Daft Skills#

Daft ships with built-in skills that help AI coding agents work effectively with Daft.

Available skills#

daft-udf-tuning#

Optimize User-Defined Functions for performance.

Triggers: GPU inference setup, slow UDFs, async or batch processing questions.

What it helps with:

  • Choosing between @daft.func (stateless), @daft.cls (stateful), and @daft.func.batch (vectorized)
  • Async I/O patterns for web APIs
  • GPU batch inference with PyTorch/model loading via @daft.cls(gpus=N)
  • Tuning max_concurrency, batch_size, gpus, and into_batches(N)

daft-distributed-scaling#

Scale single-node workflows to distributed execution.

Triggers: Performance optimization, handling large datasets, distributed execution.

What it helps with:

  • Choosing between shuffle (repartition(N)) and streaming (into_batches(N)) strategies
  • Calculating optimal partition counts for your cluster
  • Avoiding OOM errors with heavy data (images, tensors)
  • Advanced tuning formulas for repartitioning and streaming

daft-docs-navigation#

Navigate Daft's documentation for APIs, concepts, and examples.

Triggers: General questions about Daft APIs, concepts, or searching the docs.

What it helps with:

  • Navigating key doc locations: API reference, optimization, distributed, UDFs, connectors
  • Searching for API usage in the docs/ directory
  • Browsing the docs structure via docs/SUMMARY.md

Installation#

Already cloned Daft (automatic)#

If you're working inside a Daft clone, the skills are already available. No setup needed - Claude Code picks them up from .claude/skills/.

Install with npx skills add#
