Who it is forA developer on an Ascend NPU machine who wants an AI agent to help with Triton-Ascend kernel work and needs the kit in place first.
The problemThe agent has no project rules or Triton-Ascend references for this work, so its suggestions may be generic.
The outcomeThe agent's working folder holds AGENTS.md, the guide index, the development references, and the skills folder from this kit.
What you need first
- A shell to run the build script, or access to the repo's Releases page to download an archive
- An AI agent that can read files in a working folder
- Access to an Ascend NPU environment for running the kernels the agent produces
- Familiarity with Triton-Ascend, since the README points to its official docs for reference
Steps
- Run
build-workspace-agent-specific-kit.shfrom the repo, or download the archive for your agent from the Releases page instead. - Take the archive for your agent from the
dist/folder. - Unpack the archive into the agent's working folder.
- Open
AGENTS.mdandtriton-ascend-dev-doc.mdso the agent knows the project rules and how to load the guides.
Prompt for your agent
In the triton-ascend-agent-dev-kit workspace at <working-folder>, list AGENTS.md, triton-ascend-dev-doc.md, the triton-ascend-dev-doc/ folder, and the skills/ folder. Expected output: those four items with the number of entries in skills/. Verify that skills/ contains 24 task-specific skills, as the README states.
Caveat. The README warns that Triton-Ascend and the NPU change often, so guidance from the kit may not fit your exact environment.
