hpc-orchestration

hpc-orchestration is a skill for Codex from SciMate-AI/HPC-Skills. It costs 64 tokens per session (655 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for coordinating jobs on high-performance computing clusters, which are groups of computers used for large calculations. It covers schedulers such as Slurm, PBS, and LSF, along with multi-stage workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to size MPI runs, submit and track jobs, recover failed work, move and verify data, manage scratch storage, build software, debug live jobs, and connect remote tools.
Why use it?
It helps manage submission, monitoring, logs, files, environments, failures, and handoffs between calculation and post-processing steps.

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

hpc-orchestration 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 13 executable files (assets/templates/jupyter-lab-compute.sh, assets/templates/lsf-basic.sh, assets/templates/pbs-basic.sh, …), 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.

HPC Orchestration

Use this skill as the repository-level execution layer above solver-specific HPC skills.

Start

  1. Read references/cluster-operations-manual.md first for any end-to-end cluster workflow.
  2. Read references/lifecycle-manual.md when coordinating solver skills with orchestration stages.
  3. Read references/scheduler-and-parallelism.md when choosing scheduler directives or MPI sizing.
  4. Read references/slurm-launch-patterns.md when the main decision is how to launch work inside a Slurm allocation.
  5. Read references/environment-and-storage-hygiene.md when environment modules, scratch policy, or filesystem behavior may decide workflow reliability.
  6. Read references/data-transfer-and-staging.md when files must be synchronized, staged, archived, or verified.
  7. Read references/software-build-and-reproducibility.md when compilation, package stacks, or rebuildability are in scope.
  8. Read references/interactive-debugging-and-profiling.md when the task needs live diagnosis, scaling studies, or profiler evidence.
  9. Read references/remote-development-and-notebooks.md when VS Code Remote SSH, Jupyter, or port forwarding is involved.
  10. Read references/container-workflows.md when Apptainer or Singularity-style execution is in scope.
  11. Read references/public-protocol.md when aligning solver skills with the repository lifecycle contract.
  12. Read references/error-pattern-dictionary.md when scheduler, monitoring, or log-tracking failures occur.

Additional References

Load these on demand:

  • references/tools-and-scripts.md for shared execution tool roles
  • references/ecosystem-roadmap.md for repository-wide coverage goals
  • references/legacy-template.md when adapting an older solver skill draft into the current format

Reusable Templates

Use assets/templates/ when a concrete scheduler scaffold is needed:

  • slurm-basic.sh
  • slurm-array.sh
  • slurm-packed-single-node.sh
  • slurm-apptainer.sh
  • slurm-perf-report.sh
  • pbs-basic.sh
  • lsf-basic.sh
  • rsync-stage-in.sh
  • jupyter-lab-compute.sh
  • ssh-config-compute-proxy.example

Files

What ships with it

30 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.

hpc-orchestration is a skill published in the GitHub repository SciMate-AI/HPC-Skills (86 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 655 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.
