What it does

Areno Profile Performance is an agent skill from inclusionAI/AReno. Measure and diagnose AReno rollout, prefill, decode, training, checkpoint, role-switch, communication, or Python scheduling performance. Use when throughput or step time is slow and evidence from metrics, py-spy, or Nsight is required. Do not optimize before correctness is established.

Its SKILL.md is about 850 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 12 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/profile-policy.md` and `scripts/build_nsys_command.py`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering. It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: An easy-to-use, fast toolkit to scale up RL post-training on a single node. The licence is Apache-2.0.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 25f5fed. 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

    Ships 7 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    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

Areno Profile Performance loads about 848 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 261 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~848
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.1k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Profile AReno Performance

Profile a bounded, representative train or serve workload. Collect low-overhead time, GPU, process, and TensorBoard evidence first; use sampling or tracing only after those signals identify the subsystem to inspect.

Workflow

  1. Record workload, commit, model, topology, token lengths, concurrency, GPU, and dependency versions.
  2. Find the parent AReno PID and monitor its process tree. For train jobs, attach during at least two post-warmup steps. For serve jobs, use a fixed request set and concurrency.
  3. Capture per-GPU utilization, memory, power, and target-process memory. Memory capacity, compute utilization, and throughput are separate signals.
  4. For train, list TensorBoard scalar names before selecting series. Summarize stage time, tokens/throughput, communication, optimizer, loss, and memory metrics that actually exist; do not assume fixed tags.
  5. For serve, measure TTFT and total request latency with streaming enabled while the GPU and process monitors run. Record prompt/output lengths and active concurrency.
  6. Exclude initialization, checkpoint load, compilation, and CUDA graph capture from steady-state conclusions, but report them separately when startup is the problem.
  7. Use py-spy record -p <pid> -o /tmp/areno.svg --duration 30 for Python scheduling, data processing, serialization, blocking I/O, or compilation orchestration.
  8. Use a bounded Nsight Systems capture for GPU compute, communication, synchronization, allocator activity, or launch gaps. Read references/profile-policy.md.
  9. Compare baseline and candidate with identical workloads and multiple steady-state observations, then re-run correctness validation after optimization.

Report raw workload metadata, selected window, GPU peak/average memory and utilization, process CPU/RSS, stage breakdown or TTFT/latency, bottleneck evidence, profiler overhead, and before/after metrics. A single warmup step is not a benchmark.
