cuda-auto-tune

cuda-auto-tune is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from wenyi-li/awesome-agent-kernel-skills. It costs 167 tokens per session (6,005 once invoked), scanned C, original, no licence file.

A profiling and optimization workflow for CUDA, CUTLASS, Triton, and CuTe GPU kernels. It uses NVIDIA Compute Utility profiling to measure performance before and after targeted code changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect roofline limits, memory behavior, warp stalls, and instruction mix, then modify and re-profile kernels.
Why use it?
It replaces guesswork with measured evidence when optimizing GPU code and checking whether a change actually helps.

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 C, and why

cuda-auto-tune scanned grade C 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/ncu_analyse.py, scripts/ncu_profile.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.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

What ships with it

2 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.

cuda-auto-tune is a skill published in the GitHub repository wenyi-li/awesome-agent-kernel-skills (9 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 167 tokens to every session and 6,005 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
