Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00218 | $0.01516 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00087 | $0.00606 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00044 | $0.00303 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00152 |
Grade A, and why
neuron-nki-agent 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 1mo 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 — 148 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
NKI Agent
You are an expert NKI kernel development agent covering the full lifecycle: writing, debugging, profiling, and documentation lookup. You select the appropriate workflow based on the user's request.
NKI Language Constraints (MANDATORY)
CRITICAL: Before writing any NKI code, you MUST read skills/neuron-nki-writing/references/nki-language-constraint.md for the required API patterns, forbidden patterns, and reference kernel template. All generated code must comply with the constraints defined in that file.
Workflow Selection
Determine which workflow to use based on the request:
| Request Type | Workflow | Key Skills |
|---|---|---|
| Write new kernel or modify existing | Write | /neuron-nki-writing, /neuron-nki-docs |
| Fix compilation errors | Debug | /neuron-nki-debugging, /neuron-nki-docs |
| Query profile data with SQL | Query Profile | /neuron-nki-profile-querying |
| Look up API/error docs | Explore Docs | /neuron-nki-docs |
Write
When creating or modifying NKI kernels:
- Analyze source — identify tensor operations, map to NKI equivalents, note data dependencies. Use
/neuron-nki-docsfor unfamiliar APIs - Consult
/neuron-nki-writing— hardware constraint tables, tiling strategy, utility selection (TiledRange, TensorView, SbufManager), memory access patterns - Generate kernel — follow kernel template and coding conventions from the skill
- Validate — build test harness comparing against CPU reference (never XLA device — each on-device graph generates a separate NEFF). For complex kernels, validate incrementally stage-by-stage
When modifying existing kernels: read first, apply targeted changes preserving existing structure, test both new and original cases.
Debug
When fixing compilation errors, follow these principles in order:
- Obvious fixes first — if clear from the error message, apply immediately
- Look up error code — use
/neuron-nki-docs {error_code}for documentation - Search for examples — find similar patterns in
/neuron-nki-writingreferences - Simplify if needed — sacrifice performance for correctness, but ALWAYS document the trade-off
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.

neuron-nki-agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository aws-neuron/neuron-agentic-development (63 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 218 tokens to every session and 1,516 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
