What it does

Build Vllm Onednn Zendnn is an agent skill from amd/ZenDNN. Build vLLM (CPU) end-to-end with the oneDNN + ZenDNN (zen64) backend via direct integration (NO zentorch). Use when asked to build vLLM CPU against oneDNN/ZenDNN or produce a ZenDNN-enabled vLLM wheel. Orchestrates the ZenDNN native lib (via the build-zendnn skill), upstream oneDNN source prep, a conda build env, the vLLM build, and two-tier verification.

Its SKILL.md is about 5.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `build_wheel.sh` and `create_env.sh`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering LLM inference and serving. It works with vLLM and C++.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to build vLLM CPU against oneDNN/ZenDNN
  • Produce a ZenDNN-enabled vLLM wheel

Example prompts

  • “/build-vllm-onednn-zendnn”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Stage 0 — Confirm inputs. Resolve the inputs above with the user
  2. Stage 1 — ZenDNN native lib. **Invoke the existing build-zendnn
  3. Stage 2 — oneDNN source prep (NO build). Use **upstream
  4. Stage 3 — Conda build env. Drive this with the bundled
  5. Stage 4 — vLLM build. Drive this with the bundled build_wheel.sh
  6. Stage 5 — Verification (BOTH tiers).

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e3f4c4d. 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

    Ships script files (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • pip
    • bash
    • conda

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com
    • download.pytorch.org

    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

Build Vllm Onednn Zendnn loads about 5.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,323 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~96
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5.2k

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 2,323 words (~5,169 tokens).

“Take a user from clean repos to a working, verified vLLM CPU build using the direct oneDNN → vLLM CPU integration path (no zentorch). This skill encodes the flow as a linear, stop-on-failure orchestration.”
