Agent skill fromawslabs/agent-plugins

Diagnose performance issues on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod clusters — uneven NCCL bandwidth across nodes and poor filesystem throughput. Read-only. Surfaces host-side signals (Xid, ECC, NVLink, EFA reachability, FSx saturation) and routes to the appropriate sibling skill (hyperpod-node-debugger, hyperpod-nccl, hyperpod-version-checker, hyperpod-issue-report) for any remediation. Triggers on uneven NCCL across nodes, straggler node, FSx slow, checkpoint slow, dataloader slow, filesystem bottleneck, FSx throughput, cross-AZ latency, topology mismatch.

31. **Uneven NCCL performance across nodes** — workload faster on some node sets than others, pairwise bandwidth variance, suspected straggler.
42. **Poor filesystem performance** — training stalled on data loading, checkpoint save/load dominating step time, FSx throughput saturated.
