What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps users diagnose why a SLURM job remains in PENDING (Priority) due to account-level FairShare throttling, especially when idle nodes exist and PrivateData=jobs makes the queue appear empty.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Idle-node health checks: verify that idle hardware isn't being misinterpreted as a resource crunch.
  • FairShare auditing: inspect per-account and per-user fair share, usage, and priority to identify throttling.
  • Job-level inspection: examine Priority, Reason, StartTime fields for stalled jobs and rank against the queue.
  • Recovery guidance: provide options to wait, backfill with smaller jobs, or adjust QoS/account if available.

Quick Start

Run the diagnosis checklist to determine if FairShare throttling delays a SLURM job on idle clusters.
