What it does

Skippy Model Package is an agent skill from Mesh-LLM/mesh-llm. Use this skill when inspecting GGUF models, planning layer ranges, generating or validating skippy package artifacts, fake packages for direct GGUFs, materialized stage cache behavior, or GGUF writer integration.

Its SKILL.md is about 590 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 AI & LLM Engineering. It works with llama.cpp. The repository describes itself as: Distributed AI/LLM for the people. Share compute privately or publicly to power your agents and chat. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Inspecting GGUF models
  • Planning layer ranges
  • Validating skippy package artifacts
  • Fake packages for direct GGUFs

Example prompts

  • “/skippy-model-package”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aaf5a6c. 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:

    • just
    • jq

    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

Skippy Model Package loads about 588 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 190 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~588

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.

skippy-model-package

Use this skill for model inspection, package planning, stage materialization, and cache behavior.

Ownership

Rust owns package manifests, topology planning inputs, cache policy, and mesh model-storage integration. The patched llama/skippy ABI owns GGUF tensor inspection and GGUF artifact writing.

The native package ABI is declared in include/skippy/model_package.h and implemented in src/skippy/model_package.cpp. Keep model inspection, tensor filtering, metadata copying, and package writing in that module; do not grow src/skippy.cpp with package behavior.

Direct GGUF loading in mesh should materialize as a fake package identity in the skippy runtime so the split-serving path can use the same package-backed stage machinery as Hugging Face packages.

Commands

Check current package names before running commands:

bash
just with-lld cargo metadata --no-deps --format-version 1 | jq -r '.packages[].name' | sort

Useful current checks in this repo:

bash
just with-lld cargo test -p skippy-runtime --lib
just with-lld cargo test -p skippy-topology --lib
just with-lld cargo test -p mesh-llm-host-runtime --lib inference::skippy

For a published layer package, prefer package-local diagnostics before a live split smoke. On macOS or Linux, just release-runtime-build cpu builds the skippy-package-builder Cargo binary and packages it with its native libraries. Replace <runtime-id> with the generated directory under dist/native-runtimes:

bash
just with-lld cargo test -p skippy-package-builder --bin skippy-package-builder
just release-runtime-build cpu
package_builder="dist/native-runtimes/<runtime-id>/tools/skippy-package-builder"
"$package_builder" preflight <package-dir> --stages 2

Cache Policy

Materialized stages are derived cache. Model storage commands may evict materialized stage artifacts without deleting the source model/package. Preserve pinned materialized artifacts unless the command explicitly asks for a stronger cleanup.
