RunPod Operations Skill

Manage RunPod GPU instances for LLM training and inference.

Self-contained skill - auto-installs via uv run from git (no pre-installation needed).

Quick Start

# Via wrapper (auto-installs from GitHub on demand)
.agents/skills/runpod-ops/run.sh list-instances

# Create an instance
.agents/skills/runpod-ops/run.sh create-instance 70B --hours 4

# Monitor an instance
.agents/skills/runpod-ops/run.sh monitor <pod-id>

# Terminate an instance
.agents/skills/runpod-ops/run.sh terminate <pod-id>

Commands

Command	Purpose
`create-instance`	Create GPU pod optimized for model size
`list-instances`	Show all running pods with status/cost
`monitor`	Live monitoring of pod metrics
`terminate`	Safely terminate a pod
`estimate-cost`	Estimate training cost before creating
`optimize`	Find optimal GPU config using benchmarks
`start-training`	Start a training job on RunPod
`serve`	Start inference server on RunPod

Examples

Create Instance

.agents/skills/runpod-ops/run.sh create-instance 70B --hours 4

Returns: pod_id=abc123


### Estimate Cost
```bash
.agents/skills/runpod-ops/run.sh estimate-cost 70B --hours 8

Monitor Instance

.agents/skills/runpod-ops/run.sh monitor <pod-id>

Terminate Instance

.agents/skills/runpod-ops/run.sh terminate <pod-id>

Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Description
`RUNPOD_API_KEY`	Yes	RunPod API key

Typical Workflow

# 1. Estimate cost
.agents/skills/runpod-ops/run.sh estimate-cost 70B --hours 8

# 2. Create pod
.agents/skills/runpod-ops/run.sh create-instance 70B --hours 8

# 3. Monitor or SSH into pod
.agents/skills/runpod-ops/run.sh monitor <pod-id>

# 4. Run training...

# 5. Terminate when done
.agents/skills/runpod-ops/run.sh terminate <pod-id>

Integration with Memory

After training completes, log the lesson:

memory-agent learn \
  --problem "Training Qwen3-70B on RunPod" \
  --solution "Used A100-80GB, 8 hours, cost $24.72. Config: lr=2e-5, batch=4"
