TensorRT-LLM: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/perf-host-analysis/SKILL.md

perf-host-analysis is a skill for Claude Code from NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM. It costs 171 tokens per session (3,940 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A guide for analyzing CPU and other host-side overhead in TensorRT-LLM from Nsight Systems traces. A trace is a recorded timeline showing what the CPU and GPU were doing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze nsys traces, measure GPU idle and host-preparation ratios, compare host operations across versions, and investigate forward-step regressions.
Why use it?
It helps determine whether CPU preparation is causing GPU idle time and isolate the operations or phases responsible, including regressions between versions.

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

perf-host-analysis 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 17d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/analyze_host_overhead.py, scripts/detect_host_overhead.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.

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.

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

Changes

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.
