compute-sanitizer-diagnose-cuda-bugs

by skills

Detect and diagnose CUDA correctness bugs with NVIDIA Compute Sanitizer. Routes GPU memory errors, shared-memory data races, uninitialized-memory reads, and synchronization/barrier bugs to the right sub-tool (memcheck, racecheck, initcheck, synccheck) and explains how to build, run, and read the report. Use when debugging illegal memory access, out-of-bounds, misaligned access, leaks, WAW/WAR/RAW races, __shared__ hazards, uninitialized reads, garbage results, hangs, divergent __syncthreads/__syncwarp, or cuda::barrier / wgmma issues. Do NOT use for host/CPU-side bugs (use valgrind or AddressSanitizer) or global-memory data races (out of scope). Trigger keywords - compute-sanitizer, memcheck, racecheck, initcheck, synccheck, CUDA memory error, OOB, race condition, uninitialized memory, __syncthreads, barrier, deadlock.

web-performance-auditorAI-powered web performance auditor for frontend and web developers. Use it to audit a website or web app, diagnose poor Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP) and low Lighthouse scores, review JavaScript bundle size, code splitting, lazy loading, image and font loading, hydration, React rendering, Next.js/Nuxt patterns, network waterfalls, third-party scripts, and caching. Produces a prioritized, senior-engineer performance audit with a score and concrete fixes.11 installsdoca-rdmiUse this skill when the user is doing hands-on DOCA RDMI (RDMA Initiator) programming — picking doca-rdmi vs doca-rdma for an accelerator-initiated one-sided RDMA flow, standing up a doca_rdmi_connection or doca_rdmi_poster, attaching a doca_dpa_completion or doca_verbs_cq before doca_ctx_start(), retrieving the DPA-side handle for a DPA kernel, auditing whether a doca_rdmi_* symbol is EXPERIMENTAL on this DOCA, or debugging DOCA_ERROR_* returns from RDMI calls. Trigger even when the user does not say "DOCA RDMI" or "initiator" — implicit phrasings include "my DPA kernel needs to post RDMA writes to a remote responder", "DPA kernel sees no completions", "function not found on doca_rdmi_* at link time", "DOCA_ERROR_BAD_STATE from completion attach", or "the DPA posted but the work request never arrived". Refuse and route elsewhere for two-sided or host-CPU RDMA, the DPA programming model, GPU-side RDMA initiation, or general RDMA/IB/RoCE concepts — those belong to other skills.0 installstao-artifactsThe contract home for TAO's SDK-free execution pipeline — authoritative JSON Schemas for the four typed artifacts (spec-bundle, job-record, results_dir layout, best_rec) plus the fixed job-status vocabulary and the nested-not-dotted spec rule. Use when authoring or validating a spec-bundle before submit, writing or reading a .tao/jobs job-record, resolving where results land, or consuming AutoML's best_rec.json. Trigger phrases include "validate the spec bundle", "job record schema", "status vocabulary", "results_dir layout", "best_rec schema".0 installsamc-setup-calibration-stackLaunch AutoMagicCalib microservice and web UI from NGC release images via Docker Compose. Use when user says 'deploy auto calibration', 'launch auto calibration', 'launch AMC', 'start MS+UI', or 'set up auto-magic-calib'. Requires NGC API key.0 installsearth2studio-discoverFind Earth2Studio models, data sources, and examples for a weather/climate use case. Do NOT use for writing inference code, downloading data, or installation.0 installsjetson-video-benchmarkUse when measuring Jetson Video Codec SDK or PyNvVideoCodec encode/decode throughput, comparing presets or surfaces, testing codec-worker capacity with authenticated samples and user media, or producing a clearly labeled documentation-derived planning estimate when representative media is absent. Also use for a video request limited to PSNR or SSIM, to apply the terminal scope response.0 installs

Check drivers, manage and optimize games, configure laptop features.2 installstao-run-automlRun container-backed AutoML / hyperparameter optimization (HPO) for NVIDIA TAO networks using AutoMLRunner. Handles algorithm selection (bayesian, hyperband, asha, bohb, llm, hybrid, autoresearch), WandB experiment tracking, job execution on any TAO SDK platform, result interpretation, and per-rec custom evaluation hooks. Use when the user mentions TAO AutoML, hyperparameter optimization, HPO, automl, automl_settings, AutoMLRunner, tao_automl, bayesian search, hyperband, ASHA, LLM-guided search, autoresearch, or wants to tune train/evaluate/inference/distill/prune/quantize for a TAO network. Model actions use the resolved image; venv training requires an explicit request. Platform-agnostic — runs on any SDK (Brev, SLURM, Kubernetes, Docker). Do not use generic "keep improving" language alone to override a matching domain-specific DEFT workflow; attribute-labelled CLIP / SigLIP image-retrieval loops belong to tao-run-deft-pas unless HPO is explicit.1 installsethos-exploreCaptures what an AI agent is supposed to do — its purpose, boundaries, and success criteria — as a durable snapshot for anyone building, evaluating, reviewing, or changing it. Explores the user's codebase and docs first, then asks one intent question at a time for what source cannot supply. Hands its answers to ethos-write, which writes ethos.md. Use over generic brainstorming when the goal is an agent's ethos.md.0 installsjetson-video-recipeUse when turning a Jetson encoder use case into one surface-neutral recipe with native Video Codec SDK and PyNvVideoCodec projections.0 installsamc-run-sample-calibrationRun end-to-end calibration on the shipped sample dataset (sdg_08_2_sample_data_010926.zip) against a running AMC microservice. Use when user says 'test sample dataset', 'run sample calibration', 'verify AMC install', or 'launch and test'.0 installsmsa-search-nimGenerate multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) for protein sequences using the ColabFold MSA-Search NIM. Use for homolog search, UniRef30/ColabFold env searches, A3M or FASTA alignments, paired MSA search for complexes, PDB70 structural templates, hosted NVIDIA API calls, or local Docker deployment. For local deployment, download the databases in parallel with aria2c and launch via NIM_MODEL_NAME (the recommended default fast path, ~14 min vs over 80 min for the built-in downloader); a plain docker run uses the slow built-in downloader.0 installs
