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.

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 | $0.00071 | $0.06152 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00028 | $0.02461 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.01230 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00615 |
Grade A, and why
deploy-llm-d 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.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 296 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Command Execution Notice
Before executing any command, the agent will:
- Explain what the command does and the expected outcome.
- Show the exact command that will be executed.
- Explain why the command is needed at this point of the workflow.
Rules
- Notify the user before creating anything. Before creating any resource (namespace, Secret, PVC, Helm release, Gateway, HTTPRoute, file, or any other Kubernetes object), state what will be created and why.
- Do not change cluster-level definitions. All changes are made inside the target namespace. Never modify ClusterRoles, ClusterRoleBindings, StorageClasses, Nodes, or any resource outside the target namespace. Scope every
kubectl apply,helm install, andkubectl deletecommand with-n ${NAMESPACE}. The only exception is a guide's own cluster-scoped prerequisite step (prerequisites.gaie,prerequisites.crds,prerequisites.lws,prerequisites.keda,prerequisites.kueue,prerequisites.compute_domain). These install CRDs or controllers that the guide cannot run without. Check whether they are already present (Step 3). If they are missing, show the exact upstream command, state that it is cluster-scoped, and run it only after the user explicitly confirms. Otherwise hand the command to the cluster administrator and stop. - Do not modify any existing code you did not create. Never edit files committed in the llm-d checkout (
guide.yaml,README.md, values files, kustomize overlays). Customizations live in new files underdeployments/(Step 4.4). - Do not send inference requests without approval. Readiness checks use Kubernetes state only. Requests populate the KV cache and change benchmark baselines; the connectivity test is opt-in (Step 5).
Overview
Since llm-d v1.0 every foundation and model guide under ${LLMD_PATH}/guides/ is a pair of files:
guide.yaml: the machine-readable source of truth. It declaresenv.staticvariables (NAMESPACE,ACCELERATOR_TYPE,MODEL_SERVER,INFRA_PROVIDER,MODEL, ...), asupportmatrix, and step lists underprerequisites,deploy,verify, optionallybenchmark, andcleanup. Steps carrywhen:filters (selected by variable values) andskip_in:tags.README.md: human-readable prose whose bash blocks are rendered fromguide.yaml.
What ships with it
4 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.
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.

deploy-llm-d is a skill published in the GitHub repository llm-d-incubation/llm-d-skills (7 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 6,152 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
