debug-inference
debug-inference is a skill in NVIDIA/OpenShell, last changed 25 Sept 2026. It can run shell commands and name web addresses.
Debug inference clients that use an attached provider and its native endpoint, including hosted APIs and host-local Ollama, vLLM, SGLang, TRT-LLM, LM Studio, or NIM. Use for provider attachment, endpoint policy, credential substitution, topology, and migration from the removed managed inference endpoint. Trigger keywords - debug inference, managed inference endpoint, local inference, ollama, lm studio, vllm, sglang, trtllm, NIM, inference failing, model server unreachable, credential_endpoint_mismatch, host.openshell.internal.

No install command here reaches Kiro. Copy the skill's folder into .kiro/skills/ in your project, or ~/.kiro/skills/ for all your projects. NVIDIA/OpenShell/skills/debug-inference (opens in a new tab)
Antigravity also looks in .agents/skills/, so the Any agent steps reach it with This project. For All projects, see where Antigravity looks.

Pattern check
Pattern check: nothing flagged · commit 42671c2 · 1 Nov 2026
We checked every text file in this skill, at commit 42671c2 on 1 Nov 2026, against 45 published patterns such as download-and-run commands, hidden text and credential access. We don't run the skill, we don't read the web pages it points to, and we can't judge everything its instructions might lead an agent to do. In published tests, pattern checks like this one missed most malicious skills. Read the skill before you install it — especially anything it asks you to download or run.

Format check
Each agent reads SKILL.md a little differently. We check the file against each one's published rules; we don't run the skill in any agent.
Agent Skills specPasses
The open format from agentskills.io, held to what the strictest agents enforce, so one folder loads everywhere.
- Note
There is no license field, so readers can't tell whether they may reuse the skill. O2
Fix: Add license: with an SPDX name such as MIT or Apache-2.0, or the name of a bundled licence file.
- Note
- Claude CodePasses
Claude apps & API uploadPasses
Uploading to claude.ai or the Claude API, or packaging with Anthropic's script, accepts only the six spec fields and stops on anything else.
- Note
The description is 532 characters. The claude.ai Help Center says 200 at most, though Anthropic's API docs and validator allow 1,024. D4
Fix: If the claude.ai upload refuses it, trim the description to 200 characters.
- Note
- OpenAI (Codex & API)Passes
- VS Code & CopilotPasses
