What it does

Aqua Deployment is an agent skill from oracle/accelerated-data-science, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Deploy LLM models on OCI using AI Quick Actions (AQUA) - single model, multi-model, stacked (LoRA), with GPU shape selection, vLLM configuration, streaming, and tool calling. Triggered when user wants to deploy, update, or manage model deployments.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/batch-inferencing.md`, `references/lmcache.md` and `references/private-endpoints.md`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Deployment, LLM inference and serving and Fine-tuning. It works with vLLM and Python. The repository describes itself as: ADS is the Oracle Data Science Cloud Service's python SDK supporting, model ops (train/eval/deploy), along with running workloads on Jobs and Pipeline resources.

When your agent uses it

  • Wants to deploy
  • Manage model deployments

Example prompts

  • “/aqua-deployment”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0418ab4. 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 (its code samples are python and bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • modeldeployment.us-ashburn-1.oci.customer-oci.com

    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

Aqua Deployment loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 355 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8.1k

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

Its licence (UPL-1.0) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 355 words (~2,366 tokens).

“Use this skill when the user wants to deploy, manage, or configure LLM model deployments on OCI Data Science using AI Quick Actions.”

When should I use Aqua Deployment?

Aqua Deployment fits situations like: wants to deploy; manage model deployments.

How do I install Aqua Deployment in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add oracle/accelerated-data-science --skill aqua-deployment -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/aqua-deployment in oracle/accelerated-data-science) into .claude/skills/aqua-deployment in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Aqua Deployment in Codex?

Run `npx skills add oracle/accelerated-data-science --skill aqua-deployment -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/aqua-deployment in oracle/accelerated-data-science) into .agents/skills/aqua-deployment in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Aqua Deployment in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add oracle/accelerated-data-science --skill aqua-deployment -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/aqua-deployment, .gemini/skills/aqua-deployment, .github/skills/aqua-deployment and .opencode/skills/aqua-deployment in your project.

What does Aqua Deployment need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Aqua Deployment is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Aqua Deployment access the network?

SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: modeldeployment.us-ashburn-1.oci.customer-oci.com; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Aqua Deployment safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Aqua Deployment use?

Aqua Deployment is published under the UPL-1.0 licence (the repository's licence).

How many tokens does Aqua Deployment use?

About 2.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 5.7k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
