CC nemotron-ultra
Reference desk for NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra (550B-A55B) — architecture, NVFP4 pretraining, SFT, MOPD (multi-teacher on-policy distillation), MTP boosting, quantization, inference. Use when the user asks facts about Ultra rather than building a pipeline.
Reference desk for NVIDIA's Nemotron 3 Ultra (550B): covers NVFP4 pretraining, SFT, MOPD multi-teacher distillation, MTP boosting, quantization. Use it to answer questions about the model's internals, not to build production pipelines.
Grade C with quality 80 but process score 63 signals gaps in how the material is organized. Twenty files, zero scripts—it's a lookup tool, not a runnable toolkit. No critical findings; fifteen medium and low-level issues scattered through. Safety at 85, so the facts about the model check out. Install if you regularly dig into Nemotron docs; if you need working code, keep looking.

As a process C 63/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, inputs and preconditions, running it twice
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.

Against the Agent Skills spec
✓ No remarks against the Agent Skills spec
Process rating: all ten parameters 63/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 30Running it twice. 1 mutating operations with no state check
- 60Failures and branches. 2 branches
- 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 50 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1773 tokens
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.
Quality signals
- +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
- +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
- +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
- +4No input/output examples
- +1No license
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 252: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 16 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 50 items
Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 80.
