What it does

Build Zendnn is an agent skill from amd/ZenDNN. Build the standalone ZenDNN native library (zendnnl) from source with the alternate compute backends OFF (no oneDNN, libxsmm, parlooper, fbgemm), keeping AOCL DLP, which is the GEMM backend zendnnl links against. Use when asked to build ZenDNN alone, produce the zendnnl install tree for zentorch/vLLM, or set up the "zendnn-only" backend. This is the single source of truth for ZenDNN backend build steps — the zentorch repo invokes this skill via its thirdparty/ZenDNN submodule.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file.

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

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to build ZenDNN alone
  • Produce the zendnnl install tree for zentorch/vLLM
  • Set up the zendnn-only backend

Example prompts

  • “zendnn-only”
  • “/build-zendnn”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Check out the ref in the ZenDNN repo
  2. Configure (zendnn-only) — turn off the four alternate compute backends
  3. Build (this also installs — see below)
  4. Record the install path for downstream skills. $(pwd) here must be

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • cmake

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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

Build Zendnn loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 124 tokens; SKILL.md has 940 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~124
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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 940 words (~2,039 tokens).

“Produce a clean zendnnl build + install tree from a chosen ZenDNN git ref. This install tree is the ZenDNN backend consumed by downstream builds — e.g. zentorch (third_party/ZenDNN submodule) and the vLLM CPU integration.”
