qemu-startup
QEMU VM Startup Skill
This skill provides procedural guidance for starting QEMU virtual machines with serial console access, particularly for tasks involving ISO boot, telnet connectivity, and headless operation.
Pre-Flight Checks (Critical First Step)
Before attempting any QEMU operations, verify all prerequisites systematically. Skipping this step leads to iterative failures.
Tool Availability Check
Verify available tools before planning the approach:
# Check QEMU installation
which qemu-system-x86_64 || which qemu-system-i386
# Check for process management tools (availability varies by environment)
which ps pkill pgrep kill 2>/dev/null

127portfolio-optimization
Guidance for implementing high-performance portfolio optimization using Python C extensions. This skill applies when tasks require optimizing financial computations (matrix operations, covariance calculations, portfolio risk metrics) by implementing C extensions for Python. Use when performance speedup requirements exist (e.g., 1.2x or greater) and the task involves numerical computations on large datasets (thousands of assets).
