remote-gpu

remote-gpu is a skill for Claude Code from broomva/skills. It costs 173 tokens per session (1,825 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A tool for controlling a headless GPU server—a computer with a graphics processor and no connected screen—from a local Mac or workstation. It sends work over SSH or an HTTP API and brings back status, logs, and results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run model training, inference, video generation, or coding-agent sessions on an SSH-accessible NUC, cloud virtual machine, or other GPU server, then monitor and retrieve the results.
Why use it?
It removes the need to run GPU-heavy work directly on the local computer or manage the remote machine manually. It provides one workflow for submitting jobs and checking what they are doing.

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 B, and why

remote-gpu scanned grade B with 2 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/gpu-remote.sh, scripts/gpu-server.py, scripts/setup-nuc.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.

Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

Quick Setup

1. Configure SSH Access

# On Mac — set up passwordless SSH to NUC
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/nuc_gpu
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/nuc_gpu.pub user@NUC_IP

# Add to ~/.ssh/config
cat >> ~/.ssh/config << 'EOF'
Host nuc-gpu
  HostName NUC_IP_ADDRESS
  User YOUR_USER
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/nuc_gpu
  Port 22
  ServerAliveInterval 60
EOF

# Test
ssh nuc-gpu "nvidia-smi"

2. Install Server on NUC

# SSH into NUC
ssh nuc-gpu

# Copy and start the server
pip install fastapi uvicorn psutil
python gpu-server.py --port 8420 --workdir ~/gpu-jobs

Or run scripts/setup-nuc.sh nuc-gpu from Mac to automate.

3. Use from Mac

# Via SSH (simplest)
source scripts/gpu-remote.sh
gpu-submit "python train.py --epochs 10" --workdir ~/project
gpu-status
gpu-logs job-abc123
gpu-download job-abc123

# Via HTTP API (if gpu-server.py running)
curl http://nuc-gpu:8420/submit -d '{"command":"python train.py"}'
curl http://nuc-gpu:8420/jobs

Job Types

Training Runs

# Submit a training job
gpu-submit "cd ~/project && python train.py --config config.yaml" \
  --name "lora-training-v2" \
  --workdir ~/project

# Monitor GPU usage during training
gpu-watch  # streams nvidia-smi every 5s

What ships with it

4 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.
