$ npx skills add intel/torch-xpu-ops --skill setup -a claude-code

Project install by default; add -g for ~/.claude/skills/.

GitHub CLI
$ gh skill install intel/torch-xpu-ops setup --agent claude-code

Project scope by default; add --scope user for a personal install. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or later (public preview).

Manual copy
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/intel/torch-xpu-ops.git skills-src && mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r skills-src/.claude/skills/action/unitrace/setup .claude/skills/setup && rm -rf skills-src

Set up Intel GPU unitrace profiling tool. An agent skill from intel/torch-xpu-ops.

  • Works in 5 steps: Check if unitrace is already available → Check prerequisites → Clone and build → …
  • The user mentions unitrace
  • Calls cmake, python3 and git; reaches github.com
  • Intel GPU tracing

What it does

Setup is an agent skill from intel/torch-xpu-ops, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Set up Intel GPU unitrace profiling tool. Use this skill whenever the user mentions unitrace, Intel GPU tracing, pti-gpu tracing tool, GPU profiling with unitrace, or wants to build/install unitrace from source. Also trigger when the user asks about tracing Intel GPU workloads with unitrace, profiling SYCL/Level Zero/OpenCL applications on Intel GPUs using unitrace, or setting up pti-gpu tools. This skill handles checking if unitrace is already available, and if not, cloning and building it from source.

Its SKILL.md is about 570 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user mentions unitrace
  • Intel GPU tracing
  • Pti-gpu tracing tool
  • GPU profiling with unitrace

Example prompts

  • “/setup”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Check if unitrace is already available
  2. Check prerequisites
  3. Clone and build
  4. Add to PATH
  5. Verify

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0187b3b. 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:

    • cmake
    • python3
    • git
    • make

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    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

Setup loads about 566 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 129 tokens; SKILL.md has 113 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~129
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~566

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.

Intel unitrace Setup

Set up unitrace from Intel PTI-GPU. Always check PATH first before building.

Instructions

Step 1: Check if unitrace is already available
bash
which unitrace 2>/dev/null && unitrace --help > /dev/null 2>&1 && echo "UNITRACE_AVAILABLE" || echo "UNITRACE_NOT_FOUND"
  • If found: Report the path. Use it directly unless the user explicitly asks to rebuild.
  • If NOT found: Proceed to Step 2.
Step 2: Check prerequisites
bash
which g++ 2>/dev/null || which icpx 2>/dev/null || echo "NO_CXX_COMPILER"
cmake --version 2>/dev/null || echo "NO_CMAKE"
echo "CMPLR_ROOT=${CMPLR_ROOT:-NOT_SET}"
python3 --version 2>/dev/null || echo "NO_PYTHON"

Required:

  • CMake 3.22+
  • C++17 compiler (g++ or icpx)
  • Intel oneAPI (use the "source-oneapi" skill if not initialized)
  • Python 3.9+
Step 3: Clone and build

Default location: $HOME/.local/src/pti-gpu.

bash
mkdir -p "$HOME/.local/src"
cd "$HOME/.local/src"
git clone https://github.com/intel/pti-gpu.git
cd pti-gpu/tools/unitrace
mkdir -p build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make -j$(nproc)

If MPI is not available, add -DBUILD_WITH_MPI=0.

Build options:

OptionDefaultDescription
BUILD_WITH_MPI1MPI profiling
BUILD_WITH_ITT1oneCCL/oneDNN profiling
BUILD_WITH_XPTI1SYCL/UR profiling
BUILD_WITH_OPENCL1OpenCL profiling
Step 4: Add to PATH
bash
export PATH="$HOME/.local/src/pti-gpu/tools/unitrace/build:$PATH"
Step 5: Verify
bash
unitrace --help

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

What does Setup need to run?

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

Does Setup access the network?

SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: github.com; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Setup 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 Setup use?

Setup is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Setup use?

About 566 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
