What it does

Cmake is an agent skill from LuisaGroup/LuisaCompute. CMake build options, custom functions, and backend patterns for LuisaCompute.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Backend development. It works with C++, CUDA and Rust. The repository describes itself as: High-Performance Rendering Framework on Stream Architectures. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve Backend development

Example prompts

“/cmake”

Requirements

Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0c84a1a. 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:
- python
- cmake
- xcrun
- cargo
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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

Cmake loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 581 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~21
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~2.4k

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.

CMake Build Guide

Requirements: CMake 3.26+, Ninja (recommended), C++20 compiler (MSVC/Clang/GCC).

Quick Start

bash

cmake -S . -B build -G Ninja -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build
cmake --install build --prefix dist

Platform specifics:

Linux:

bash

export CC=clang-20 CXX=clang++-20
cmake -S . -B build -G Ninja -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

macOS:

bash

export PATH="$PATH:/opt/homebrew/opt/llvm/bin"
export CC=/opt/homebrew/opt/llvm/bin/clang
export CXX=/opt/homebrew/opt/llvm/bin/clang++
export SDKROOT=$(xcrun --show-sdk-path)
cmake -S . -B build -G Ninja -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

Windows: Requires VS Developer Command Prompt. Or use Python bootstrap:

python

import bootstrap
bootstrap.prepare_msvc_environment()

`scripts/agent_windows_cmake.py`

One-shot configure + build + verify on Windows. CI-matching flags (LUISA_COMPUTE_ENABLE_RUST=OFF, LUISA_COMPUTE_ENABLE_REMOTE=OFF, LUISA_COMPUTE_ENABLE_CPU=OFF).

bash

# Full pipeline: configure → build → verify
python scripts/agent_windows_cmake.py

# Individual steps
python scripts/agent_windows_cmake.py --config          # configure only
python scripts/agent_windows_cmake.py --build           # build only
python scripts/agent_windows_cmake.py --verify          # check key .lib/.dll outputs
python scripts/agent_windows_cmake.py --clean           # clear CMake cache

# Options
python scripts/agent_windows_cmake.py --type Debug      # Debug build
python scripts/agent_windows_cmake.py -j 8              # limit parallel jobs
python scripts/agent_windows_cmake.py --clean --config  # clean re-configure

Auto-finds cmake and ninja (PATH → .deps/ → pip). Auto-prepares MSVC environment via vswhere. Verifies: SPIRV-Tools-opt.lib, SPIRV-Tools.lib, luisa-ast.dll, luisa-core.dll.

Custom CMake Functions

Show full SKILL.md (241 more words)Show less

`luisa_compute_add_backend(name [SOURCES ...] [SUPPORT_DIR dir])`

Creates a backend plugin MODULE target. Links luisa-compute-ast, luisa-compute-runtime, and luisa-compute-gui. Output name is luisa-backend-<name> and runtime artifacts are installed to bin/. If SUPPORT_DIR is given, its contents are copied next to the runtime outputs and installed to bin/.

cmake

luisa_compute_add_backend(cuda SOURCES ${LUISA_COMPUTE_CUDA_SOURCES})

`luisa_compute_install(target)`

Installs target with consistent destination paths.

cmake

luisa_compute_install(core SOURCES ${LUISA_COMPUTE_CORE_SOURCES})

`luisa_compute_add_executable(name)`

Creates executable linked to luisa::compute.

cmake

luisa_compute_add_executable(my_app)

`luisa_compute_add_test(name source [LABELS ...] [ARGS ...])`

File: src/tests/CMakeLists.txt. Builds one standalone executable per source. With LABELS, registers a CTest entry (CPU-only tests). Without LABELS, just builds the binary (GPU-using tests are invoked manually with a backend arg).

cmake

luisa_compute_add_test(test_basic_traits unit/core/test_basic_traits.cpp LABELS "unit;unit_core")
luisa_compute_add_test(test_my_gpu unit/runtime/test_my_gpu.cpp)  # no CTest

