Why use it?
It maps common job errors, pending reasons, time limits, memory failures, and missing software to specific checks and fixes.

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

troubleshooting 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 2mo 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.

Troubleshooting

Rule: read the actual error (and the pending reason), match it below, apply the fix. Don't guess from symptoms — squeue --me -o "%T %r", the job's .out/.log, and seff JOBID almost always name the cause.

Quick triage

Symptom / error Likely cause Fix
Job stuck PENDING for ages, cluster looks idle Targeted partition's nodes are full or reserved for a higher-priority partition (the CPU partitions overlap on shared nodes). squeue --me -o "%T %r" to read the reason; sinfo -o "%R %C" for idle cores; resubmit to a partition with capacity (often gpunormal for CPU work). See managing-jobs.
Job killed near a round time (e.g. exactly 4h) Hit the partition time limit — default_queue caps at 4h. Move long work to cpunormal/gpunormal (no time limit), or split into resumable chunks.
Out Of Memory / job killed, seff shows high memory --mem too low. Check seff JOBID (MaxRSS is on the .batch row); set --mem to ~1.5–2× observed peak. See self-diagnosing-resource-use.
./tool: ... version 'GLIBC_2.xx' not found Prebuilt binary needs a newer glibc than the cluster has. Use a musl/static build, a module, or Apptainer; or compile on the cluster. See installing-software.
R: there is no package called 'X' The base R module ships no add-on packages. Bootstrap a project library first: install.packages("renv") then renv::init()/renv::install(...) on the login node. See running-r.
Python: ModuleNotFoundError inside a job Job ran the wrong interpreter, or env not synced. Launch with srun .venv/bin/python ...; run uv sync --frozen on the login node (never inside the job). See running-python.
Stata: Slurm .out is empty / "where's my output?" stata-mp -b writes its own .log, not stdout. Read the do-file's .log (and the stray main.log Stata drops in the working dir), not the .out. See running-stata.
sbatch fails: bad interpreter, : not found, or $'\r' CRLF line endings (edited on Windows). dos2unix job.sh or sed -i 's/\r$//' job.sh; set your editor to LF for .sh.
nvidia-smi: command not found or it errors You're on a login node (no GPU driver), or no GPU was allocated. Run inside a GPU allocation (--gres=gpu:1); see using-gpus.
git: command not found (or other tool) Tool isn't on the default PATH. module spider <tool> then module load; for user tools install into ~/.local/bin. git in particular needs module load git.
Python forkserver job hangs at startup, 0% CPU forkserver deadlocks under srun .venv/bin/python. Use fork (CPU work) or spawn (CUDA/threads). See parallel-python.
seff reports CPU Utilized: 00:00:00 on a job that worked seff samples coarsely; sub-minute jobs read as 0. Ignore CPU-efficiency on jobs under ~1–2 minutes; trust it only on longer jobs.
Heavy work slow / login node sluggish for everyone Ran compute on the login node. Login nodes are for editing/submitting only — put compute in sbatch/srun. See overview.

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.
