perf-nsight-systems

perf-nsight-systems is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from wenyi-li/awesome-agent-kernel-skills. It costs 111 tokens per session (3,696 once invoked), scanned B, original, no licence file.

A command-line guide for NVIDIA Nsight Systems, a tool that records system-wide timelines of CPU, GPU, and communication activity. It focuses on trace analysis rather than individual-kernel metrics.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run system-level profiles, inspect .nsys-rep reports, analyze timeline statistics, and study NCCL overlap in distributed training.
Why use it?
It helps reveal GPU idle periods, timing relationships, and overlap problems that are difficult to see from source code 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 B, and why

perf-nsight-systems scanned grade B 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 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

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.
