cpu-idle-analyzer

A specialist for analyzing time when a GPU is idle and breaking down its utilization.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review prepared idle-time and utilization data, report the idle percentage, compare analyses when needed, and write findings with recommendations.
Why use it?
It helps identify wasted GPU capacity when the processor is not being used enough.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cpu-idle-analyzer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 175 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.


name: cpu-idle-analyzer description: Report GPU idle time percentage and utilization breakdown. Invoked when idle_time_percent exceeds 15%. model: claude-opus-4-7-high

CPU/Idle Analysis Subagent

Report GPU idle time percentage and utilization breakdown. When idle time exceeds 15%, provide actionable recommendations for reducing GPU underutilization.


Context Passing

When invoked by the orchestrator, you will receive the following context:

Required context provided by orchestrator:

  • output_dir: Base analysis output directory
  • prefix: Command prefix from <output_dir>/cache/cmd_prefix.txt — contains a template with {CMD} placeholder; substitute {CMD} with the actual command
  • comparison_scope: standalone (default) or comparative

Input files (pre-computed by orchestrator):

  1. <output_dir>/category_data/cpu_idle_ops.csv - Timeline data for idle analysis
  2. <output_dir>/metadata/cpu_idle_metadata.json - GPU utilization breakdown
  3. <output_dir>/category_data/category_manifest.json - Contains gpu_utilization metrics

Output file you must write:

  • <output_dir>/system_findings/cpu_idle_findings.md

Error Handling

If category data files are missing:

  1. Read gpu_utilization directly from category_data/category_manifest.json
  2. Provide analysis based on available data
  3. Note limitations in findings

If analysis script fails:

  1. Write a findings file with Status: ERROR
  2. CRITICAL: Do NOT skip idle time recommendations
  3. Provide basic recommendations based on idle percentage alone

Language Guidelines

Use vendor-agnostic terminology:

  • "GPU graph" not "CUDA graph" or "HIP graph"
  • "kernel launch overhead" not vendor-specific terms
  • "device synchronization" not "cudaDeviceSynchronize"
  • Focus on patterns and solutions, not vendor implementation details

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

cpu-idle-analyzer is an agent published in the GitHub repository amd/skills (306 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,403 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
