What it does

Vastai Prod Checklist is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Analyze readiness and issue a production go/no-go decision for a Vast.ai renter workload using retained evidence for cost, capacity, security, recovery, observability, and teardown. Use when a release needs production approval. Trigger with: "approve Vast.ai production", "run the Vast.ai launch checklist", "is this Vast.ai workload production ready".

Its SKILL.md is about 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 an immutable release candidate, approved Vast.ai account, workload SLOs, security policy, and rollback owner.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Feature launches and release readiness, Product launch strategy and Observability. 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

  • A release needs production approval
  • With: approve Vast.ai production
  • Run the Vast.ai launch checklist
  • Is this Vast.ai workload production ready

Example prompts

  • “approve Vast.ai production”
  • “run the Vast.ai launch checklist”
  • “is this Vast.ai workload production ready”
  • “/vastai-prod-checklist”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires an immutable release candidate, approved Vast.ai account, workload SLOs, security policy, and rollback owner.
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

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

  1. Verify account and permissions
  2. Verify capacity policy
  3. Verify immutable execution
  4. Verify recovery
  5. Verify operations
  6. Issue the decision

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 an immutable release candidate, approved Vast.ai account, workload SLOs, security policy, and rollback owner.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Vastai Prod Checklist loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 398 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~94
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.3k

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.

Vast.ai Production Go/No-Go

Overview

Production approval is an evidence bundle, not a list of optimistic assertions. Every gate needs an owner, artifact, and expiry; any failed critical gate yields NO-GO.

Prerequisites

  • Release ID, image digest, dataset/model identity, and expected traffic or job profile
  • Capacity, latency, reliability, recovery, security, and spend objectives
  • Named incident, billing, data-recovery, and teardown owners

Instructions

Step 1: Verify account and permissions

Confirm account/team context, positive balance or approved autobilling, least-privilege keys, audit visibility, and no credential in release artifacts.

Step 2: Verify capacity policy

Demonstrate compliant offers or Serverless worker capacity across required GPU, VRAM, geography, reliability, and price constraints.

Step 3: Verify immutable execution

Pin image/template/model identity and prove startup, health, output contract, and workload-specific acceptance on a canary.

Step 4: Verify recovery

Restore from an external checkpoint or roll back a Serverless template. Prove that stop, outbid, offline, expiry, and zero-balance paths have owners.

Step 5: Verify operations

Show bounded retries, terminal-state handling, logs/metrics, signed webhook or polling coverage, cost alarms, and escalation contacts.

Step 6: Issue the decision

Record PASS, FAIL, owner, evidence URI, and expiry for each gate. Launch only on GO; retain the exact rollback and cleanup commands.

Authentication

Production keys must be named and scoped by function. Separate billing, team administration, deployment, workload storage, and monitoring authority.

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

  • Per-gate PASS/FAIL matrix with evidence and expiry
  • GO or NO-GO decision with accepted residual risks
  • Rollback, incident, billing, and teardown owner receipt

Return release ID, account context, immutable identities, gate results, decision, approvers, expiry, and rollback target.

Examples

A Serverless model release receives GO only after canary output parity, bounded scale testing, signed webhook acceptance, cost thresholds, and reverse rolling-update evidence are attached.

Error Handling

FailureResponse
Critical evidence is missingIssue NO-GO; an owner assertion is not a substitute.
Offer capacity is temporarily absentDelay or use an approved alternate profile; do not weaken policy silently.
Rollback was not exercisedRun it on the canary before production approval.
Billing owner is unavailableIssue NO-GO because zero balance can stop workloads and endanger data.
