Tools and workflow for auditing, porting, and debugging Apple's MLX / MLX-LM code and runtime behavior on Apple silicon.
This skill provides an actionable engineering workflow for working with MLX and MLX-LM: verifying upstream behavior, running runtime probes, porting PyTorch/JAX code, debugging Metal kernels and memory/caching behavior, and validating local model loads on Apple silicon. It combines quick-start commands, probe scripts, and high-signal guidance for common MLX pitfalls.
Use when you need to fact-check current MLX behavior, audit or patch MLX-based repos, port code from other frameworks, profile GPU execution, or validate local MLX-LM inference and prompt-cache behaviors. Ideal for engineers working on Apple-silicon deployments or MLX-LM model integration.
scripts/ (e.g., mlx_probe.sh, mlx_release_info.sh) to verify runtime and releases.references/current-facts.md and references/porting-checklist.md with common caveats and checks.{}
MLX Engineering Helper provides a thorough workflow for auditing, porting, and debugging Apple's MLX/MLX-LM on Apple silicon. The SKILL.md is well-structured with clear task classification, escalation paths, and reference documents. Scripts are cleanly written with proper error handling and graceful degradation, but all require platform-specific dependencies (Apple silicon + mlx Python package) that are unavailable on this Linux host, so none could execute successfully.
mlxmlx-lmnumpygh (GH_TOKEN)Platform-specific skill for Apple silicon; expected to fail on non-Apple hosts. No security concerns — no credential exfiltration, no curl|bash, no destructive commands. Scripts use set -euo pipefail, proper error messages, and clean Python structure. The mlx_probe.sh find_python() pattern is a nice touch for portability. Architecture is solid with references/ directory separation, but references content was not included in the audit (not bundled in scripts dict). Usefulness is moderate due to narrow audience — only developers working with MLX on Apple silicon.
