At a glance

A skill your agent uses when validating DCGM Exporter in a local GPU-backed k3d/Kubernetes environment.

  • Validating DCGM Exporter in a local GPU-backed k3d/Kubernetes environment
  • Calls make
  • Tasks that involve Container orchestration

What it does

Local GPU Kubernetes Validation is an agent skill from NVIDIA/dcgm-exporter, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Use when validating DCGM Exporter in a local GPU-backed k3d/Kubernetes environment.

Its SKILL.md is about 120 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 DevOps & Cloud, covering Container orchestration. It works with Kubernetes and NVIDIA AI Platform. The repository describes itself as: NVIDIA GPU metrics exporter for Prometheus leveraging DCGM. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Validating DCGM Exporter in a local GPU-backed k3d/Kubernetes environment
  • Tasks that involve Container orchestration

Example prompts

  • “/local-gpu-kubernetes-validation”

Requirements

  • Docker

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fafd151. 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:

    • make

    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

Local GPU Kubernetes Validation loads about 116 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 29 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~29
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~116

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.

Local GPU Kubernetes Validation

Prerequisites: Linux, NVIDIA driver, Docker, k3d, kubectl, Helm, NVIDIA Container Toolkit, and a usable GPU.

Typical workflow:

bash
make e2e-local-check
make e2e-local-up
make e2e-local-deploy
make test-e2e

Use make e2e-local-logs and make e2e-local-status for triage.
