Modal Labs (modal.com)

Overview

This is a precision wrapper for the upstream modal skill (Modal Labs, modal.com). It exists because “modal” is also a common term for UI dialogs (React/Vue/AntD/etc.).

Use this skill only when the user clearly means Modal Labs (modal.com).

When to Use

Route here when prompts mention one or more of:

• modal.com / “Modal Labs”
• CLI verbs: modal run, modal deploy, modal serve
• serverless containers for Python, batch jobs, autoscaling
• GPU workloads (inference, training, rendering) in a serverless setup

Do not use this skill for UI “modal dialog” tasks.

Setup (CLI)

# Install
uv uv pip install modal

# Login (writes token to ~/.modal.toml)
modal token new

Minimal Example

import modal

app = modal.App("hello-modal")

@app.function()
def hello():
    return "hello from Modal"

@app.local_entrypoint()
def main():
    print(hello.remote())

Run:

modal run script.py

Next Actions (choose based on intent)

• One-off run: modal run
• Long-running endpoint: modal deploy / modal serve
• GPU function: add @app.function(gpu="H100") (or another GPU type)

If you need deeper patterns (images, volumes, secrets, web endpoints), follow the upstream modal skill guidance.
