[See setup guidance ↓](#setup)[Original source ↗](https://undominated.ai/resources/skills/undominated-h2o-heavy-hitter-eviction-audit/definition.md) SOURCE REVIEW Reviewed 2026-10-08 Evidence 3 linked sources Publisher Undominated.ai Licence [MIT ↗](https://undominated.ai/resources/skills/undominated-h2o-heavy-hitter-eviction-audit/LICENSE.txt) Revision 3ca5c713fad1 [Read what was—and wasn’t—checked ↓](#review) “Audits Heavy Hitter Oracle (H2O) KV cache eviction and critical prompt token retention under memory limits.” [Undominated.ai · upstream description ↗](https://undominated.ai/resources/skills/undominated-h2o-heavy-hitter-eviction-audit/definition.md) Our analysis follows below. 01 / THE REASONING ## Why this made the selection. - Pairs a bounded workflow with an offline Python checker and explicitly synthetic example inputs. - Created for recurring evidence and comparison failures: missing facts remain unknown and every conclusion keeps its scope. ### A good fit for - Audit H2O KV pruning configurations to verify benchmark accuracy retention while reducing VRAM usage. ### Weigh up before choosing - Evaluates observed accuracy retention under selected token budgets; does not generate prompt responses. - Fixture checks establish the documented local behaviour, not performance on an unrestricted set of real tasks. - Public GitHub source availability is not yet verified; the complete download contains the reviewed source. - A new npm install path is not yet verified. Use the complete source download. - A pass checks the supplied JSON only. Recomputed fields are listed in the skill. It does not certify compliance, safety, or a market price. 02 / THE REVIEW RECORD ## What we actually inspected. Source review has boundaries. A clear record is more useful than a “safe” badge. ### Material inspected - Original definition and MIT licence - Bundled checker source, input contract and synthetic examples ### Our findings - First-party resource authored by Undominated.ai; this is our own verification record, not an independent endorsement. - The download preserves the complete source and supporting files. Its manifest hashes identify the exact bytes. - The checker type-checks every declared field, recomputes only identities that match the bundled synthetic example, and does not emit a compliance or release flag. ### Not established by this review - Model compliance with these instructions on arbitrary tasks - Native integration in every agent host - Public GitHub source identity - Remote installation through the standard Skills CLI - The new npm resource CLI installation The review applies to the material and revision named here. A newer upstream release can change its behavior. 03 / PUT IT TO WORK ## Add a skill to your workflow. [Upstream setup instructions ↗](https://undominated.ai/resources/skills/undominated-h2o-heavy-hitter-eviction-audit/definition.md) - Download the complete bundle from https://undominated.ai/resources/skills/undominated-h2o-heavy-hitter-eviction-audit/bundle.zip and extract it into a new directory. - Place the extracted directory at .agents/skills/undominated-h2o-heavy-hitter-eviction-audit/ or your host's documented skills directory. Preserve SKILL.md, scripts, examples and licence files together. - Run the documented synthetic example from the skill directory with Python 3.10 or later before using your own evidence. ### Before you start - An Agent Skills compatible host - Python 3.10 or later for the optional checker ### Compatibility Agent Skills compatible hosts · Python 3.10+ ### Implementation Python · Markdown ### Local, explicit inputs - read:user-selected-local-file ### Cost model MIT source at no charge. Your agent host or model provider may charge for use; the included offline checks require no paid API. THE COMPLETE REVIEWED DEFINITION ## Read it before you reuse it.

Recomputed fields must match the other inputs. A pass is not a compliance, safety, or price verdict." license: MIT metadata: author: Undominated.ai version: "1.1.0" --- # H2O heavy hitter eviction audit ## Description Audits Heavy Hitter Oracle (H2O) KV cache eviction and critical prompt token retention under memory limits. ## Category `serving` ## Tags `serving`, `h2o`, `kv-cache`, `eviction`, `compression` ## When to Use Audit H2O KV pruning configurations to verify benchmark accuracy retention while reducing VRAM usage. ## Operational Limitations Evaluates observed accuracy retention under selected token budgets; does not generate prompt responses. ## Verification Script Run the deterministic verification checker: ```bash python3 scripts/check.py examples/synthetic.json ``` Exit codes: - `0`: Check passed and thresholds satisfied. - `1`: Threshold breach or operational violation detected. - `2`: Schema error or invalid usage. ## What the checker recomputes The original threshold checks still apply: - `accuracy_retention_percent` must not be < `min_accuracy_retention`. Every other declared field is type-checked. A negative value is rejected except for deltas, drifts, and gains. A type check does not, by itself, prove the measurement. `population` and `observedAt` are required. The bundled examples are synthetic fixtures, not market measurements. ```bash python3 scripts/check.py examples/synthetic.json python3 scripts/check.py examples/contradiction.json python3 scripts/check.py examples/broken.json ``` Exit 0 is a pass, exit 1 is a review, and exit 2 is invalid input. A pass does not certify a provider, a regulation, a release, or a price. The download contains SKILL.md . Extract the whole bundle; the supporting files are required. Inspect the included MANIFEST.json for file hashes. By **Undominated.ai**.
