update_cuda

Update CUDA Skill to Latest Version

This command updates the CUDA skill libraries to the latest versions and synchronizes all skill files with the updated APIs.

Working directory: plugins/cuda/

Repository Structure

plugins/cuda/
├── skills/cuda/              # Skill content (SKILL.md and references/)
├── cuda-samples/             # Upstream repo clone — https://github.com/NVIDIA/cuda-samples

Both cuda-samples/ and CUDALibrarySamples/ are standalone git clones — updated independently via git fetch and git checkout <tag>.

Process

1. Update Libraries to Latest Versions

# Update cuda-samples (uses vX.Y tag format, e.g. v13.1)
cd plugins/cuda/cuda-samples

git fetch --tags

CURRENT_TAG=$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown")
echo "cuda-samples current tag: $CURRENT_TAG"

LATEST_TAG=$(git tag --sort=-version:refname | grep "^v" | head -n 1)
echo "cuda-samples latest tag: $LATEST_TAG"

if [ "$CURRENT_TAG" != "unknown" ] && [ "$CURRENT_TAG" != "$LATEST_TAG" ]; then
  echo "Commits between $CURRENT_TAG and $LATEST_TAG:"
  git log --oneline "$CURRENT_TAG..$LATEST_TAG" | head -n 50
fi

git checkout "$LATEST_TAG"
echo "cuda-samples now on: $(git describe --tags)"

cd ../CUDALibrarySamples

# CUDALibrarySamples has no tags — pull latest main
git fetch origin
git log --oneline HEAD..origin/main | head -n 20
git checkout main
git pull origin main
echo "CUDALibrarySamples now on: $(git rev-parse --short HEAD)"

cd ../../..

2–6. Analyze & Update Documentation (subagent)

Dispatch a general-purpose subagent via the Task tool for the analysis and documentation rewrite. This keeps the large sample code out of the main context.

Provide the subagent with:

• Path to cuda-samples: plugins/cuda/cuda-samples/cpp/ (C++ samples; the top-level Samples/ dir was renamed to cpp/ in v13.3, with Python samples now under python/)
• Path to CUDALibrarySamples: plugins/cuda/CUDALibrarySamples/
• Path to skill references: plugins/cuda/skills/cuda/references/
• Old and new versions (from Step 1 output)
