Tilegym Adding Cutile Kernel
Add a new cuTile GPU kernel operator to TileGym. Covers dispatch registration in ops.py, cuTile backend implementation, __init__.py exports, test creation, and benchmark in tests/benchmark. Use when adding, creating, or implementing a new cuTile operator/kernel in TileGym, or when asking how to register a new cuTile op.
Tilegym Converting Cutile To Julia
Converts cuTile Python GPU kernels (@ct.kernel) to cuTile.jl Julia equivalents. Handles kernel syntax translation, 0-indexed to 1-indexed conversion, broadcasting differences, memory layout (row-major to column-major), type system mapping, and launch API differences. Use when converting, porting, or translating cuTile Python kernels to Julia cuTile.jl, or debugging/optimizing existing Julia cuTile translations.
Tilegym Converting Cutile To Triton
Converts cuTile GPU kernels (@ct.kernel) to Triton (@triton.jit). Handles standard in-repo conversion, debugging (cudaErrorIllegalAddress, shape mismatch, numerical mismatch), and mapping cuTile idioms (ct.load/ct.store, ct.Constant, ct.launch) to Triton equivalents. Covers dual-kernel layout flags (e.g. transpose=True/False + autotune grid via META) per translations/advanced-patterns.md. Use when converting, porting, or translating cuTile kernels to Triton, or debugging existing Triton translations.
Tilegym Cutile Python
Expert cuTile programming assistant. Write high-performance GPU kernels using cuTile's tile-based programming model with proper validation and optimization. Supports deep agent orchestration for complex multi-kernel tasks.
Tilegym Improve Cutile Kernel Perf
Iteratively optimize cuTile kernel performance through systematic profiling, bottleneck analysis, IR comparison, and targeted tuning. Covers tile sizes, occupancy, autotune configs, TMA, latency hints, persistent scheduling, num_ctas, flush_to_zero, and IR-level debugging. Use when asked to "optimize cutile kernel", "improve kernel perf", "tune cutile performance", "make kernel faster", or iteratively benchmark and refine a cuTile GPU kernel in the TileGym project.
Tilegym Monkey Patch Kernels To Transformers
Integrate TileGym kernels into Hugging Face `transformers` models by replacing the library's submodule(s) and certain class(es)' implementations, and patching certain class(es)' init/forward/load weight methods prior to instantiating models. Used when the user requires integrating TileGym kernels into `transformers` models.
Warp Compile Time Optimizer
Use when compile time or startup time is the problem in code that uses Warp: a request to improve, optimize, or cut compile times; an app that is slow to start or stalls at the first wp.launch; seconds of compiling before real work begins; JIT modules recompiling on every run or every CI job. Only applies when the code being optimized uses Warp kernels. Not for steady-state kernel runtime, memory, correctness, building Warp itself from source, or nvcc/C++ build times.
Warp Debug Gradients
Use to diagnose and fix incorrect gradients in differentiable Warp programs. Anything trained, optimized, calibrated, or fit through Warp kernels depends on wp.Tape gradients, so treat any misbehavior of such a workflow as a gradient problem until proven otherwise — use this when training diverges or NaNs, won't train at all, stalls or plateaus above the expected loss, converges to a wrong or biased answer, is worse than a reference implementation, works at small scale but fails at production scale, or fails a QA/validation recheck. Also for explicit symptoms — exploding, NaN/inf, zero, or subtly wrong gradients, suspected wp.Tape/backward issues, gradcheck failures — but users usually describe only the surface symptom ("the sim explodes", "the fit gets dragged toward outliers") without mentioning gradients: make that leap. Not for forward-only Warp work, build/install problems, or autograd issues in other frameworks without Warp.

What is a coding agent skill?
It is a reusable instruction package that teaches an AI agent a focused coding & development workflow, often including commands, checks, and supporting resources.
Which coding skill should I try first?
Start with a narrow task you already understand. The current category leader is Github, but requirements and access scope matter more than rank alone.
Does a popular skill mean it is safe?
No. Popularity reflects adoption and interest, not a security guarantee. Read SKILL.md, review commands and dependencies, and test with minimal permissions.
