Conversation
Add an agent-first operating layer so AI agents (and new humans) can drive DeepOps end to end: - AGENTS.md: repository map, first-time setup, Slurm and Kubernetes golden paths anchored on the validation tools, operating rules (validate don't assume, review inventories, reboot awareness, check mode, idempotent reruns), and gotchas that look like failures but are not (login GPU hiding, fact caching, open vs proprietary kernel modules, uninitialized Kubespray submodule) - skills/: four self-contained procedures with preconditions, exact commands, expected outputs, and failure branches drawn from real validation runs: deploy-slurm-cluster, deploy-k8s-gpu-cluster, validate-gpu-cluster, diagnose-driver-install - README pointer to AGENTS.md, the validation contract, and skills/

Summary
AGENTS.mdat the repository root: an operating guide for AI agents (and new humans) with the repository map, first-time setup, Slurm and Kubernetes golden paths anchored on the validation tools from Add machine-readable deployment validation tools #1359, operating rules (validate don't assume, review inventories before running cluster playbooks, reboot awareness, check mode, idempotent reruns), and a list of known behaviors that look like failures but are not (Slurm login GPU hiding, Ansible fact caching, open vs proprietary kernel modules per GPU generation, uninitialized Kubespray submodule).skills/with four self-contained procedures in the cross-tool agent-skills format (SKILL.mdwith name/description frontmatter):deploy-slurm-cluster,deploy-k8s-gpu-cluster,validate-gpu-cluster, anddiagnose-driver-install. Each has preconditions, exact commands, expected outputs, and failure branches drawn from real GPU validation runs.Validation
