Validate SLURM cluster nodes by running actual training jobs in groups.

  • Works in 6 steps: Pre-flight Checks → Get Idle Nodes and Form Groups → Launch Training Jobs → …
  • The user wants to test which idle nodes can successfully run training
  • SKILL.md covers Prerequisites, Workflow and Important Notes
  • Calls bash; needs HF_TOKEN

What it does

Slurm Training Node Validation is an agent skill from AMD-AGI/Primus. Validate SLURM cluster nodes by running actual training jobs in groups. Use when the user wants to test which idle nodes can successfully run training, verify node health through real workloads, or identify broken nodes in a SLURM cluster.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

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

  • The user wants to test which idle nodes can successfully run training
  • Verify node health through real workloads
  • Identify broken nodes in a SLURM cluster

Example prompts

  • “/slurm-training-node-validation”

Requirements

  • Docker

Workflow steps

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

  1. Pre-flight Checks
  2. Get Idle Nodes and Form Groups
  3. Launch Training Jobs
  4. Wait and Monitor
  5. Check Results and Write Status Files
  6. Display Results

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:

    • bash

    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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • HF_TOKEN

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

Context cost

Slurm Training Node Validation loads about 3.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,108 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.7k

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 1,108 words (~3,652 tokens).

“Launch short training jobs on groups of idle nodes to determine which nodes are healthy enough to run real workloads.”
