openvino

E2E gate — verifies that applied patches produce a working, numerically sane end-to-end inference through the OpenVINO plugin. Handles HuggingFace/optimum-intel, native OV conversion (ovc/convert_model), and ONNX. Used by orchestrators as the mandatory gate before any PR is published.

Optionally create a draft PR to the upstream repo from a local source directory. Used by coding agents when a local source path is available in the context file.

Install Python dependencies before running verification or test steps. Choose the correct path depending on whether the agent builds OpenVINO from source or not.

Investigate and fix model conversion issues in OpenVINO Frontends (ONNX, PyTorch) — triage, debugging, accuracy comparison, and pre-submission verification.

Analyze a HuggingFace model and attempt OpenVINO conversion — probe properties, run strategy matrix, classify failures, and produce a structured routing report.

Add a new operation to the OpenVINO GPU plugin — OpenCL kernel design, oneDNN-backed paths, sub-group/LWS tuning, and functional tests.

Adds a new OpenVINO fusion transformation (subgraph to one or several operations) and corresponding tests.

Adds a new operation to OpenVINO Frontend pipelines with translator updates, registration, and tests.

Add a new operation to the OpenVINO CPU plugin — node registration, JIT/oneDNN executors (AVX2/AVX-512/AMX), and functional tests.

Adds a core operator to the OpenVINO toolkit. Use when asked to implement a new operation into OpenVINO.

Write unit tests for OpenVINO ov::Model graph transformations (passes). Use when the user asks to write, add, or refactor tests for a transformation pass (MatcherPass, ModelPass), or to modernize legacy transformation tests.

Detect and fix clang-format, clang-tidy, and copyright header violations in an OpenVINO C++ codebase. Use when the user complains about code style or formatting, asks to clean up changes, fix linting, add a copyright header, or when a style check or linting CI job is failing. Do not use for build errors, compilation failures, linker errors, test failures, runtime crashes, accuracy issues, or CMake config problems.

Troubleshooting all sorts of failures, crashes, exceptions and errors using debug capabilities. Analyze accuracy, performance, model compilation, or memory issues. Dump tensors and intermediate blobs. Serialize and visualize IRs, execution graphs. Enable verbose, logging. Profile execution. Compare layer outputs. Inspect, trace or dump transformations. Identify executed operations, nodes, primitives, kernels.

Debug why an OpenVINO MatcherPass transformation is not firing. Use this skill immediately when a user says a transformation is "not applied", a "pass has no effect", a "matcher never triggers", a pattern "doesn't match", a "callback never fires", "WrapType predicate is too strict", a subgraph "not fused" despite the pass being registered, or they see "END: PATTERN DIDN'T MATCH" in matcher logs. Also trigger when a MatcherPass works on one model but silently skips another, when the user wants to add a reproducer test for a transformation that should fire but doesn't, or when they suspect an opset version mismatch preventing a match. Do NOT trigger for: writing a new MatcherPass from scratch, debugging a pass that fires but produces wrong numerical results, crashes in pass registration, or general questions about what MatcherPass is.
