lambda-gpu-cloud

lambda-gpu-cloud is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from synthetic-sciences/openscience. It costs 32 tokens per session (821 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Safely inspect and operate Lambda Cloud GPU instances through the documented Cloud API and SSH, with explicit approval before billable or destructive actions.

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

lambda-gpu-cloud scanned grade A 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 today.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 67 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Lambda Cloud

Use this skill for Lambda Cloud instance discovery and lifecycle planning. Do not invent a Lambda-native CLI: the supported automation contract used here is Lambda's documented HTTPS Cloud API.

OpenScience credential boundary

  • A key saved in Customize > Compute > Lambda is encrypted control-plane data. It is not exported into Bash, Task, notebooks, kernels, plugins, or MCP servers.
  • Use provider_compute with list_resources, resource_status, or list_availability for live instance and capacity reads. account is the same reviewed instance-list request used by Test connection.
  • Test connection must approve an administrator-managed, non-writable curl executable; the macOS system /usr/bin/curl satisfies that boundary. User-owned replacements are rejected.
  • The bearer header is supplied to the approved curl over stdin, so the key is not placed in argv or a temporary file.
  • OpenScience updates last_used only after the API returns success.
  • Never print, log, persist, or put the key in a URL. The saved credential cannot launch, restart, terminate, or change resources; a generic shell is unauthenticated unless the user configured it separately.

API contract

Use the current API reference before constructing a request:

  • Base URL: https://cloud.lambda.ai/api/v1
  • Authentication: Authorization: Bearer <API key>
  • Response and request shapes: use the current endpoint schema from the official API documentation

For local user-managed authentication, avoid secrets in shell history. This read-only pattern keeps the header input out of argv:

printf 'Authorization: Bearer %s\n' "$LAMBDA_API_KEY" \
  | curl --fail-with-body --silent --show-error \
      --request GET \
      --url https://cloud.lambda.ai/api/v1/instances \
      --header 'accept: application/json' \
      --header @-

Do not run that command unless the shell was independently authenticated; a key saved in OpenScience is intentionally unavailable there.

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.

lambda-gpu-cloud is a skill published in the GitHub repository synthetic-sciences/openscience (3,432 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 821 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
