Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • Declares what it does: failed

    No SKILL.md was found in the skill's directory.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills at 5a4cdd9df8.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill analyzes and optimizes Apache Spark job configurations to improve performance and resource utilization within data processing pipelines. It focuses on areas like partitioning strategies, memory management, shuffle optimization, and overall tuning of Spark jobs. The skill provides actionable steps based on best practices and validates outcomes to ensure improvements.

When to use it

  • Optimizing slow-running Spark jobs.
  • Tuning Spark's memory and executor configuration.
  • Implementing efficient partitioning strategies for data distribution.
  • Debugging performance issues within Spark applications.
  • Scaling Spark pipelines to handle large datasets effectively.
  • Reducing shuffle operations and addressing data skew problems.

Key capabilities

  • Performance Tuning: Identifies and addresses bottlenecks in Spark job execution.
  • Partitioning Strategies: Recommends optimal partitioning counts and techniques (repartition, coalesce).
  • Memory Management: Provides guidance on tuning executor memory to reduce garbage collection pressure and spills.
  • Shuffle Optimization: Minimizes wide transformations and suggests strategies like salting for data skew.
  • Serialization Improvement: Suggests using Kryo serialization or columnar formats to reduce CPU overhead.
  • Adaptive Query Execution (AQE): Configures Spark sessions with AQE features enabled (spark.sql.adaptive.enabled, spark.sql.adaptive.coalescePartitions.enabled, spark.sql.adaptive.skewJoin.enabled).

Example prompts

  • "My Spark job is taking too long to complete; can you analyze it and suggest optimizations?"
  • "How can I reduce the shuffle operations in my Spark pipeline?"
  • "What's the best way to partition my data for a Spark application processing a 1TB dataset?"

Tips & gotchas

  • Goal Clarification: Clearly define your goals, constraints, and required inputs when using this skill.
  • Domain Specificity: This skill is specifically designed for Apache Spark optimization; it's not suitable for unrelated tasks or integration with other tools outside of that scope.
  • Implementation Details: For more detailed examples and implementation guidance, refer to the resources/implementation-playbook.md file.
