Give a coding agent the Compute Agent Skill so it installs the CLI, dry-runs a real example, and only then submits a GPU job.
Raw skill (for agents)
Agents should fetch this file:
https://compute.cx/SKILL.md
GPU runs spend prepaid credit. --yes skips the interactive price confirmation and still bills. --dry-run prints the upload plan and creates no machine.
What to tell the agent
That is enough for Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and similar tools that can fetch a URL.
What the skill does
- Installs with
curl -fsSL https://compute.cx/install.sh | sh and compute setup.
- Writes the tested
simple_mlp.py example from First run.
- Runs
compute run simple_mlp.py::train --gpu H100-SXM --dry-run (no machine).
- On your confirmation, submits with
--wait --yes and checks teardown via compute machines.
Do not paste API keys, config.toml, or Checkout session ids into the agent chat.
Next
First run is the same example, written for a human. Run is the flag reference.
