cross-architecture-checker

cross-architecture-checker is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JAICHANGPARK/workshop-harness. It costs 76 tokens per session (1,036 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A compatibility-audit skill for checking workshop tools across Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, Windows, Linux, and ChromeOS, then recording risks and fallback options.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a workshop setup for architecture constraints and create a compatibility matrix with alternative workflows.
Why use it?
It helps identify hardware or operating-system problems before attendees run tools such as Ollama, LM Studio, Docker, or MLX.

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

cross-architecture-checker scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

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.

Cross-Architecture Checker Skill

Purpose

Workshop attendees bring a wide variety of hardware platforms (Apple Silicon M1-M4, Intel x86_64 Mac, Windows x86_64 / ARM64, Linux, ChromeOS). This skill performs automated and agentic audits of tech stacks against known architecture constraints, identifying compatibility risks before the workshop session and producing mandatory alternative fallback workflows.


Hardware & OS Compatibility Matrix

Architecture / OS Primary Acceleration Known Risks & Constraints Mandatory Fallback Strategy
macOS Apple Silicon (arm64) Metal / Unified Memory Minimal risks; high performance for local LLMs Standard Ollama or MLX (mlx-lm) acceleration
macOS Intel (x86_64) CPU-only (No Metal) LM Studio crashes / freezes; high latency; no Metal support Force Ollama CLI (ollama serve) with quantized 2B/4B models (gemma4:e2b) or cloud API
Windows 11 x86_64 CUDA / DirectML / CPU PowerShell script execution disabled by policy; WSL2 required for Docker Provide PowerShell bypass scripts (Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process Bypass) and native binary fallbacks
Windows ARM64 (Snapdragon) NPU / DirectML x64 emulation performance overhead; Docker driver conflicts Use native ARM64 Ollama builds or cloud Gemini API
Linux (Debian/Ubuntu/Arch) CUDA / ROCm / CPU No GUI support on headless servers; permission issues with docker socket Terminal-only commands (ollama serve &) and user group additions (sudo usermod -aG docker $USER)
ChromeOS (Linux Container) Virtualized CPU Low RAM allocation; no direct GPU pass-through Use cloud API (Google AI Studio / GCP Gemini) or small 2B quantized models

Tech Stack Audit Rules

When auditing a workshop tech stack string (e.g. lmstudio,docker,mlx,python), the agent must evaluate the following rules:

  1. lmstudio in stack:
    • Risk: Intel Mac users will experience severe GUI lag or crashes due to lack of Metal support.
    • Fix: Mandate Ollama CLI (http://localhost:11434) as an alternative in docs/00-architecture-compatibility-matrix.md.
  2. mlx / mlx-lm in stack:
    • Risk: Strictly restricted to Apple Silicon (arm64). Fails instantly on Windows, Linux, and Intel Mac.
    • Fix: Provide PyTorch / HuggingFace transformers or Ollama fallbacks for non-Apple Silicon users.
  3. docker in stack:
    • Risk: Windows Home users without WSL2 or hypervisor enabled will fail to start Docker Desktop.
    • Fix: Provide local native executable setup or cloud sandbox alternatives.
  4. ollama in stack:
    • Risk: High RAM model selection (12B+) crashes 8GB RAM laptops.
    • Fix: Provide model quantization tiers (gemma4:e2b for 8GB, gemma4:e4b for 16GB, gemma4:e12b for 32GB+).
  5. gemini-live / audio in stack (Real-time Streaming & Flutter gemini_live):
    • Risk: Acoustic echo causes Voice Activity Detection (VAD) self-interruption loop; OS mic privacy permissions blocked.
    • Fix: Mandate headphones/earphones in RUNBOOK.md and verify OS microphone permissions (macOS Privacy Settings, Windows App Permissions, Flutter RECORD_AUDIO).

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.

cross-architecture-checker is a skill published in the GitHub repository JAICHANGPARK/workshop-harness (5 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 76 tokens to every session and 1,036 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
