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

hyperpod-slurm-debugger 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/slurm-diagnose.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 244 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

HyperPod Slurm Debugger

Diagnostic-only. Identify and classify Slurm scheduler and node-daemon issues on HyperPod Slurm clusters. Do not run, recommend, or print any state-mutating command. For remediation, link to the official AWS or Slurm documentation.

When to invoke

Invoke when the user reports any of the symptoms in the decision table.

When NOT to invoke

  • Cluster has Orchestrator.Eks — invoke hyperpod-node-debugger or hyperpod-nccl.
  • Single-node hardware fault with healthy Slurm scheduler — invoke hyperpod-node-debugger.
  • NCCL training-hang investigation — invoke hyperpod-nccl.
  • Node unreachable via SSM — invoke hyperpod-ssm.

Constraints

  • Read-only. Do not run, recommend, or print state-mutating commands.
  • For any remediation, link to AWS or Slurm docs. The user authorizes and executes.
  • IaC-managed cluster (Terraform / CloudFormation / CDK): warn that direct mutation drifts the live state from the IaC plan.

Canonical recovery URLs: references/slurm-details.md → Authoritative recovery documentation.

Prerequisites

  • AWS CLI v2, authenticated for the target account and region with permissions:
    • sagemaker:DescribeCluster, sagemaker:ListClusterNodes
    • ssm:StartSession on the HyperPod-created SSM document
  • Session Manager plugin installed locally.
  • jq ≥ 1.6.
  • unbuffer (from the expect package). Required — without it aws ssm start-session returns empty stdout intermittently with Cannot perform start session: EOF and every check silently misreports. Install: expect package on Amazon Linux / RHEL / Debian / Ubuntu / macOS. Script exits at prerequisite check if missing.

Procedure

Step 1 — Collect inputs

Ask the user for:

  1. HyperPod cluster name (not Slurm partition name).
  2. AWS region.
  3. Optional: a specific Slurm node name.

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.
