gpu-host-tuning — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited gpu-host-tuning (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
Host-side tuning + audit for Linux GPU inference servers. Sits beneath any inference framework (vLLM, sglang, TensorRT-LLM, llama.cpp). Three modes:
This file is a pointer map. The actual logic lives in scripts/ and the authoritative references in references/.
# From the skill directory — typically ~/.claude/skills/gpu-host-tuning
# (personal) or .claude/skills/gpu-host-tuning (project install).
# Audit (read-only, ~60s)
./scripts/collect.sh
# Audit + pinned-memcpy bench (needs torch + CUDA, ~5 min)
./scripts/collect.sh --benchThe script prompts for the output parent dir on first interactive run and remembers the choice. Override via --out <dir> or HOST_AUDIT_DIR=<dir>. Default snapshot dirname is gpu-host-tuning-<host>-<UTC>.
One file per probe, numbered by section. See references/probe-interpretation.md for the full file-by-file decoder.
| Section | What |
|---|---|
00-09 meta | collector version, run timestamp, args |
10-19 system + firmware | dmidecode (BIOS, CPU, memory DIMMs), lshw, /sys/class/dmi |
20-29 CPU + power + C-states | governor, EPP, intel_pstate / amd_pstate, cpuidle states + disable mask, turbostat 5s residency, microcode, vulnerabilities, thermal zones |
30-39 memory + NUMA | numactl -H, /proc/meminfo, THP, numa_balancing, vm tunables, hugepages |
40-49 kernel + limits | uname, /etc/os-release, /proc/cmdline, sysctl -a, ulimit, /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities, dmesg, IRQ affinity, env vars in vllm processes |
50-59 PCIe | lspci tree + verbose, AER counters, link width/speed for every NVIDIA device |
60-69 GPU | nvidia-smi -q full, topo -m, nvlink --status, clocks/power/ECC, dmon 5s, dcgmi diag |
70-79 network | NICs, IB (ibstat / ibv_devinfo), ethtool ring sizes, RDMA links |
80-89 storage | lsblk, NVMe id-ctrl, smartctl, mount flags, io scheduler |
90-99 container runtime | containerd version, CDI specs, cgroup v2, kubelet config, RKE2 config |
| Mode | What | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Audit | ./scripts/collect.sh writes the snapshot directory | references/probe-interpretation.md decodes each numbered file |
| Bench | ./scripts/collect.sh --bench adds the pinned-memcpy CSV | references/session-findings.md lists baselines per chassis |
| Tune | No script — apply individual levers from the cheat-sheet | references/recommended-tunings.md (lever-by-lever) and references/tuned-profiles.md (apply via tuned-adm) |

Two snapshots on the same host (e.g., pre-tune and post-tune) can be compared with diff -ruN snap_pre/ snap_post/. For a structured impact ranking, use references/probe-interpretation.md to interpret deltas.
