What it does

Backend Gap Report is an agent skill from AMD-AGI/Primus. Compare a Primus backend against an upstream repository or reference, verify git state, dependencies, directory changes, and integration coupling, then generate comparison reports, dashboard metadata, and a deployable dashboard index. Also owns the shared Primus engineering dashboard under tools/backendgapreport/, which surfaces both backend-gap reports and weekly engineering reports as first-class sections. Use when comparing TorchTitan, Megatron, or other Primus backends with upstream branches, tags, or…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `examples.md` and `reference.md`).

It sits in Development. It works with Git and NVIDIA AI Platform. The repository describes itself as: A flexible and high-performance training framework designed for large-scale foundation model training on AMD GPUs.

When your agent uses it

  • Comparing TorchTitan
  • Other Primus backends with upstream branches
  • Integrating weekly engineering reports into the shared dashboard

Example prompts

  • “/backend-gap-report”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

9 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Establish the Comparison Baseline
  2. Verify Dependency Facts
  3. Verify Directory and Capability Changes
  4. Verify Primus Coupling
  5. Write the Reports
  6. Export PDFs
  7. Emit Dashboard Metadata
  8. Refresh the Dashboard Index
  9. Final Verification

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9b0ce90. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3
    • pandoc

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Backend Gap Report loads about 3.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 154 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,560 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~154
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,560 words (~3,416 tokens).

“Use this skill when the user asks to compare a Primus backend with upstream code and wants stable deliverables instead of ad hoc notes, or when integrating a different content type (e.g. weekly engineering reports) into the shared Primus engineering…”
