kernel-triton-writing

kernel-triton-writing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM. It costs 100 tokens per session (4,229 once invoked), scanned C, original, no licence file.

A guide for writing GPU kernels with OpenAI Triton, a Python-based language for GPU programming. It covers common fused operations, reductions, matrix multiplication, and attention-related kernels.

In plain words
What is it for?
Writing Triton kernels for operations such as fused elementwise code, softmax, LayerNorm, RMSNorm, tiled matrix multiplication, and flash-attention work.
Why use it?
It helps avoid applying CUDA C++ or other GPU-kernel techniques to code that specifically uses Triton.

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 C, and why

kernel-triton-writing scanned grade C 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/__init__.py, scripts/benchmark_kernel.py, scripts/verify_kernel.py), 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

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.

kernel-triton-writing is a skill published in the GitHub repository NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM (14,505 stars, last pushed 5d ago), with no licence file. It adds 100 tokens to every session and 4,229 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
