Slurm Idle Node Check

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user wants to find usable idle nodes
• Verify node health
• Check docker status on SLURM nodes
• Check NIC QoS/DCQCN configuration

Example prompts

• “/slurm-idle-node-check”

Requirements

• Docker

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Obtain Idle Node List
2. 2Ensure SSH Access
3. 3Run Health Checks (Parallel)
4. 4Display Results
5. 5Summary
6. 6Save Report to File

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0f99649. 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:

  • docker
  • ssh
  • node
  • bash

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

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use docker and ssh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

  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

Slurm Idle Node Check loads about 3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 931 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~74

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~3k

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.

  - **Never overwrite** `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` — always **append**.

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 931 words (~2,957 tokens).
