Scaffold a new CV-CUDA operator — a complete, wired, building skeleton — and delegate the implementation to a human or another AI.

  • Asked to set up / stub out a new operator without implementing it
  • Calls python3
  • Bootstrap one for someone else to finish

What it does

Make Op Scaffold is an agent skill from CVCUDA/CV-CUDA. Scaffold a new CV-CUDA operator — a complete, wired, building skeleton — and delegate the implementation to a human or another AI. Use when asked to set up / stub out a new operator without implementing it, or to bootstrap one for someone else to finish. Supports --bare (skip the spec when the definition itself is delegated).

Its SKILL.md is about 310 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 AI & LLM Engineering. It works with CUDA, NVIDIA AI Platform and Python. 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 set up / stub out a new operator without implementing it
  • Bootstrap one for someone else to finish

Example prompts

  • “/make-op-scaffold”

Requirements

  • Python 3

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 Scaffold loads about 306 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 103 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~86
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~306

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 103 words (~306 tokens).
