slurm

slurm is a skill for Codex from uchicago-dsi/ai-sci-skills. It costs 51 tokens per session (1,770 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of procedures for working with Slurm, a system that schedules computing jobs on shared servers or clusters.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps inspect queues, submit or cancel jobs, debug submission scripts, and report job states and evidence paths.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish problems with job scheduling from problems in the program itself, avoiding unnecessary code changes or resubmissions.

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

slurm 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 — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Slurm

Use It As A Platform Skill

  • Assume repo and workspace policy has already been loaded into context.
  • Honor the active authorization, quota, logging, and handoff rules for the current workspace.
  • Keep heavy compute off the headnode. Inspect files, edit code, and submit or monitor jobs from the headnode; run real compute on Slurm nodes only.
  • Compose this skill with repo or experiment skills. Let them define intent; use this skill for scheduler choices and failure triage.

Use This Decision Ladder

  1. Discover the project’s environment and command convention from local policy and existing launchers.
  2. Prefer the repo-native launcher, such as a checked-in workflow command, submission entrypoint, or scheduler wrapper.
  3. If cluster policy matters and no trustworthy local note exists, do a light bootstrap of the site facts.
  4. If QoS or partition policy matters, inspect the live scheduler limits instead of relying on memory.
  5. If no higher-level launcher exists, use the checked-in sbatch script or wrapper.
  6. Classify the issue as scheduler-only or runtime-related before changing code or resubmitting.
  7. Report job IDs, states, reasons, and evidence paths precisely.

Bootstrap Site Facts Lightly

  • Shared skills should stay generic. Do not edit the shared skill just because one cluster has special queues or limits.
  • If docs/slurm-site.md exists, read it first.
  • Do not load references/bootstrap.md unless one of these is true:
    • docs/slurm-site.md is missing
    • docs/slurm-site.md is missing required fields needed for the current task
    • live scheduler commands contradict docs/slurm-site.md
  • If local Slurm facts matter and are not already documented nearby, inspect them once, record the durable findings in project-local notes or policy, and reuse that note until contradicted.
  • Write the local site note to docs/slurm-site.md.
  • Required fields for docs/slurm-site.md are:
    • default account
    • default partition
    • preemptible or overflow QoS, if any
    • when to use that QoS
    • important limits
    • native launcher
    • environment convention
  • Refresh the local note only when:
    • commands contradict it
    • admins changed cluster policy
    • a new project uses different launch conventions

What ships with it

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.

slurm is a skill published in the GitHub repository uchicago-dsi/ai-sci-skills (17 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 1,770 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 2026-08-31.
