TensorRT-LLM: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/perf-nsight-systems/SKILL.md

perf-nsight-systems is a skill for Claude Code from NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM. It costs 111 tokens per session (3,743 once invoked), scanned B, original, no licence file.

A command-line guide for Nsight Systems, NVIDIA’s tool for recording and inspecting timelines of CPU, GPU, and distributed workloads.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run and analyze nsys profiles and reports, inspect GPU idle time, and study NCCL communication overlap in distributed training.
Why use it?
It helps show where time is spent and why the GPU may be idle, including delays or poor overlap between parts of distributed training.

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 →

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 B, and why

perf-nsight-systems scanned grade B 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 17d 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.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

The source is not reproduced here

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.

Files

What ships with it

7 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.

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.
