gpu-cluster-provisioning

gpu-cluster-provisioning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nebius/nebius-physical-ai. It costs 67 tokens per session (2,343 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A procedure for creating or repairing a GPU Kubernetes cluster, a group of machines managed by Kubernetes with graphics processors for computation. It covers driver selection and checks that the GPU network, CUDA, and node stability work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when provisioning GPU nodes, choosing between a provider-managed driver image and NVIDIA's Kubernetes operator, or diagnosing nodes whose GPUs do not work.
Why use it?
A cluster can start successfully while its GPUs or high-speed connections remain unusable, so the procedure verifies readiness before jobs run.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

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

gpu-cluster-provisioning 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 2d 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.

GPU cluster provisioning and driver strategy

Getting GPU nodes is the easy part. Getting nodes whose GPUs actually work — and knowing before you submit a job that they do — is what this skill covers. It complements skills/atomic/gpu-selection/SKILL.md (which GPU to ask for) and skills/tools/nebius-infra/SKILL.md (config, storage, teardown) with the driver and readiness decisions made at provisioning time.

Source of record: docs/workbench/mk8s-gpu-driver-strategy.md.

The driver decision: default to managed, do not reach for operator

One policy covers both direct npa cluster provisioning and npa fleet: GPU node groups use a Nebius managed-driver image by default, and CPU-only node groups get no GPU driver settings at all.

--gpu-driver-mode Behavior Use when
auto (default) Managed-driver image whenever the recipe/provider supports it Almost always
managed-image Explicitly require the managed-driver image Pinning the operational contract
operator In-cluster NVIDIA GPU Operator driver path Supported diagnostics or a recipe that requires it
npa cluster up --gpu-driver-mode auto --managed-driver-preset cuda13.0

The default managed preset is cuda13.0. The same values exist on npa provision-if-absent, and in a fleet spec under defaults or a single cluster (gpu_driver_mode, managed_driver_preset).

Operator mode is unsafe on NVSwitch topologies. Fabric Manager can start before Network Operator/MOFED exposes the host InfiniBand management devices, and the result is nodes that exist but cannot run CUDA. It presents as:

  • NebiusGPUError=True
  • Fabric status In Progress or N/A
  • CUDA system not yet initialized
  • Fabric Manager / NVLSM umad_open_port() or IB_ERROR failures

NPA identifies an NVSwitch-risk topology from an explicit GPU cluster or a multi-GPU SXM/NVL preset and rejects operator mode unless you pass --allow-unsafe-nvswitch-operator. That flag is a diagnostics acknowledgement, not a workaround: if a deploy fails and the suggested fix is that flag, the fix is almost always auto instead.

gpu-cluster-provisioning is a skill published in the GitHub repository nebius/nebius-physical-ai (27 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 2,343 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
