xpu-runtime-preflight SKILL.md skillA
xpu-runtime-preflight from intel/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Run a read-only go/no-go preflight before any Intel GPU/XPU skillpack work. Checks the GPU driver binding, /dev/dri permissions, render/video groups, Docker, /dev/shm, disk, proxy, and optional container-level XPU visibility; captures health and kernel-log evidence. Use when the user asks whether a machine is ready for XPU model work or needs a reusable lab readiness report. Not for launching workloads, pulling images, editing system config, or verifying model output.
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.

# xpu-runtime-preflight
Use this as the shared readiness gate before Intel GPU/XPU skills in
this pack. It answers "is this host/container ready for the requested
skill path?", reports a `READY` / `READY WITH WARNINGS` / `BLOCKED`
verdict, and routes failures to focused skills. It does not start model
servers, run benchmarks, capture profiles, restart Docker, pull large
images, edit system configuration, or validate generated content.
## When To Use
Run this before a model run, benchmark, profile, or container workflow
when readiness depends on more than GPU discovery. Use `xpu-discover`
for device inventory and driver health; use this skill for the broader
go/no-go path: `/dev/dri`, groups, Docker, shared memory, disk, proxy
and network checks, plus optional container XPU visibility.
If preflight finds a blocker, follow the generated `SUMMARY.md` handoff.
Do not duplicate routing guidance in this skill body.
## Quick start
```sh
scripts/check_runtime_preflight.sh \
--target-gpu 0 \

How to install
mdr add intel/skills/xpu-runtime-preflight@sha256:e194e429539a1b9eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261012.23c7a29, 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.
