triton-hip-reference-kernel-search

triton-hip-reference-kernel-search is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AMD-AGI/Apex. It costs 40 tokens per session (185 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A searchable collection of Triton and HIP GPU-kernel examples for AMD GPUs. It helps developers find similar operations and adapt existing implementation patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search for patterns for operations such as attention, layer normalization, matrix multiplication, and activations, then adapt the relevant snippets for AMD and ROCm.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to design every GPU kernel from scratch and provides starting points for choices about tiling, memory access, and GPU occupancy.

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

triton-hip-reference-kernel-search 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 8d 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.

What it actually says

AMD Kernel Patterns

  • Use when you need real kernel templates (attention, layernorm, matmul, activations) to adapt for AMD/ROCm.
  • Do not load the entire corpus; grep targeted snippets instead.

How to use

  • Search references/train_crawl.json with ripgrep for relevant ops; keep context tight.
  • Extract only needed code and descriptions; rewrite for wave64 occupancy, LDS tiling, vectorized/coalesced access, and bank-conflict avoidance.
  • Cite source file and lines; pair with reflection prompts to validate correctness and performance.

References

  • references/SEARCH.md: Grep commands and tips for slicing snippets efficiently.
Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

triton-hip-reference-kernel-search is a skill published in the GitHub repository AMD-AGI/Apex (76 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 185 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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.
