Node Zombie Guardian
This skill is for managed-process hygiene inside the VCO ecosystem.
It exists to answer one question safely: which Node processes belong to VCO, which of them are stale, and which of those are eligible for cleanup without risking live external workloads.
Safety Boundary
- Only processes with
ownership = vco-managedcan ever become cleanup candidates. externalandunknownprocesses remain audit-only.- Cleanup is report-first by default.
- Fixture
-Applymode remains simulation-only and must never terminate real processes.
When To Use
- Node processes accumulate after long VCO runs and you need an ownership-aware audit.
- You want to register or observe VCO-launched Node processes through the wrapper.
- You need a Markdown or JSON report of managed vs external Node processes.
- You want to simulate cleanup of stale VCO-managed Node processes without touching real workloads.
Operator Surfaces
This skill is a focused wrapper around the operator scripts that live in the bundled vibe skill:
../vibe/scripts/common/NodeLaunchWrapper.ps1../vibe/scripts/governance/Invoke-NodeProcessAudit.ps1../vibe/scripts/governance/Invoke-NodeZombieCleanup.ps1../vibe/scripts/verify/vibe-node-zombie-gate.ps1
Quick Start
1. Launch a managed Node process through the wrapper
Use the wrapper when VCO starts a Node workload that should be tracked in the ledger.
& "..\vibe\scripts\common\NodeLaunchWrapper.ps1" `
-RepoRoot "C:\path\to\repo" `
-Command "node" `
-ArgumentList @("scripts\worker.js")
2. Audit live Node ownership and liveness
Default mode is read-only and emits a report.
& "..\vibe\scripts\governance\Invoke-NodeProcessAudit.ps1" `
-RepoRoot "C:\path\to\repo" `
-WriteArtifacts
Expected outcomes:
- classify processes such as
managed_live,managed_stale,external_audit_only - emit JSON and Markdown artifacts for review
- keep non-managed processes out of the cleanup candidate set
3. Simulate cleanup
Cleanup remains report-only unless explicitly switched, and the safety filters still apply.
& "..\vibe\scripts\governance\Invoke-NodeZombieCleanup.ps1" `
-RepoRoot "C:\path\to\repo" `
-WriteArtifacts
Use this to confirm which managed stale processes would be targeted before any real cleanup path is considered.
Verification
Run the dedicated gate before trusting changes in this area:
& "..\vibe\scripts\verify\vibe-node-zombie-gate.ps1" -WriteArtifacts
The gate proves:
- classification is deterministic on fixtures
- only managed rows become cleanup candidates
- external rows never become cleanup candidates
- report-only mode never terminates processes
- fixture
-Applymode stays simulated

pufferlib
This skill should be used when working with reinforcement learning tasks including high-performance RL training, custom environment development, vectorized parallel simulation, multi-agent systems, or integration with existing RL environments (Gymnasium, PettingZoo, Atari, Procgen, etc.). Use this skill for implementing PPO training, creating PufferEnv environments, optimizing RL performance, or developing policies with CNNs/LSTMs.
fluidsim
Framework for computational fluid dynamics simulations using Python. Use when running fluid dynamics simulations including Navier-Stokes equations (2D/3D), shallow water equations, stratified flows, or when analyzing turbulence, vortex dynamics, or geophysical flows. Provides pseudospectral methods with FFT, HPC support, and comprehensive output analysis.
metabolomics-workbench-database
Access NIH Metabolomics Workbench via REST API (4,200+ studies). Query metabolites, RefMet nomenclature, MS/NMR data, m/z searches, study metadata, for metabolomics and biomarker discovery.
build-error-resolver
Compatibility alias for build-specific error resolution. Use this when VCO routes to build-error-resolver but the upstream agent is unavailable in the current runtime.
geniml
This skill should be used when working with genomic interval data (BED files) for machine learning tasks. Use for training region embeddings (Region2Vec, BEDspace), single-cell ATAC-seq analysis (scEmbed), building consensus peaks (universes), or any ML-based analysis of genomic regions. Applies to BED file collections, scATAC-seq data, chromatin accessibility datasets, and region-based genomic feature learning.
zinc-database
Access ZINC (230M+ purchasable compounds). Search by ZINC ID/SMILES, similarity searches, 3D-ready structures for docking, analog discovery, for virtual screening and drug discovery.
