What it does

Optimize Op is an agent skill from CVCUDA/CV-CUDA. Drive a single-operator optimization campaign per .agents/guidance/OPTIMIZATIONGUIDELINES.md, with a deterministically enforced definition-of-done and versioned MR summary. Use when asked to optimize an operator, run or finish a performance campaign, generate or refresh its MR performance summary, or verify that a perf MR satisfies correctness, benchmark, baseline, lead-exhaustion, memory, and API/ABI gates.

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 AI & LLM Engineering. It works with Python, NVIDIA AI Platform and CUDA. 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 optimize an operator
  • Finish a performance campaign
  • Refresh its MR performance summary
  • Verify that a perf MR satisfies correctness

Example prompts

  • “/optimize-op”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Run python3 tools/optimize_op.py --phase preflight. Resolve every
  2. Survey and baseline the full union expanded from all declared basic and
  3. Initialize the concise v1 MR summary from exact optimized case keys
  4. Refresh the description with reference-SKU evidence and finalize it
  5. Run the final gate

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

Optimize Op loads about 834 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 299 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~106
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~834

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 299 words (~834 tokens).

Questions about Optimize Op

What does Optimize Op do?

Drive a single-operator optimization campaign per .agents/guidance/OPTIMIZATIONGUIDELINES.md, with a deterministically enforced definition-of-done and versioned MR summary. Optimize Op is an agent skill from CVCUDA/CV-CUDA.md, with a deterministically enforced definition-of-done and versioned MR summary.

When should I use Optimize Op?

Optimize Op fits situations like: asked to optimize an operator; finish a performance campaign; refresh its MR performance summary; verify that a perf MR satisfies correctness.

How do I install Optimize Op in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add CVCUDA/CV-CUDA --skill optimize-op -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/optimize-op in CVCUDA/CV-CUDA) into .claude/skills/optimize-op in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Optimize Op in Codex?

Run `npx skills add CVCUDA/CV-CUDA --skill optimize-op -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/optimize-op in CVCUDA/CV-CUDA) into .agents/skills/optimize-op in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Optimize Op in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add CVCUDA/CV-CUDA --skill optimize-op -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/optimize-op, .gemini/skills/optimize-op, .github/skills/optimize-op and .opencode/skills/optimize-op in your project.

What does Optimize Op need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Optimize Op needs the command-line tools its instructions call (python3). Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Optimize Op access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Optimize Op safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Optimize Op use?

Optimize Op has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.

How many tokens does Optimize Op use?

About 834 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Optimize Op?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Optimize Op: Cutlass Skill (slowlyC/agent-gpu-skills, 169 stars), Triton Skill (slowlyC/agent-gpu-skills, 169 stars), Vllm Deploy Simple (vllm-project/vllm-skills, 103 stars) and Hyperpod Version Checker (awslabs/agent-plugins, 915 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
