Resolves #202
The agent kept trying to
pip install flash-attnin jobs, which often takesages to compile or fails outright on the job's CUDA/torch combo. The HF
kernelslibrary lets you pull a prebuilt flash-attn (and friends) straightfrom the Hub via
attn_implementation="kernels-community/flash-attn2".HARDCODED UNAVAILABLE PACKAGESbullet insystem_prompt_v3.yamlto recommend kernels first and only fall back to
pip installwhen no Hubkernel covers the need. Listed the common kernel ids (
flash-attn2,vllm-flash-attn3,paged-attention) so the agent doesn't have to guess.kernelsentry inexplore_hf_docs. The old description("Lightweight execution environments and notebook-style workflows") was
describing something else entirely and would have sent the agent the wrong
way when it actually went looking.
