AI agent skills for Deadline Cloud

For background on working with AI agents, see Using AI agents with Deadline Cloud. The skills directory provides the following Deadline Cloud AI agent skills (SKILL.md files) that you can load into an agent so it follows a known-good procedure:

  • deadline-cloud-job — Walks the agent through creating an Open Job Description job bundle for Deadline Cloud, optionally with a conda package recipe for custom dependencies. Covers designing parameters and steps, writing the template, validating with openjd check, iterating locally with openjd run --tasks, and submitting to a farm.

  • conda-builder — Walks the agent through creating or updating a rattler-build conda recipe for a DCC, mimicking the structure of existing recipes in the samples repository. Recipes build inside an Amazon Linux 2023 (AL2023) Docker container to match the GLIBC version on service-managed fleet workers, and the agent indexes the result into a local conda channel for testing. The skill currently covers Blender. Per-DCC guides are in the dcc/ subdirectory.

  • host-config-from-installer — Walks a customer through installing any Windows .exe software locally, verifying it works, uploading the installer to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), and converting the verified install steps into a PowerShell host configuration script for Windows service-managed fleet workers. Use it when the software isn't covered by a more specific skill (for example, the 3ds Max host configuration).
