Dgx Station

nvidia/dgx-station

Inspect and guide NVIDIA DGX Station GB300 development using the local dgx-assist CLI and pinned NVIDIA playbooks. Use for general Station platform questions, Software 1.0 or 2.0 compatibility, GB300 or RTX GPU selection, UUID ordering, mixed ATS/HMM coherency, CDMM, general containers, CDI, CUDA visibility, or vsloshd power-sloshing behavior. Do not use for vLLM or SGLang container selection or tuning, serving a named model, changing MIG, or troubleshooting a reported failure when the dedicated Station skill applies.

DGX Station

Ground every Station-specific answer in current host evidence and a retrieved NVIDIA passage.

Workflow

  • Run scripts/dgx-assist system inspect --json.
  • Read references/software-compatibility.md. Use compatibility.profile_id, support_level, and capabilities; do not branch on a version prefix.
  • Form a narrow playbook query from the user's question and run scripts/dgx-assist playbook search "<query>" --json.
  • Apply the source-precedence rules in references/sources.md. Use only passages applicable to the detected profile. Cite their URL, heading, line span, source commit, and source-file digest.
  • On the Software 1.0 capability-scoped profile, provide the supported inspection, diagnostics, compatibility guidance, and exact recipes qualified for that profile. Do not treat an absent Software 2.0-only service as a fault.
  • Before any platform action, require its named capability to be true. If it is false, explain the profile restriction separately from relevant read-only guidance.
  • If version_specific_guidance is false or retrieval abstains, say no applicable version-specific passage was found and avoid inventing a platform command.
  • Answer from the combined profile and applicable passage. Label unknown evidence as unknown.

Safety requirements

  • Before any mutating action, display the exact command to be run and obtain explicit user approval immediately before executing it. Never batch approvals or carry one forward to a later action.
  • Never assume an nvidia-smi index is a CUDA ordinal.
  • Use GPU UUIDs for every proposed launch. When multiple GPUs are deliberately visible, place the GB300 UUID first.
  • Do not apply either legacy or Software 2.0 mixed-device behavior without checking the detected profile and observed ATS/HMM state.
  • Do not tell the user to install or operate Fabric Manager as a normal Station requirement.
  • When mixed_coherency_service is true, inspect mixed-coherency-gpu-select.service, its generated environment, and container exposure separately.
  • When dynamic_power_sloshing is true, inspect vsloshd. Always inspect observed caps and never propose an ad hoc power-cap change.
  • Never install or change the driver, kernel, OS, firmware, or packages.
  • Never display credential values.

Read references/platform.md when interpreting coherency, container ordering, power, memory placement, or qualification evidence. Read references/software-compatibility.md before applying version-specific guidance. Read references/sources.md when guidance may come from the Development Guide or bring-up guide. Read references/cli.md for command and JSON details.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take nvidia/dgx-station from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
