deepops AGENTS.md

Repository instructions for agents working on NVIDIA DeepOps, a system for deploying and managing GPU clusters with Ansible. A GPU cluster is a group of machines equipped for parallel graphics or machine-learning workloads.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding the relevant playbooks, roles, configuration, inventory, and validation scripts for deploying or checking Slurm or Kubernetes GPU clusters.
Why use it?
They provide the project map and setup guidance needed to work with its Slurm and Kubernetes cluster deployment paths without editing generated or example configuration in the wrong place.

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

deepops AGENTS.md 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.

DeepOps agent operating guide

This file is the entry point for AI agents (and new humans) operating this repository. DeepOps deploys and manages GPU clusters — Slurm or Kubernetes on NVIDIA GPU servers — using Ansible. Everything here is driven by playbooks against an inventory you control; there is no server component.

Load only what the task needs: this file for orientation and the golden paths, docs/ for depth, skills/ for step-by-step procedures with failure handling.

Repository map

Path Purpose
playbooks/ Entry points. slurm-cluster.yml and k8s-cluster.yml are the two top-level cluster deploys; subdirectories hold component playbooks.
roles/ Ansible roles (NVIDIA drivers, container toolkit, DGX software, monitoring, Slurm, storage).
config.example/ Template configuration. Copy to config/ and edit; never edit config.example/ for a deployment.
config/ Your site configuration and inventory (git-ignored; created by you).
scripts/validation/ Machine-readable preflight and post-deploy validation. Start here to know if anything worked.
scripts/ Setup and helper scripts (setup.sh installs Ansible and dependencies).
submodules/kubespray Kubernetes deployment engine. Must be initialized before Kubernetes work.
docs/ Topic documentation: deepops/, slurm-cluster/, k8s-cluster/, container/, airgap/.
skills/ Reusable agent procedures with preconditions, commands, expected output, and failure branches.

First-time setup (once per provisioning machine)

git submodule update --init --recursive
./scripts/setup.sh                      # installs Ansible + Galaxy dependencies
cp -r config.example config             # then edit config/inventory
python3 scripts/validation/deepops_doctor.py --json   # verify before deploying

The doctor must report "ok": true (or you must understand every failure) before you run any cluster playbook. With --remote it also proves SSH reachability to every inventory host.

Changes

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.
