Use this skill whenever the user needs the GPU / AI-infrastructure layer of VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA (PAIF-N) on vSphere 9.x / VCF 9.1: inventory GPU hosts and physical GPU devices, see which VMs consume a vGPU and the profile each holds, read real-time GPU utilization, list the vGPU and DirectPath profile catalog, assign a VM's vGPU profile, and list Private AI Service (PAIS) served models and knowledge bases. Always use this skill for "list GPU hosts", "which VMs are using a vGPU", "GPU utilization", "assign a vGPU profile", "list vGPU profiles", "list served models" when the context is explicitly VMware / vSphere / VCF Private AI / NVIDIA vGPU. Do NOT use for the backing VM's power/snapshot/clone/migrate (use vmware-aiops), read-only vSphere inventory/alarms/host health (use vmware-monitor), or GPU-enabled Tanzu Kubernetes (use vmware-vks). This skill is the GPU lens; vmware-aiops owns the VM lifecycle behind it.
Vmware Privateai includes worked examples; pricing or quota commentary; 5 code blocks for direct copy-paste. At roughly 1,660 words the SKILL.md is on the longer end of the catalog distribution.

From the source SKILL.md
The GPU / AI-infrastructure lens for the VMware skill family — GPU host & device inventory, vGPU consumers, real-time GPU utilization, the vGPU / DirectPath profile catalog, vGPU assignment, and Private AI Service (PAIS) served models and knowledge bases — over the vSphere 9.x / VCF 9.1 Web Services API (pyVmomi) plus the PAIS REST API.
What this skill does
Vmware Privateai is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the devops sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/vmware-privateai/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
Who uses this skill
The Vmware Privateai Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 178,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
Or just download SKILL.md directly and drop it into ~/.claude/skills/vmware-privateai/. Claude Code auto-discovers it on next session.

When should I use the Vmware Privateai skill?
Use Vmware Privateai when your Claude Code task falls under the Engineering category — specifically in the devops area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Vmware Privateai" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/engineering/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Vmware Privateai skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a 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. Vmware Privateai is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Engineering category.
