# Triton Hip Reference Kernel Search > Search and adapt Triton/HIP kernel patterns from a corpus to optimize AMD GPUs; use to find similar ops and reuse tiling/occupancy strategies. Use when this capability is needed. - Skill: `tomevault-io/triton-hip-reference-kernel-search` (Agent Skill, multi-file: 2 files) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add tomevault-io/triton-hip-reference-kernel-search` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/tomevault-io/triton-hip-reference-kernel-search/raw - Safety review: pending (external: skill-scanner PASS, skillspector PASS) - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: Coding & Dev Tools - Author: tomevault-io (https://skillmd.com/u/tomevault-io) - Updated: 2026-09-17 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/tomevault-io/triton-hip-reference-kernel-search --- # AMD Kernel Patterns - Use when you need real kernel templates (attention, layernorm, matmul, activations) to adapt for AMD/ROCm. - Do not load the entire corpus; grep targeted snippets instead. ## How to use - Search `references/train_crawl.json` with ripgrep for relevant ops; keep context tight. - Extract only needed code and descriptions; rewrite for wave64 occupancy, LDS tiling, vectorized/coalesced access, and bank-conflict avoidance. - Cite source file and lines; pair with reflection prompts to validate correctness and performance. ## References - `references/SEARCH.md`: Grep commands and tips for slicing snippets efficiently. --- > Source: [AMD-AGI/Apex](https://github.com/AMD-AGI/Apex) — distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io).
