cuda-to-xpu-migration

cuda-to-xpu-migration is a skill for Claude Code from intel/gpu-ai-skills. It costs 163 tokens per session (2,313 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A migration assessment for moving an AI project from NVIDIA CUDA to Intel XPU hardware such as Intel Arc. It identifies CUDA-specific parts and recommends the next migration work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect AI repositories, notebooks, containers, launch scripts, model-serving workloads, or Triton kernels and produce a report of edits, blockers, and next steps.
Why use it?
It shows where a CUDA-based project may depend on NVIDIA-specific software or hardware before anyone attempts the move.

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

cuda-to-xpu-migration 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/inventory.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.

cuda-to-xpu-migration

Create a migration assessment for CUDA-oriented repos that want an Intel XPU path.

Scope

This skill is for assessment and planning only.

  • Identify CUDA-specific assumptions and likely migration surfaces.
  • Reuse existing skills for code translation, runtime setup, serving, profiling, and sizing.
  • Produce a clean migration report with recommended edits, blockers, and next steps.
  • Do not execute or validate migrated code.
  • Do not duplicate detailed commands or framework runbooks that are already covered by other skills.

Always assess; route forward once

This skill assesses the workflow verbs — "assess", "migrate", "convert", "move" — with the same read-only pass: inventory, classify, report. A request that says "port" (or otherwise names the rewrite explicitly) belongs to xpu-port, not here; route it there. For the workflow verbs, do not bounce the request away before the report exists: a mis-routed execution request costs one cheap read-only assessment, while the reverse mis-route would rewrite a user's repo unasked.

The report's Next steps (with the "Non-namespace CUDA surfaces → Route" table) is the single onward-routing authority. It names the executor for each surface — xpu-port for portable Python, xpu-deploy-plan for API-first / serving repos, container and runtime skills per tier. Routing flows one way, assess → execute; nothing here routes backward.

Use with

  • xpu-discover for an XPU environment / driver preflight check before recommending a migration target.
  • xpu-runtime-preflight for a read-only go/no-go check of host/container XPU readiness (drivers, /dev/dri, permissions, runtime, and essentials) before any XPU workload.
  • torch-xpu-run for PyTorch / Transformers CUDA-to-XPU code translation guidance.
  • xpu-container-run for container runtime setup on Intel GPU.
  • vllm-xpu-run for vLLM launch and runtime guidance.
  • sglang-xpu-run for SGLang launch and runtime guidance.
  • model-can-it-fit and model-config-recommend for fit and config decisions.
  • xpu-deploy-plan for a coordinated end-to-end serving plan (preflight → fit → config → launch → smoke test) once the assessment routes an API-first / serving-stack repo to a local XPU endpoint.

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.
