A deployment assistant for NVIDIA AI-Q Blueprint infrastructure, which is software for running NVIDIA’s AI research and retrieval systems. It supports local, browser-development, and Kubernetes deployment modes.

Use it to install, run, validate, troubleshoot, or stop an AI-Q Blueprint server using Docker, Python, Node.js, or Kubernetes.

It organizes setup, deployment, health checks, troubleshooting, and shutdown so the AI-Q Blueprint server is ready for use. It also checks the required runtimes, tools, credentials, and connections.

aiq-deploy — Skill for Claude Code by laurigates/dotfiles

Install

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/laurigates/dotfiles

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	$0.00027	$0.03142
Opus 5.5	$0.00011	$0.01257
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00005	$0.00628

Security

Grade A, and why

aiq-deploy scanned grade A 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 1mo 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.

AIQ Deploy Skill

Purpose

Use this skill to get a local or self-hosted NVIDIA AI-Q Blueprint server running and verified for use by aiq-research.

This skill owns setup, deployment, operational checks, troubleshooting, and shutdown. It does not run deep research itself. After deployment is healthy, hand off the verified server URL to aiq-research. The workflow stays explicit so deployment validation and handoff are repeatable across supported agent clients.

Prerequisites

Users need:

Access to clone or update https://github.com/NVIDIA-AI-Blueprints/aiq.
Git available in the shell.
One deployment runtime:
- Docker Engine with Docker Compose v2 for the default durable local deployment.
- Python 3.11+ and uv for local process or CLI mode.
- Node.js 20+ and npm for local browser UI development mode.
- kubectl 1.28+, Helm 3.12+, and access to a Kubernetes cluster for Helm mode.
Network access to GitHub, NVIDIA-hosted model endpoints, and any selected search provider.
Credentials stored outside chat. Hosted-model usage requires NVIDIA_API_KEY; web research requires at least one supported search provider key such as TAVILY_API_KEY, SERPER_API_KEY, or EXA_API_KEY.
System capacity for the selected runtime. Docker Compose mode starts the AI-Q backend and PostgreSQL by default; browser UI mode also uses frontend port 3000. Self-hosted model or RAG deployments may require GPU resources.

Before writing secrets, verify deploy/.env is ignored:

git check-ignore deploy/.env

Expected output: deploy/.env or a matching ignore rule. If it is not ignored, stop and fix the ignore rule before placing credentials in the file.

Instructions

Locate or clone the AI-Q repository.
Confirm the expected repository files exist.
Select the deployment mode.
Prepare deploy/.env without overwriting user secrets.
Check runtime prerequisites for the selected path.
Start the selected deployment.
Run basic validation.
Report the verified AIQ_SERVER_URL for aiq-research.
Ask whether to run optional deep research completion validation.

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.
