  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Vastai Migration Deep Dive is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Migrate a GPU workload from another provider to Vast.ai through inventory, container and data parity, a checkpointed canary, measured comparison, and rollback. Use when planning or executing a provider cutover. Trigger with: "migrate Runpod to Vast.ai", "move GPU jobs to Vast.ai", "validate a Vast.ai migration".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/official-docs.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires source-provider inventory, portable workload artifacts, Vast.ai capacity, external storage, and an approved rollback window.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Deployment. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Executing a provider cutover
  • With: migrate Runpod to Vast.ai
  • Move GPU jobs to Vast.ai
  • Validate a Vast.ai migration

Example prompts

  • “migrate Runpod to Vast.ai”
  • “move GPU jobs to Vast.ai”
  • “validate a Vast.ai migration”
  • “/vastai-migration-deep-dive”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires source-provider inventory, portable workload artifacts, Vast.ai capacity, external storage, and an approved rollback window.
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

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

  1. Freeze source truth
  2. Map Vast.ai equivalents
  3. Prove artifact parity
  4. Compare production characteristics
  5. Cut over reversibly
  6. Accept or roll back

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Grep
    • Write
    • Edit

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • docs.vast.ai

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Requires source-provider inventory, portable workload artifacts, Vast.ai capacity, external storage, and an approved rollback window.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Vastai Migration Deep Dive loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 417 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.4k

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.

Evidence-Gated Migration to Vast.ai

Overview

Separate portability from cutover. First identify source-provider dependencies, then prove immutable image, storage, networking, secrets, GPU, and output behavior on a disposable Vast.ai canary before moving production work.

Prerequisites

  • Source inventory covering images, accelerators, storage, network, identity, schedules, and cost
  • Acceptance thresholds for correctness, throughput, latency, recovery, and total spend
  • Versioned data/checkpoint transfer, dual-run or drain plan, and rollback owner

Instructions

Step 1: Freeze source truth

Record source release, image digest, GPU profile, command, secrets interfaces, ports, persistent data, checkpoints, SLOs, and representative outputs.

Step 2: Map Vast.ai equivalents

Choose offer or Serverless profiles, template, disk/volume/cloud-copy route, scoped keys, SSH/network mode, and lifecycle semantics.

Step 3: Prove artifact parity

Run the same image and input sample on one disposable Vast.ai target; verify CUDA, dependencies, output schema, checksums, and external checkpoint recovery.

Step 4: Compare production characteristics

Measure startup, throughput, latency, reliability, bandwidth, storage, interruption recovery, and cost per accepted unit.

Step 5: Cut over reversibly

Quiesce or dual-run according to data semantics, move only verified state, switch a bounded slice, and monitor explicit acceptance gates.

Step 6: Accept or roll back

Promote only if every gate passes. Otherwise restore source routing, reconcile writes and checkpoints, and destroy rejected Vast.ai resources.

Authentication

Translate identity to scoped Vast.ai keys and separate storage/registry credentials. Do not export source-provider credentials into images or long-lived Vast.ai environment variables.

Tool Discipline

Use Read and Grep to inspect manifests, configuration, provider output, and existing tests before proposing a mutation. Use Write or Edit only for the approved plan, implementation, test, or redacted receipt; do not create, update, destroy, or fund Vast.ai resources without explicit operator approval.

Output

  • Source-to-Vast dependency and control map
  • Canary parity, recovery, performance, and cost evidence
  • Cutover or rollback timeline with reconciled data and resource cleanup

Return source/target releases, immutable identities, data checkpoint, acceptance deltas, decision, rollback point, and destroyed resources.

Examples

A Runpod training job keeps its container contract, moves checkpoints to a versioned cloud prefix, proves resume on one Vast.ai canary, then shifts scheduled jobs while the source environment remains available for one rollback window.

Error Handling

FailureResponse
Source dependency has no target equivalentDesign and test an adapter before cutover.
Data or output checksums differStop migration and reconcile the semantic difference.
Target capacity violates policyDelay or approve a documented alternate; do not weaken constraints silently.
Rollback window closes earlyIssue NO-GO until source restoration remains provable.
