How do I install the Amdsmi Output Verification skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add rocm/amdsmi-output-verification in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

What does the Amdsmi Output Verification skill do?

A checklist for verifying whether AMD SMI is reporting GPU information correctly. It is listed under Coding & Dev Tools on SkillMD.

Is Amdsmi Output Verification safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Amdsmi Output Verification?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Amdsmi Output Verification free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

AMD SMI Output Correctness Verification

Use this checklist whenever AMD SMI appears to report incorrect GPU information. The goal is to distinguish a real AMD SMI defect from a driver, firmware, environment, documentation, or expectation mismatch.

Test Metadata

When running a test, include the following metadata to help with triage and debugging:

Date:
Host:
OS:
Kernel:
ROCm version:
AMD SMI version:
AMDGPU driver version:
Bare metal / container / VM:
GPU model:
GPU count:

Commands To Capture

Capture raw output, without editing values.

amd-smi version
amd-smi list
amd-smi static
amd-smi metric
amd-smi monitor
rocminfo
rocm-smi
lspci -nn
lspci -vv
dmesg

Also capture relevant sysfs values:

find /sys/class/drm -maxdepth 4 -type f

For each tested GPU, inspect the matching card path under:

/sys/class/drm/card*/device

Useful files often include:

vendor
device
subsystem_vendor
subsystem_device
revision
product_name
product_number
serial_number
mem_info_vram_total
mem_info_vram_used
gpu_busy_percent
pp_dpm_sclk
pp_dpm_mclk
pp_power_profile_mode

Availability varies by GPU, driver, kernel, and permission level.

Fields To Compare

Field	AMD SMI value	Baseline value	Baseline source	Result	Notes
GPU name
ASIC name
Vendor ID
Device ID
Subsystem ID
Revision ID
PCI BDF
VRAM total
Memory type
VBIOS version
Firmware versions
Driver version
ROCm version
Temperature
Power
Clocks
Utilization
ECC/RAS support
Process reporting

Result Labels

Correct: AMD SMI matches trusted baseline.
Missing: AMD SMI does not expose a value that appears available elsewhere.
Unsupported: AMD SMI explicitly reports the field is unsupported.
Incorrect: AMD SMI reports a value that conflicts with trusted baseline.
Misleading: AMD SMI value is technically present but ambiguous, mislabeled, or likely to confuse users.
Environment-dependent: result changes depending on permissions, container, VM, kernel, or driver state.
