AB perf-nsight-systems
Nsight Systems (nsys) CLI for system-level timeline profiling. Use when the user wants to run nsys profile, analyze .nsys-rep reports, use nsys stats/analyze/recipe commands, diagnose GPU idle time from timeline traces, or profile distributed training with NCCL overlap analysis. NOT for kernel-level metrics like SOL%, occupancy, or roofline (use perf-nsight-compute-analysis for ncu). NOT for writing or generating kernels. NOT for applying optimizations like CUDA Graphs.
This skill wraps Nsight Systems CLI for system-level profiling. Promises to run nsys profile, parse .nsys-rep reports, analyze GPU idle time from timeline traces, and catch NCCL overlap in distributed training. Explicitly skips kernel metrics (SOL%, occupancy) — that's a separate skill.
Eight files, no lint errors. Quality score 96, process score 77 means the spec is solid but commands might need clarification. No critical findings. Sourced from official TensorRT-LLM, runs on all major platforms. Install if you're profiling GPU load at system level, not individual kernels.

How to improve
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Process rating: all ten parameters 77/100
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web, python, node) that frontmatter does not declare
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Steps. 21 steps
- 100When it triggers. States when to use and when not to
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 3513 tokens
- 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