`luisa_compute_add_example(name source... [MIRROR_AS_TEST])`

File: examples/CMakeLists.txt. Builds example_<name> and, when MIRROR_AS_TEST is set, additionally builds a test_<name> mirror executable from the same sources. Reserved for auto-checkable examples (reference-image comparison, deterministic sims, headless compute). GUI/interop demos must omit the flag.

cmake

luisa_compute_add_example(example_path_tracing rendering/path_tracing.cpp MIRROR_AS_TEST)
luisa_compute_add_example(example_swapchain_qt gui/swapchain_qt.cpp)  # no mirror

`luisa_example_pair_link(name <link-args>)`

Companion to luisa_compute_add_example. Calls target_link_libraries on both example_<name> and its test_<name> mirror (if any). Use whenever an example needs extra libs.

cmake

luisa_compute_add_example(example_cuda_lcub extension/cuda_lcub.cpp MIRROR_AS_TEST)
luisa_example_pair_link(example_cuda_lcub PRIVATE CUDA::cudart CUDA::cuda_driver)

Backend Plugin Build

Backends built as MODULE (runtime-loadable shared libs):

cmake

luisa_compute_add_backend(cuda SOURCES ${LUISA_COMPUTE_CUDA_SOURCES})

Key: output renamed to luisa-backend-<name>, installed to bin/, supports luisa_embed_device_lib for builtin device libs.

Rust Integration

File: src/rust/CMakeLists.txt

Rust support is auto-enabled when a Rust toolchain is found (unless LUISA_COMPUTE_ENABLE_RUST=OFF is passed); the CPU and Remote backends require it. The custom command invokes cargo build (profile: dev for Debug, release for Release). CMake targets:

luisa-compute-rust-meta (INTERFACE): static Rust libs
luisa_compute_backend_impl (INTERFACE): shared Rust backend

Third-Party Extension Pattern

Each src/ext/<lib>/:

cmake

if (LUISA_COMPUTE_USE_SYSTEM_<LIB>)
    find_package(<LIB> REQUIRED)
    target_link_libraries(luisa-compute-ext INTERFACE <target>)
    target_compile_definitions(luisa-compute-ext INTERFACE LUISA_USE_SYSTEM_<LIB>=1)
else()
    add_subdirectory(<lib>)
    target_link_libraries(luisa-compute-ext INTERFACE <target>)
    luisa_compute_install_extension(<target> ...)
endif()

Output & RPATH

${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/bin  → Runtime outputs (DLLs, executables)
${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/lib  → Archive outputs (static libs, PDBs)

macOS: @loader_path, @loader_path/../bin, @loader_path/../lib
Linux: $ORIGIN, $ORIGIN/../bin, $ORIGIN/../lib

Questions about Cmake

What does Cmake do?

CMake build options, custom functions, and backend patterns for LuisaCompute. Cmake is an agent skill from LuisaGroup/LuisaCompute. CMake build options, custom functions, and backend patterns for LuisaCompute.

When should I use Cmake?

Cmake fits situations like: tasks that involve Backend development.

How do I install Cmake in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add LuisaGroup/LuisaCompute --skill cmake -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/cmake in LuisaGroup/LuisaCompute) into .claude/skills/cmake in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Cmake in Codex?

Run `npx skills add LuisaGroup/LuisaCompute --skill cmake -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/cmake in LuisaGroup/LuisaCompute) into .agents/skills/cmake in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Cmake 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 LuisaGroup/LuisaCompute --skill cmake -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/cmake, .gemini/skills/cmake, .github/skills/cmake and .opencode/skills/cmake in your project.

What does Cmake need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Cmake needs the command-line tools its instructions call (python, cmake, xcrun and cargo). Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Cmake access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Cmake 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 Cmake use?

Cmake is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Cmake use?

About 2.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Cmake?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Cmake: Developing Software (telagod/code-abyss, 243 stars), Cpp (crazyguitar/cppcheatsheet, 290 stars), Readable Cpp (crazyguitar/cppcheatsheet, 290 stars) and Feynman Auditor (0xiehnnkta/nemesis-auditor, 243 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
