cutlass-skill

cutlass-skill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from slowlyC/agent-gpu-skills. It costs 137 tokens per session (1,356 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A development reference for CUTLASS, CuTe, and CuTeDSL, tools for writing high-performance GPU kernels. It uses local source code, examples, and headers to guide implementation and debugging.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write, debug, and optimize CUTLASS or CuTe kernels, including matrix multiplication, layouts, tensor operations, copying, and Python-based CuTeDSL code.
Why use it?
These GPU libraries change over time, so current source and examples are safer references than remembered interfaces.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python3 scripts/validate_repo.py --require-sources.

Good fit Use it to write, debug, and optimize CUTLASS or CuTe kernels, including matrix multiplication, layouts, tensor operations, copying, and Python-based CuTeDSL code.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

cutlass-skill 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 8d 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 144 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CUTLASS and CuTe development

Use the local CUTLASS checkout as the primary implementation reference. Prefer current source and examples over remembered APIs because CuTeDSL paths and interfaces change frequently.

Locate the checkout

Resolve the directory containing this SKILL.md, then use its repos/cutlass/ child. The installer links that path to agent-gpu-skills/third_party/cutlass/ or to the checkout supplied through CUTLASS_REPO.

In commands below, replace CUTLASS_REPO with the resolved absolute path:

CUTLASS_REPO=/absolute/path/to/cutlass-skill/repos/cutlass

If the checkout is missing, run this from the agent-gpu-skills repository and reinstall the Skill:

bash update-repos.sh cutlass
bash install.sh --skill cutlass-skill

Choose the source surface

Task Start here
CuTeDSL API and implementation python/CuTeDSL/cutlass/
All CuTeDSL examples and tutorials examples/python/CuTeDSL/
CUTLASS C++ examples examples/
CUTLASS C++ kernels and builders include/cutlass/
CuTe C++ layout, copy, and MMA include/cute/
Python layout and swizzle utilities python/pycute/
Python manifest and generator utilities python/cutlass_library/

Read quick-reference.md when mapping an operation or architecture to a concrete file in the validated checkout.

Query workflow

  1. Identify the programming surface: CuTeDSL Python, CuTe C++, or CUTLASS C++.
  2. Find the closest example for the target architecture and operation.
  3. Trace the example into the implementation and headers it instantiates.
  4. Check dtype, layout, alignment, architecture target, schedule, and epilogue together.
  5. Build or run the smallest representative example before adapting it to the target repository.

Discover files before loading a large source file:

find "$CUTLASS_REPO/examples/python/CuTeDSL" -type f | sort
find "$CUTLASS_REPO/examples" -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d | sort

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.

cutlass-skill is a skill published in the GitHub repository slowlyC/agent-gpu-skills (165 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 137 tokens to every session and 1,356 once invoked, about $0.0007 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.
