What it does

Make Op is an agent skill from CVCUDA/CV-CUDA. Add a new CV-CUDA operator end-to-end per .agents/guidance/MAKEOPGUIDELINES.md, with a deterministically-enforced definition-of-done. Use when asked to create/add a new operator, scaffold one, or verify that a new operator is complete (approved spec, wired scaffold, bit-exact regression tests across the declared support matrix, required layout parity, complement negatives, docs + relnote, benched dtypes, tests that run and pass, optimization-ready).

Its SKILL.md is about 830 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 Testing & QA. It works with CUDA, Python and NVIDIA AI Platform. The repository describes itself as: CV-CUDA™ is an open-source, GPU accelerated library for cloud-scale image processing and computer vision.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to create/add a new operator
  • Verify that a new operator is complete (approved spec
  • Bit-exact regression tests across the declared support matrix
  • Required layout parity

Example prompts

  • “/make-op”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Spec & approval (Part 0) — propose the operator's semantics + a cited reference oracle
  2. Scaffold — tools/mkop/mkop.sh → the wired skeleton; gate with
  3. Implement — kernel + an independent CPU gold reference + tests/bench per the COV-* rules
  4. Done gate — python3 tools/make_op.py --phase done --run: composes /review-op
  5. Calibrate + seed baselines — calibrate each bench config to 1–2 ms nvbench GPU time
  6. Hand off to /optimize-op for the performance campaign.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b051f32. 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:

    • python3

    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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Make Op loads about 831 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 116 tokens; SKILL.md has 340 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~116
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~831

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 340 words (~831 tokens).
