Creates, lists, updates and deletes Volcano Jobs and Queues in KubeSphere, with YAML templates for PyTorch, TensorFlow, MPI and batch jobs plus scheduling troubleshooting.

  • Works in 5 steps: PyTorch Distributed Training Job → TensorFlow Training Job → MPI Job → …
  • Submitting a PyTorch, TensorFlow or MPI training job to Volcano on KubeSphere
  • SKILL.md covers Response Rules, API Usage, Discovery Commands and Common Operations, plus 4 more sections
  • Calls kubectl, curl and jq; needs KS_TOKEN and KS_PASSWORD

What it does

Volcano Jobs and Queues inside KubeSphere are the focus of this skill. The agent can create, list, update and delete Jobs, manage Queues, generate YAML for PyTorch, TensorFlow, MPI and plain batch jobs, and investigate jobs stuck in pending, pods that never get created and other scheduling problems.

Two API routes are described: the KubeSphere extension API under /kapis, which uses the volcanojobs resource name and is the recommended one, and the Kubernetes native API under /apis, which uses jobs. The skill insists on the resource kind being Job (short names vcjob or vj) rather than VolcanoJob, warns that deleting a Job terminates its running pods, and expects the KS_HOST and KS_PASSWORD environment variables. It assumes the Volcano extension is already installed and leaves JobFlow, JobTemplate and Command out of scope.

When your agent uses it

  • Submitting a PyTorch, TensorFlow or MPI training job to Volcano on KubeSphere
  • Creating or inspecting Volcano Queues that control job scheduling
  • Finding out why a Volcano job is pending or its pods are not created
  • Listing, updating or deleting existing Volcano Jobs in a namespace

Example prompts

  • “Write a Volcano Job that runs a PyTorch training job with one master and two workers.”
  • “Create a Volcano Queue called team-a for the ml-training namespace.”
  • “My vcjob has been pending for an hour, work out why it is not scheduled.”
  • “List all Volcano Jobs in the default namespace and show their phases.”

Requirements

  • The KS_HOST and KS_PASSWORD environment variables
  • kubectl access to a KubeSphere cluster
  • The Volcano extension installed in KubeSphere

Workflow steps

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

  1. PyTorch Distributed Training Job
  2. TensorFlow Training Job
  3. MPI Job
  4. Simple Batch Job
  5. Queue Configuration

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 04a29b5. 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:

    • kubectl
    • curl
    • jq

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use kubectl and curl, 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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • KS_TOKEN
    • KS_PASSWORD

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

KubeSphere Volcano Jobs loads about 5.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 104 tokens; SKILL.md has 745 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~104
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5.6k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 745 words (~5,612 tokens).
