What it does

“This skill provides guidance for working with the Modal cloud platform. Read this skill before answering any questions about Modal, reading any Modal docs, inspecting the `modal` SDK, or interacting with any code that imports the `modal` SDK in Python, Go, or JavaScript, even for simple tasks you already know how to do. This skill should also trigger when the user needs to run Python code with vertical or horizontal scalability (e.g. batch jobs), needs access to GPUs (e.g. AI workloads including training and inference) or needs to run untrusted processes in a sandbox, since Modal serves these use cases well.”
The author's description, from SKILL.md

Generated summary from the skill's own text

This skill guides agents through working with Modal, a serverless cloud platform for AI workloads with GPU access and horizontal scalability. It provides instructions for using the Modal CLI, Python/Go/JavaScript SDKs, accessing documentation, and handling async operations. The agent should consult this skill when planning code that uses the modal library or needs scalable compute resources.

When to use it

  • Developing or debugging Python code that imports the modal SDK
  • Running batch jobs or workloads requiring horizontal or vertical scaling
  • Building AI applications needing GPU access for training or inference
  • Sandboxing untrusted processes in a cloud environment

When not to

  • Working with Modal in offline or local-only environments without internet
  • Projects that cannot use cloud services or require on-premise execution
