What it does

Vllm Metax Upgrade Common is an agent skill from MetaX-MACA/vLLM-metax. Establish the shared environment, source/runtime correspondence, target confirmation and validation evidence for MetaX vLLM upgrades. Use as the common prerequisite of the patch, attention, registry and model upgrade skills, or for an explicitly requested MetaX environment preflight; it does not perform domain-specific adaptations.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/environment-preflight.md` and `scripts/probe_environment.py`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering LLM inference and serving. It works with vLLM. The repository describes itself as: Community maintained hardware plugin for vLLM on MetaX GPU. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve LLM inference and serving

Example prompts

  • “/vllm-metax-upgrade-common”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit df0f52b. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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

Vllm Metax Upgrade Common loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 523 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~90
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.5k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description
Establish the shared environment, source/runtime correspondence, target confirmation and validation evidence for MetaX vLLM upgrades. Use as the common prerequisite of the patch, attention, registry and model upgrade skills, or for an explicitly requested MetaX environment preflight; it does not perform domain-specific adaptations.

vLLM-MetaX Upgrade Common

Provide one shared baseline for specialist upgrade workflows. Read this skill when a calling skill requires it; apply only the common checks here, then continue that skill's domain workflow. Do not activate other specialist skills automatically.

Environment and target

Run the read-only environment preflight using this skill's scripts/probe_environment.py and the user-selected interpreter. It owns the five-location mapping, component inventory, content comparison and effective runtime-origin checks. Specialist skills must not copy the probe or maintain their own preflight instructions. Examples use /opt/venv/bin/python; discover actual paths.

Proactively confirm the comparison/runtime mapping once if it has not already been established in this session. Reuse unchanged confirmation across all calling skills; honor an explicit instruction to skip the question. A switch from patch to model work alone does not require confirmation again. Expected local edits do not invalidate the mapping. Ask again only when the intended interpreter, target or runtime mapping changes or becomes uncertain. If this requirement causes a pause, link this SKILL.md, quote this instruction and explain the concrete unresolved mapping.

Continue independent inventory while awaiting a required target choice. Do not treat silence, elapsed time or successful probe execution as confirmation. This is target clarification, not renewed permission for already authorized work.

Keep one reusable task record containing:

  • Selected interpreter/venv and runtime cwd.
  • Local vLLM target revision, installed vLLM identity and relevant content differences.
  • Local MetaX snapshot (index/worktree/revision), installed identity and effective imports.
  • Component versions, selected callable/extension origins and device/ABI evidence.
  • Intended comparison source, edited checkout and actual validation imports.
  • Confirmed choices or the user's instruction to skip confirmation; remaining unknowns.

Use the established target, not assumed remote HEAD. Version strings alone cannot prove correspondence. The probe is read-only and standard-library-only; exit zero means collection succeeded, not that APIs, binaries or numerical behavior are valid.

Shared scope and verification rules

  • Preserve user changes. Keep reviews read-only. Do not stage, commit, reinstall, alter global import paths, edit upstream/site-packages or send external messages unless the task authorizes it. The calling skill sets the adaptation scope.
  • Identify the exact snapshot. For staged reviews, export the index and prove that validation imports it; unstaged fixes must not satisfy staged dependencies silently.
  • Trace actual plugin dispatch, wrappers and installed callables. Source comments, matching signatures and upstream capability declarations are hypotheses to verify.
  • For now, generate self-contained temporary validation scripts from current contracts; do not depend on repository tests/, its fixtures/helpers/conftest or historical /tmp files. Select meaningful cases in the calling skill's validation guidance.
  • Record commands, inputs, expected/observed behavior, imported sources, component identities and process-local workarounds. Isolated mocks test only the isolated contract; kernel tests do not establish full-model or distributed correctness.
  • Distinguish source inspection, signature checking, runtime reproduction, numerical validation and untested scope. Preserve failures and unsupported paths in the report.
  • Run relevant format/lint/type/diff checks and disclose unavailable checks. Recheck affected snapshots for concurrent edits before claiming findings are current.

This skill owns shared mechanics only. Patch headers/audits, attention index semantics, registry quantization rules, model structure alignment and model-specific upstream-bug handling stay in their specialist skills. Reusing common checks does not import one specialist's policy into another. No separate audit artifact is required by this skill.
