tpu-skill-claude: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/tpu-management/SKILL.md

tpu-management is a skill for Claude Code from xbill9/tpu-skill-claude. It costs 122 tokens per session (3,588 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A tool for managing Google Cloud TPUs, specialized cloud chips used to run machine-learning models, and for serving Gemma 4 with vLLM on TPU virtual machines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Provisioning and listing TPUs, queued resources, and flex-start virtual machines; running or debugging vLLM serving on v6e, v5p, and v5e TPUs; and benchmarking TPU serving.
Why use it?
It helps with the practical work of finding, starting, debugging, estimating costs for, and stopping TPU resources. It also covers TPU quotas and available zones.

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

tpu-management 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (mcp/project-setup.sh, mcp/server.py, mcp/startup_script_template.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.

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.

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.
