replicate SKILL.md skillA
replicate from ericrisco/rsc-harness is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add ericrisco/rsc-harness/replicate@git:20260729.086c7b3Pins git:20260729.086c7b3 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when running, packaging, deploying or scaling a model on the Replicate platform from code — blocking run versus async predictions, handling FileOutput, deployments with warm private endpoints and autoscaling, packaging with Cog, verifying webhook signatures, and cutting GPU spend. NOT crafting image prompts and parameters or picking image model families (that is `replicate-images`).
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
# Replicate platform operations This skill is about **how a model runs in production on Replicate** — clients, async, deployments, Cog packaging, webhooks, scaling, and spend. It is the platform-engineering counterpart to image prompt craft. If the question is *what prompt, aspect ratio, or model family produces a good image*, that is `replicate-images`, not this skill. Here the mental model is: **a prediction is a job. You either wait for it, poll it, or get pinged about it — and where it runs (shared cold pool vs a private warm deployment) is a cost-and-latency dial you set deliberately.** Pinned facts (verified 2026-06-02): Python client `replicate` 1.x (latest 1.0.7), Python 3.8+; JS client `replicate` on npm; auth via `REPLICATE_API_TOKEN`. A `2.0.0aN` alpha exists on PyPI but is NOT the default — pin `replicate>=1,<2` so a fresh install never silently pulls it. ## Decision: how should this model run? Pick the row by latency tolerance and whether your process can block. Do not default to `run()` for everything — a 10-minute job inside a web request will time out and burn a worker. | Pattern | Latency | Blocks your process? | Cost shape | Use when | |---|---|---|---|---| …

How to install
mdr add ericrisco/rsc-harness/replicate@sha256:a0f8c4c442506f6aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260729.086c7b3, 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.
