DGX Spark's GB10 chip has one 128GB unified memory (UMA) pool shared by CPU and GPU, and a sustained power ceiling well below its rated figure. Both break discrete-GPU assumptions: headroom isn't what nvidia-smi reports, and a run that starts fast will slow down mid-job with nothing misconfigured. This skill covers planning memory headroom, working an actual OOM, and watching thermals across a long job. For launch-time failure modes (ABI mismatches, flash-attn, playbook breakage), see spark-training-gotchas — this skill assumes the job starts.
Spark Memory Thermal Ops is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the knowledge-mgmt sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/spark-memory-thermal-ops/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when planning memory headroom for a training run on GB10, when a job OOMs on unified memory, or when monitoring temperature and power during multi-hour training.
The Spark Memory Thermal Ops Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 151,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

SKILL.md from the source repository to ~/.claude/skills/spark-memory-thermal-ops/SKILL.md and restart Claude Code. Both flows are detailed at claudskills.com/install/.SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Spark Memory Thermal Ops is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the General category.
