Debug AOTInductor (AOTI) errors and crashes. An agent skill from pytorch/pytorch.

  • Works in 5 steps: Device Mismatch Segfault → Input Device Mismatch at Runtime → Sanity Checks → …
  • Encountering AOTI segfaults
  • SKILL.md covers Error Pattern Routing, First Step: Always Check…, Key Constraint: Device Type… and Common Error Patterns, plus 4 more sections
  • Calls python

What it does

Aoti Debug is an agent skill from pytorch/pytorch. Debug AOTInductor (AOTI) errors and crashes. Use when encountering AOTI segfaults, device mismatch errors, constant loading failures, or runtime errors from aotcompile, aotload, aoticompileandpackage, or aotiloadpackage.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `triton-index-out-of-bounds.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Debugging and Deep learning. It works with CUDA. The repository describes itself as: Tensors and Dynamic neural networks in Python with strong GPU acceleration.

When your agent uses it

  • Encountering AOTI segfaults
  • Device mismatch errors
  • Constant loading failures
  • Runtime errors from aotcompile

Example prompts

  • “/aoti-debug”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Device Mismatch Segfault
  2. Input Device Mismatch at Runtime
  3. Sanity Checks
  4. Pinpoint the CUDA IMA
  5. Identify Problematic Kernels with Intermediate Value Debugger

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 84af535. 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:

    • python

    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

Aoti Debug loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 693 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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 (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 693 words (~1,694 tokens).

“This skill helps diagnose and fix common AOTInductor issues.”
