inference-engineer

inference-engineer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Rockielab/rockie-codex. It costs 159 tokens per session (7,056 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of inference-engineer, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for turning an open-source machine-learning model into a hosted API that applications or agents can call. It covers hardware, model-serving software, access control, and quality checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to host a model, serve inference, create an API, support batch requests, or reproduce a paper or repository on a GPU.
Why use it?
It replaces the separate work of choosing infrastructure, running the model, and exposing it safely as a service. This is useful when a trained or downloaded model needs to become a usable endpoint.

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

inference-engineer 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (runtime/monitor_contract.py, test_skill_auth_contract.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.

inference-engineer

The packaging skill that turns "here is a model" into "here is an API your agent can call." Companion to /autoresearch (Rockie's R&D half): autoresearch produces models and findings, inference-engineer operates them.

When to invoke

  • Explicit: /inference-engineer <model-url-or-HF-repo> (URL optional; agent will ask for it).
  • Intent-triggered: any user message expressing one of —
    • "I want to host / serve / deploy / productize / run inference on / get an API for / make available "
    • "I trained / fine-tuned a model — what do I do with it?"
    • "How do I serve this for my agent / app / customers / a batch of N requests?"
    • "Reproduce paper / blog / GitHub repo X on a small GPU"
  • Cascade entry from sub-skills: the eval / kernel / gateway sub-skills can call back here to re-provision when a user asks to swap hardware or change serving config.

The two researcher motivations this skill serves

  1. "I found a model — productize it." A researcher has a HF repo / GitHub repo / paper-with-code link. They want to host it themselves (cost, privacy, latency, customization). They need: right hardware, right serving stack, an API, MCP exposure to their chat agent, quality + cost numbers.
  2. "I trained a model — now what?" Autoresearch produced a checkpoint. The researcher wants to share it, evaluate it head-to-head against the baseline, or wire it into a downstream agent. They need the same productization path but starting from local weights instead of a public repo.

Both routes converge on the same 8-step orchestration below.

If this skill needs Rockie-managed training, eval, synthetic-data, or other GPU job execution outside POST /api/inference/loads, route that work through /experiment and its embedded budget-term-sheet approval gate. Do not introduce raw /api/jobs/submit calls here.

Read this before doing anything

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.
