Backend AI Guide

What it does

When your agent uses it

• S ask about: - Backend.AI architecture
• Components (Manager
• App Proxy) - Features (session scheduling
• Sokovan orchestrator

Example prompts

• “Backend.AI”
• “backend.ai”
• “Sokovan”
• “/backend-ai-guide”

Requirements

• Python 3
• Docker
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): WebFetch, Read

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Identify the Question Scope
2. 2Fetch the Main README
3. 3Recursively Fetch Component Documentation
4. 4Follow Additional Links
5. 5Synthesize and Present Information

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 10554dc. 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:

  • WebFetch
  • Read

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

  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):

  • 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

Backend AI Guide loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 258 tokens; SKILL.md has 638 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~258

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.8k

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

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.

description

Expert guide for Backend.AI distributed computing platform. Automatically activates when users ask about: - Backend.AI architecture, components (Manager, Agent, Storage Proxy, Webserver, App Proxy) - Features (session scheduling, Sokovan orchestrator, multi-tenancy, resource allocation) - APIs (REST, GraphQL), authentication, RBAC authorization - Container runtime (kernels, jail sandbox, hook library, virtual folders) - Accelerator support (CUDA, ROCm, TPU, NPU, Graphcore IPU) - Client SDKs (Python, Java, JavaScript, PHP) - Setup, requirements (Python 3.13+, Docker, PostgreSQL, Redis, etcd) - How WebUI connects to/interacts with Backend.AI backend - Plugin interfaces, development setup, infrastructure Use when user mentions "Backend.AI", "backend.ai", "Sokovan", component names, or asks about the backend platform this WebUI connects to. For this deployment's live data, a GraphQL field's meaning, or a status value the UI shows, use the `bai-agent` skill instead — it queries the manager and the schema.
