What it does

Hipfire Arch Port is an agent skill from warpfront/hipfire. Port hipfire compute kernels to a new RDNA / CDNA architecture (gfx1201/gfx1200/gfx94x/gfx1150/etc.). Use when adding support for a new GPU arch, fixing arch-specific kernel codegen failures (e.g. "Cannot select intrinsic %llvm.amdgcn.wmma..."), or refactoring rdna-compute arch-conditional dispatch. Captures the workflow for WMMA/MFMA ports, ArchCaps routing, channel/speed validation selection, contributor onboarding, and known correctness traps. Triggers on phrases like "port to gfx12", "9070 XT support", "R9700…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files (for example `contributor-onboarding.md`, `playbook.md` and `skill.json`).

It sits in Development, covering Project scaffolding and Refactoring. The repository describes itself as: RDNA-native LLM inference engine in Rust.

When your agent uses it

  • Adding support for a new GPU arch
  • Fixing arch-specific kernel codegen failures (e.g
  • Phrases like port to gfx12
  • 9070 XT support

Example prompts

  • “Cannot select intrinsic %llvm.amdgcn.wmma...”
  • “port to gfx12”
  • “9070 XT support”
  • “/hipfire-arch-port”

Workflow steps

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

  1. playbook.md — load-bearing sequence (start here).
  2. wmma-matrix.md — operand shapes / builtins / lane layout reference (re-verify against local ROCm before extending).
  3. docs/methodology/arch-port-validation.md — correctness method (per-layer cosine / channel).
  4. docs/VALIDATION.md — which executable route covers your claim class.
  5. contributor-onboarding.md — hardware owner workflow + PR shape.
  6. speculation.md — optional after AR forward is correct (n-gram SpecTarget).

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0f999cb. 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

Hipfire Arch Port loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 161 tokens; SKILL.md has 559 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~161
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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 559 words (~1,554 tokens).

“Executable skill for adding a GPU ISA arch (RDNA/CDNA gfx*) to hipfire, or fixing arch-specific codegen and dispatch bugs.”
