What it does

Tirx Profile Kernel is an agent skill from mlc-ai/TIRx-harness. Profile and optimize runnable TIRx kernels by selecting and executing the applicable measurement and analysis tools. Use whenever performance must be measured, explained, compared, or improved.

Its SKILL.md is about 780 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/dump-source.md` and `references/iket.md`).

The repository describes itself as: An Open Compiler Harness for Agentic GPU Programming.

When your agent uses it

  • Performance must be measured

Example prompts

  • “/tirx-profile-kernel”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Resolve a reproducible launch and representative input. Treat user-provided
  2. Record a stable baseline before profiling. Keep inputs, environment, GPU,
  3. Run the tools that answer the question. Pick an idle GPU and do not run GPU
  4. Base each hypothesis on a specific metric, finding, or generated-code
  5. After a change, rerun the same benchmark and affected profilers and report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6449c3d. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Tirx Profile Kernel loads about 783 tokens when it runs, and up to ~8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 384 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~783
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~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

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 384 words (~783 tokens).

“Measure the kernel before explaining or optimizing it. Reading a profiler guide or inspecting source alone is not performance evidence when a runnable case is available.”
