What it does
Use Iris is an agent skill from marin-community/marin. Use Iris to submit, inspect, debug, monitor, or recover jobs and tasks; diagnose scheduling and federation; deploy controllers; or reserve dev GPUs and TPUs. Use for ordinary Iris operations, including babysitting a job, controller rollouts, accelerator sessions, and stuck CoreWeave pods. Use a narrower production-run or Zephyr skill when that workflow is explicitly requested.
Its SKILL.md is about 750 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/controller-rollout.md`, `references/dev-accelerators.md` and `references/monitor-job.md`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud. The repository describes itself as: Open-source framework for the research and development of foundation models. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Ordinary Iris operations
- Including babysitting a job
- Controller rollouts
- Accelerator sessions
Example prompts
- “/use-iris”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 61bb85c. 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:
uvkubectl
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv and kubectl, 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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Use Iris loads about 745 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 236 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- description
- Use Iris to submit, inspect, debug, monitor, or recover jobs and tasks; diagnose scheduling and federation; deploy controllers; or reserve dev GPUs and TPUs. Use for ordinary Iris operations, including babysitting a job, controller rollouts, accelerator sessions, and stuck CoreWeave pods. Use a narrower production-run or Zephyr skill when that workflow is explicitly requested.
Use Iris
Read only the material needed for the request:
- Normal jobs, tasks, scheduling, auth, or CoreWeave:
lib/iris/OPS.md. - Federation:
lib/iris/docs/federation.md. - Continuous job monitoring: references/monitor-job.md.
- Controller deploy or rollback: references/controller-rollout.md.
- Interactive GPU or TPU: references/dev-accelerators.md.
- Stuck terminating CoreWeave pod: references/stuck-pod.md.
- Temporary task outputs:
lib/iris/docs/task-outputs.md. - Logs or measurements: use
query-finelog.
Resolve cluster facts from lib/iris/config/<cluster>.yaml; do not copy live coordinates from memory.
Common reads
uv run iris --cluster=<cluster> job describe <job>
uv run iris --cluster=<cluster> task describe <task>
uv run iris --cluster=<cluster> task events <task>
uv run iris --cluster=<cluster> rpc controller list-backendsFor a pending federated root, inspect all three parent-side views:
uv run iris --cluster=<parent> job list --prefix <root-job>
uv run iris --cluster=<parent> rpc controller list-peers
uv run iris --cluster=<parent> query \
"SELECT job_id, peer_id, handoff_state FROM federated_jobs WHERE job_id='<root-job>'"Only root jobs federate; their whole tree stays on the peer. Parent job describe is the liveness source, while forwarded logs may lag. CoreWeave tasks normally read regional S3 and GCP tasks read GCS.
Temporary outputs
Write bounded diagnostics to $IRIS_OUTPUT_DIR. Iris preserves that directory as one outputs.tar.zst archive per attempt without changing the command outcome when capture fails. Find the archive URI and its uploaded, empty, failed, or unavailable state with:
uv run iris --cluster=<cluster> attempt describe <task>:<attempt>Use direct object-storage writes for large or durable outputs. See lib/iris/docs/task-outputs.md for retention, limits, and data-access boundaries.
Boundaries
- Start read-only and name the evidence that distinguishes each cause.
- Never run
iris cluster restartwithout explicit approval for the named cluster; it kills all workers and jobs. - Treat a controller restart as a deployment and require an explicitly named target.
- Cancel, complete, fail, preempt, resubmit, or change Kubernetes state only when the request or selected reference authorizes that exact action.
- Avoid
kubectl describe podon task pods because it can print environment values.
