What it does

GPU Monitor is an agent skill from Xiangyue-Zhang/auto-deep-researcher-24x7. Check GPU status, running experiments, and available resources

Its SKILL.md is about 280 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering. The repository describes itself as: 🔥 An autonomous AI agent that runs your deep learning experiments 24/7 while you sleep. Zero-cost monitoring, Leader-Worker architecture, constant-size memory. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • AI & LLM Engineering work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/gpu-monitor”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Run nvidia-smi to get current GPU status
  2. Display a clean summary table
  3. Identify which GPUs are free (< 1GB memory used)
  4. Identify which GPUs are running experiments (check for python/torchrun processes)
  5. If --server is provided, SSH to remote server first

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dbf3df8. 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:

    • claude

    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

GPU Monitor loads about 280 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 68 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~19
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~280

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.

Check GPU status, running experiments, and available resources

gpu-monitor

Quick GPU status check for experiment management.

Usage

Claude Code: /gpu-monitor
Claude Code: /gpu-monitor --server user@remote-host
Codex: $gpu-monitor

Behavior

  1. Run nvidia-smi to get current GPU status
  2. Display a clean summary table:
    • GPU ID, Name, Memory (used/total), Utilization %, Temperature
    • Running processes on each GPU
  3. Identify which GPUs are free (< 1GB memory used)
  4. Identify which GPUs are running experiments (check for python/torchrun processes)
  5. If --server is provided, SSH to remote server first
