triton-skill

triton-skill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from slowlyC/agent-gpu-skills. It costs 116 tokens per session (1,307 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coding aid for writing, debugging, and improving Triton and Gluon GPU kernels. Triton is a language for running custom calculations on graphics processors, and Gluon is a related kernel-building system.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to work with Triton or Gluon syntax, GPU kernel examples, automatic tuning, tensor descriptors, and Triton’s compiler lowering to MLIR, an intermediate representation used by compilers.
Why use it?
It helps avoid relying on outdated memory when Triton APIs and compiler behavior change. It points work toward local tutorials, examples, production kernels, language definitions, and compiler code.

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.

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

triton-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 10d 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 — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Triton and Gluon development

Use the local Triton checkout as the primary source for APIs and implementation patterns. Prefer current tutorials and source over remembered signatures because Triton and Gluon evolve quickly.

Locate the checkout

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

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

TRITON_REPO=/absolute/path/to/triton-skill/repos/triton

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

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

Choose the source surface

Task Start here
Triton language syntax and introductory patterns python/tutorials/
Gluon layout and architecture-level patterns python/tutorials/gluon/
Complete example kernels python/examples/
Production matmul, reduction, top-k and SwiGLU python/triton_kernels/triton_kernels/

Python compiler entry points python/triton/compiler/
Triton and GPU dialect definitions include/triton/Dialect/
Compiler analyses, transforms and lowering lib/

Read quick-reference.md when choosing a tutorial, a complete example, or a production-kernel implementation.

Query workflow

  1. Identify whether the task is Triton, Gluon, or compiler internals.
  2. Find the closest current tutorial or implementation for the operation and architecture.
  3. Verify every API used against its definition or another current call site.
  4. Preserve the target workload's shape, dtype, stride, layout, masking, and numerical contract.
  5. Establish correctness before changing launch parameters or optimization strategy.

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.
