component health (power, frequency, temp)
journalctl -k --no-pager | grep -iE 'guc|huc|iommu|drm|\bxe\b|i915|level.?zero'
# 3. driver/firmware log evidence
xpu-smi ps # 4. processes using each GPU
xpu-smi stats -d 0 # 5. utilisation snapshot
xpu-smi dump --device 0 --metrics MEMORY,POWER --interval 1
# 6. live CSV stream (Ctrl-C)
```
The `xpu-smi` commands accept `-j` for JSON output (use when parsing).
Steps 2 and 3 are both needed: `health` covers power and thermals, the kernel
log covers driver and firmware. Neither certifies health, and a command that
runs is not a GPU that works.

How to install
mdr add intel/skills/xpu-discover@sha256:1565519a9e9a0ea7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.9cbbd40, 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.
