xpu-deploy-plan

xpu-deploy-plan is a skill for Claude Code from intel/gpu-ai-skills. It costs 149 tokens per session (1,953 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An end-to-end planning workflow for serving AI models on Intel XPU accelerators. It checks readiness, estimates whether a model fits, recommends settings, selects a runtime, and writes one deployment plan with an exact launch command.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan container-based inference deployments on Intel XPUs with runtimes such as vLLM-XPU, SGLang-XPU, or Torch-XPU, including model, context, concurrency, and quantization choices.
Why use it?
It brings the separate checks and configuration decisions into one documented sequence before anything is launched. It helps avoid choosing incompatible settings or discovering sizing problems too late.

About the project

Intel GPU AI Skills is a collection of agent skills for setting up, running, benchmarking, and profiling Hugging Face models on Intel GPUs. It supports workflows involving PyTorch, vLLM-XPU, SGLang-XPU, llama.cpp-SYCL, and migration from CUDA to XPU. The catalogue contains the project's skills, instructions, agent, and plugin.

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

xpu-deploy-plan 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 8d ago.

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

xpu-deploy-plan

End-to-end deployment planner for Intel XPU inference. This skill is an orchestrator only: it chains the lower-level skills, captures their outputs, and writes a single PLAN.md for the user. It does not duplicate runtime guidance that lives in the called skills.

Default target: Arc Pro B70 (32 GiB) home-lab host, container-first, OpenAI-compatible HTTP serving through vLLM-XPU, unless the user's request points elsewhere.

Before invoking the plan builder, summarize the resolved inputs back to the user (model, runtime, target XPU, ctx, concurrency, quant) so they can correct anything before files are written. This is courtesy, not a safety gate — the script is read/compute only and writes a markdown plan to .out/skills/xpu-deploy-plan/; it does not pull images, launch containers, claim a GPU, or modify the system.

When to use

Use when the user asks for a plan — wants the orchestration, not just to start a server:

  • "Give me a deployment plan for Qwen2.5-7B on my Arc Pro B70 with vLLM."
  • "Plan an end-to-end deployment of Llama-3.1-8B on my Intel GPU."
  • "Which skills should I run, and in what order, to serve this model?"
  • "I have two/four B70s; give me a launch plan."

Required entry point

Always invoke scripts/build_plan.sh. It is the single supported entry point for this skill. Do not run the chained skills (xpu-runtime-preflight, model-can-it-fit, model-config-recommend, or the runtime launch emitters) by hand and assemble a plan yourself — build_plan.sh already orchestrates them, captures their outputs, and writes the canonical PLAN.md. Hand-rolled equivalents drift from the artifact layout the rest of the toolchain expects and miss the halt logic on a preflight FAIL.

If build_plan.sh fails or a chained skill returns a hard error, report the failure and the routing skill from the preflight SUMMARY.md; do not work around it by running the underlying scripts directly.

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.
