Cloud & Compute AI skills

Match compute resources to the workload.

Review memory, accelerator, scheduling and data-transfer requirements before choosing a compute workflow. A free skill may still depend on paid infrastructure.

Before you start
Start with a small job, set resource limits and verify shutdown behaviour. Never place credentials in public notebooks or repositories.

get-available-resources

Detects host inventory and effective CPU, memory, disk, scheduler, container, and accelerator limits when a user asks for resource-aware planning or before a clearly resource-sensitive local workload. Produces a redacted JSON snapshot and conservative planning helpers without stress tests or assuming visible host hardware is usable.

Cloud & Compute

modal

Modal is a serverless cloud platform for running Python on demand, including on-demand GPUs. Use when deploying or serving AI/ML models, running GPU-accelerated workloads (training, fine-tuning, inference), serving web endpoints, scheduling batch jobs, or scaling Python code to cloud containers with the Modal SDK.

Cloud & Compute

nextflow

Builds, runs, and debugs Nextflow DSL2 pipelines and nf-core workflows. Use for Nextflow, nf-core, .nf files, nextflow.config, processes/channels/operators, samplesheets, nf-test, modules/subworkflows, container and executor configuration, HPC/SLURM or cloud deployment, and failed or resumed pipeline runs.

optimize-for-gpu

GPU-accelerates scientific Python on NVIDIA hardware and verifies that the result is correct and faster. Use for CUDA/GPU optimization; CPU-bound NumPy, SciPy, pandas, scikit-learn, NetworkX, scikit-image, vector-search, image-processing, graph, simulation, or file-I/O workloads; CuPy, cuDF, cuML, cuGraph, cuVS, cuCIM, KvikIO, Warp, Newton, Numba-CUDA, or RAFT questions; and profiling, memory-transfer, kernel, or multi-GPU bottlenecks. Also use when large data-parallel Python code is slow and GPU acceleration is a plausible option, even if the user does not name CUDA.
