At a glance

  • Calls curl and git
  • Why a job is stuck

What it does

Ops is an agent skill from guaardvark/guaardvark. Operate a running Guaardvark: GPU and VRAM state, plugin start/stop, logs, Celery tasks, the Interconnector sync to other machines, overnight RAG autoresearch, and infographics. Use when the user asks what is using the GPU, why a job is stuck, to start or stop ComfyUI/Audio Foundry/Swarm, to sync another box, to run autoresearch, or to make an infographic.

Its SKILL.md is about 780 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 Media & Creative, covering Infographics, Diffusion and image models and Autonomous loops. It works with ComfyUI, Model Context Protocol and Ollama. The repository describes itself as: The self-hosted AI studio: local video, image, music, voice, LoRA training, coding swarms, RAG and screen agents on one GPU, driven from the Studio or by your coding agent… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks what is using the GPU
  • Why a job is stuck
  • Stop ComfyUI/Audio Foundry/Swarm
  • Sync another box

Example prompts

  • “/ops”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f022ceb. 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:

    • curl
    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl and 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

Ops loads about 779 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 257 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~91
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~779

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.

Operating Guaardvark

B=${GUAARDVARK_URL:-http://localhost:5000}. MCP tools: inspect_gpu, read_logs, swarm_status, self_improvement_status.

GPU and plugins

  • inspect_gpu (MCP): nvidia-smi, the exclusive lock (Ollama vs video), orchestrator slots, running plugins.
  • GET $B/api/plugins/status and GET $B/api/plugins/<id>/health; GET $B/api/plugins/stats/gpu.
  • POST $B/api/plugins/<id>/start | stop | restart | enable | disable for ollama, comfyui, audio_foundry, upscaling, lora_trainer, swarm, vision_pipeline, discord, gpu_embedding, video_editor. Start services through these routes, never with systemctl; the orchestrator must know what is resident.
  • GET $B/api/plugins/<id>/logs?lines=200 for a plugin's own log.
  • Memory orchestrator: GET $B/api/gpu/memory/status, GET/POST $B/api/gpu/memory/tier. POST .../evict {"slot_id"} frees a slot; use only when the user asks to clear the card.

Logs and tasks

  • read_logs (MCP) tails a file under logs/ (backend, celery, plugin logs).
  • GET $B/api/celery/tasks shows active Celery tasks; GET $B/api/meta/... job routes list and retry jobs (POST $B/api/meta/retry_job/<job_id>, POST $B/api/meta/cancel_job/<job_id>).
  • A "stuck" job is usually the GPU lock held by another plugin: check inspect_gpu before retrying.

Interconnector (other machines sync from this one)

  • GET $B/api/interconnector/status, GET .../nodes, GET .../sync/history?limit=20.
  • POST $B/api/interconnector/sync/manual with {"direction": "push", "entities": [...], "sync_files": true, "profile_name": "..."}; POST .../nodes/<node_id>/test checks a link.
  • Other boxes never git pull; they sync through this. A frontend change needs a bundle rebuild there afterwards.

Autoresearch (overnight RAG tuning)

POST $B/api/autoresearch/start {"mode": "...", "budget_hours": 6}; GET .../status, GET .../runs, GET .../runs/<run_id>/ledger; POST .../stop. Promotions of a better config are explicit: POST .../promotions/<config_id>/activate, POST .../promotions/revert.

Infographic

bash
curl -s -X POST $B/api/infographic/generate -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{
  "title": "Three numbers", "scene": "clean flat design, navy and white",
  "callouts": ["42% faster", "0 cloud calls", "1 GPU"], "hashtags": ["#localai"], "footer": "guaardvark.com",
  "style": "flat", "aspect": "1:1", "seed": 3
}'

GET $B/api/infographic/status for the job; the image lands in outputs.

Rules

  • Restarting a plugin kills its jobs. Check the queues and say so before restarting.
  • Never restart the backend or Celery from here; tell the user what to run in the checkout.

Ops is an agent skill from guaardvark/guaardvark. Operate a running Guaardvark: GPU and VRAM state, plugin start/stop, logs, Celery tasks, the Interconnector sync to other machines, overnight RAG autoresearch, and infographics.

When should I use Ops?

Ops fits situations like: the user asks what is using the GPU; why a job is stuck; stop ComfyUI/Audio Foundry/Swarm; sync another box.

How do I install Ops in Claude Code?

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

How do I install Ops in Codex?

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

Can I use Ops 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 guaardvark/guaardvark --skill ops -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/ops, .gemini/skills/ops, .github/skills/ops and .opencode/skills/ops in your project.

What does Ops need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Ops needs the command-line tools its instructions call (curl and git).

Does Ops access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use curl and git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Ops 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 Ops use?

Ops is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Ops use?

About 779 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.1k 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 Ops?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Ops: Local LLM Free (artokun/comfyui-mcp, 795 stars), ComfyUI Local Driver (SlavaSexton/ComfyUI-Agent-Kit, 105 stars), Scenario Workflow Authoring (scenario-labs/skills, 913 stars) and Comfyui Skill Openclaw (HuangYuChuh/ComfyUI_Skills_OpenClaw, 411 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
