What is vessl-cloud-onboarding?

A setup guide for VESSL Cloud, a service for running machine-learning workloads on rented cloud GPUs. It covers the current service's command-line tool, accounts, teams, workspaces, and jobs.

Use it to sign up, check the command-line setup, verify organizations and teams, review costs, and prepare a GPU workspace or job.

It prevents confusion between VESSL Cloud and older VESSL products, and separates free account checks from actions that may create charges.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00049	$0.01441
Opus 5.5	$0.00020	$0.00576
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00010	$0.00288
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00144

Security

Grade A, and why

vessl-cloud-onboarding 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 2mo 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.

VESSL Cloud Onboarding

Overview

Use only the current VESSL Cloud at https://cloud.vessl.ai and the vesslctl CLI. Separate free/read-only setup verification from billable compute, storage, and Job creation. Read the official workflow and command reference when acting. For autoresearch, also read the official VESSL repositories and defer to the pinned vessl-cloud-cookbook/autoresearch recipe.

Preflight

Classify the target as signup, CLI verification, cost review, or paid tutorial. Confirm the current product URL and whether vesslctl is installed without reading credentials or ~/.config/vesslctl/config.yaml.

Product and Secret Boundary

Do not mix the current Cloud product with legacy VESSL MLOps, its vessl Python CLI, or its Organization/Project model. Current Cloud uses Organization → Team → Workspace/Job.

Never ask for or inspect passwords, MFA codes, OAuth tokens, access-token values, cookies, browser storage, or ~/.config/vesslctl/config.yaml. The user completes credentials, OAuth/SAML, CAPTCHA, email verification, legal acceptance, age confirmation, and final signup submission.

Workflow

Open the official signup page with the available Browser skill and inspect visible state. If browser control is unavailable, give the official link and manual checkpoints.
Hand sensitive signup and Organization creation submission to the user. Explain that the creator may receive administrative responsibility.
Before CLI installation, inspect the official install instructions, explain the binary/PATH change, and obtain explicit confirmation.
Enforce browser authentication with vesslctl auth login --web; the user completes the sensitive browser step. Do not fall back to terminal password entry.
Verify only with non-secret, read-only commands:

vesslctl auth status
vesslctl config show
vesslctl billing show
vesslctl org list
vesslctl team list
vesslctl cluster list
vesslctl resource-spec list --usable-only

What ships with it

3 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.
