Based on SOC occupation classification
Check and generate changelog entries for amd-smi. Use when: reviewing PRs for changelog updates, generating release notes, checking CHANGELOG.md compliance.
Use when writing or restructuring git commits or opening/updating a pull request for amd-smi โ composing commit titles, commit message bodies, PR titles, or PR descriptions. Defines the Conventional Commits `type(amdsmi):` title convention enforced by the Systems PR Bot, the rocm-systems PR template sections, the unit-test and JIRA/ISSUE-reference gates, brevity caps, and the rule that JIRA tickets appear only in the PR JIRA ID section, never in code comments or commit bodies.
Use when finishing an amd-smi development branch โ consolidating commits into logical groups with clean messages AND deciding how to integrate the work (merge to develop, push and open PR, keep as-is, or discard). Covers commit restructuring plus the merge/PR/cleanup workflow.
Use when an approved spec exists and you need a bite-sized, file-level implementation plan before any code is written. Produces a plan ready for executing-plans or subagent dispatch.
Build and install RDC from source. Use when: building locally, installing before tests, pre-review build verification, build + install + verify. Requires GRPC_ROOT to be set.
Use when writing, planning, or improving unit tests for low-level transport or systems code โ especially when reasoning about branch coverage, test gaps, identifying which uncovered paths are worth pursuing, or deciding when a feature's test suite is ready to merge.

| description | A checklist for verifying whether AMD SMI is reporting GPU information correctly. |
Use this checklist whenever AMD SMI appears to report incorrect GPU information. The goal is to distinguish a real AMD SMI defect from a driver, firmware, environment, documentation, or expectation mismatch.
When running a test, include the following metadata to help with triage and debugging:
Capture raw output, without editing values.
amd-smi version
amd-smi list
amd-smi static
amd-smi metric
amd-smi monitor
rocminfo
rocm-smi
lspci -nn
lspci -vv
dmesg
Also capture relevant sysfs values:
find /sys/class/drm -maxdepth 4 -type f
For each tested GPU, inspect the matching card path under:
/sys/class/drm/card*/device
