cuda-optimizer

cuda-optimizer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from wenyi-li/awesome-agent-kernel-skills. It costs 113 tokens per session (2,190 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A workflow for improving CUDA kernels, which perform computations on NVIDIA graphics processors, through repeated testing and performance measurement. It writes a kernel, checks its results, measures its speed, studies the measurements, and applies further changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for creating reference implementations, writing CUDA kernels, validating correctness, profiling them, analysing results, and repeating optimisation until progress stops.
Why use it?
It ties performance changes to correctness checks and profiling instead of relying only on guesses about what will make GPU code faster.

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

cuda-optimizer 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 9d 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.

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-optimizer 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 113 tokens to every session and 2,190 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
