skills CLI
$ npx skills add cua-lite/cua-lite --skill ckpt -a claude-code

Project install by default; add -g for ~/.claude/skills/.

GitHub CLI
$ gh skill install cua-lite/cua-lite ckpt --agent claude-code

Project scope by default; add --scope user for a personal install. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or later (public preview).

Manual copy
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/cua-lite/cua-lite.git skills-src && mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r skills-src/.claude/skills/ckpt .claude/skills/ckpt && rm -rf skills-src

Use ~/.claude/skills/ instead of .claude/skills for a personal install. The folder must contain SKILL.md.

What it does

Ckpt is an agent skill from cua-lite/cua-lite. Manage training checkpoints — export from the slime container to the host .ckpts/ directory with a runinfo.txt for full reproducibility.

Its SKILL.md is about 800 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Research & Science, covering Reproducible research. The repository describes itself as: CUA-Lite: An Open Platform for Computer-Use Agents.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Reproducible research

Example prompts

  • “/ckpt”

Requirements

  • Docker

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the checkpoint in the container
  2. Get the eval timestamp for the checkpoint iter from training logs.
  3. Copy checkpoint from container to host
  4. Write run_info.txt in the hf/ directory (one level above iter dirs — shared across all iters of the same run). Must contain all…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 65a61c4. 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

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

  • Network

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

Ckpt loads about 800 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 221 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~800

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 221 words (~800 tokens).

“Checkpoint operations. $ARGUMENTS starts with a subcommand.”
