What it does

Aicr Creating Guided Demos is an agent skill from NVIDIA/aicr, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Scaffolds an interactive guided demo script (demos/.sh), live or self-paced, with the Frame → Tell → Show → Close pattern. Triggers on "demo script", "guided walkthrough", "demos/.sh", "live demo".

Its SKILL.md is about 930 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skeleton.sh`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Project scaffolding and Container orchestration. The repository describes itself as: Tooling for optimized, validated, and reproducible GPU-accelerated AI runtime in Kubernetes. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Guided walkthrough
  • Tasks that involve Project scaffolding
  • Tasks that involve Container orchestration

Example prompts

  • “demo script”
  • “guided walkthrough”
  • “demos/.sh”
  • “/aicr-creating-guided-demos”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

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

  1. Frame — the why, for whoever's following (a room, or one reader). One or two sentences: what's missing/broken and why it matters. No…
  2. Tell — name the steps before running them, so they have a map. Flag what's slow, what needs the network/VPN, what to watch for.
  3. Show — run the real commands one at a time, pausing before each, streaming their full output. Pre-stage the slow/fragile parts; keep a…
  4. Close — one line on what just happened, plus pointers: docs/ADR, related demos, the source of truth.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e8f18da. 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 script files (Shell), 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

Aicr Creating Guided Demos loads about 929 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 511 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~929

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.

Creating Guided Demos

Overview

A guided demo is a narrative, not a command dump — and it serves two readers equally: a presenter driving it live for a room, and a lone user stepping through it to learn or reproduce the flow. Either way, at every step they know why they're here, what's about to happen, and what just happened.

Four beats: Frame → Tell → Show → Close. The script is the guide — it paces itself, explains each step, and streams the real tool output so what's watched is the actual thing working.

When to use

  • Building a demos/*.sh to present a CLI/workflow live or to let a user self-walk it (onboarding, learning, reproducing a result).
  • Turning a bare sequence of commands into a self-paced, narrated walkthrough.
  • Not for: non-interactive CI scripts, one-off scratch scripts, or pure reference docs.

The four beats

  1. Frame — the why, for whoever's following (a room, or one reader). One or two sentences: what's missing/broken and why it matters. No commands.
  2. Tell — name the steps before running them, so they have a map. Flag what's slow, what needs the network/VPN, what to watch for.
  3. Show — run the real commands one at a time, pausing before each, streaming their full output. Pre-stage the slow/fragile parts; keep a fallback for anything that can fail.
  4. Close — one line on what just happened, plus pointers: docs/ADR, related demos, the source of truth.

Mechanics

Copy skeleton.sh. It gives you:

  • banner / note / pause / run helpers — numbered sections, dim explanations, an Enter-gated pause per step, and a run that echoes then streams output verbatim. Plus an optional run_expect_fail for steps where a non-zero exit is the expected result (uses || rc=$? so set -euo pipefail doesn't abort).
  • One env config block at the top — every input is an env var; required ones fail fast (validate producer-only inputs inside the producer branch so the skip flag still works), the rest default. Each runner overrides only what differs.
  • Re-runnability — DEMO_NO_PAUSE=1 runs unattended; a skip flag (e.g. SKIP_SETUP=1) reuses pre-staged state. Skip contract: guard the producer, assert the artifact exists (fail loudly), then run the fast steps either way.

Rules

  • Show real output. Never >/dev/null, never fabricate. Watching the real tool is the point.
  • Don't fake success. Never weaken a gate/threshold to force green — an honest failure is a valid beat.
  • Respect time. Anything multi-minute (deploys, benchmarks, sign-in) is pre-staged; live steps are seconds.
  • Commit-ready by default. No home paths, kubeconfig paths, or private refs; generic defaults. (A throwaway personal demo can relax this.)

Worked example

demos/evidence-demo.sh — the split-leg recipe-evidence walkthrough: Frame (the reachability gap) → Tell (validate → publish → verify) → Show (each leg, streamed, pre-staged with fallbacks) → Close (ADR-007 + related demos). Reads the same whether presented live or run solo.

Common mistakes

  • Command dump, no Frame/Close → the runner never learns why, or what they saw.
  • Slow producer step run live → blows the time budget; pre-stage it and add a skip flag.
  • Hardcoded paths/criteria → not reusable; use env vars and fail fast on required ones.
  • Faked/suppressed output or a weakened gate → destroys the trust the demo exists to build.
