Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00503 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00251 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00101 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00050 |
Grade A, and why
watchdog_timeout 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 4d 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
Watchdog timeout diagnosis
用于 PyTorch NCCL watchdog timeout、collective deadlock、rank 间 collective 顺序不一致等场景。
这个 skill 会先触发 PyTorch Flight Recorder snapshot,并写入:
python.torch_nccl_flight_recordpython.torch_nccl_pg_status
然后按 pg_id + collective_seq_id 对齐各 rank,检查 missing rank、collective type mismatch、shape/dtype mismatch、state mismatch。
Prerequisites
- PyTorch >= 2.5
- 目标进程内存在
torch._C._distributed_c10d._dump_nccl_trace - 最好提前设置
TORCH_NCCL_TRACE_BUFFER_SIZE=2000 - timeout 自动落盘可额外设置
TORCH_NCCL_DUMP_ON_TIMEOUT=1
Reading results
ranks_seen < expected_world_size:某些 rank 没有进入同一个 collective seq,常见于 CPU-side hang 或分支发散。op_min != op_max:同一个 seq 上不同 rank 发起了不同 collective。input_sizes_min != input_sizes_max或 dtype 不同:collective 参数不一致。state_min != state_max:某些 rank 未完成、未开始或处于不同状态。

What ships with it
1 file 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.
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.

watchdog_timeout is a skill published in the GitHub repository DeepLink-org/probing (11 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 503 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
