From the source SKILL.md

Opinionated greenfield recipe for NVIDIA datacenter GPUs on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS — get from a clean OS install to a healthy host where nvidia-smi reports all GPUs, nvidia-fabricmanager is active (running), and the gpu-operator cuda-validator pod passes. Air-gap is the primary case; connected sites use the same packages from the same upstream URLs.
