colab-compute-honesty-not-clone

Skill29 starsChanged 7 months agoMITView on GitHub

Google Colab /signup is a compute-unit storefront, not a ThumbGate GPU SKU. Steal CU-pack honesty (subscribe≠receipt, CU≠dedicated GPU, 24h background is Pro+). Never buy Pro/Pro+/PAYG from an agent session. Never clone colab-cli. Slash: /colab-compute-honesty-not-clone.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈2

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Do not click Buy / Subscribe.

    line 59
  2. Distinctive:

    Run the doctor on any Colab/GPU offload claim.

    line 60
  3. Very specific:

    Keep ThumbGate tests on GitHub Actions.

    line 61

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 308,232 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Colab compute honesty — compare, do not clone

Goal

Fail-closed compute claims for whom: ThumbGate evals and fleet offload talk — so "Colab Pro+ A100" cannot pass without a live Current-plan receipt. Colab stays a neighbor notebook host, not a product.

Constraints

NEVERALWAYS
Buy Colab Pro / Pro+ / Compute Unitsnpx thumbgate colab-compute-honesty --json
Claim Pro+ because Subscribe is on /signup--plan-proof from a Current-plan receipt
colab-cli / ngrok SSH / zero-cost A100GitHub Actions remains the eval runner
Dual-edit unverified google-colab-pro-runner theaterTreat that skill as a claim to audit

HARD fail closed. REFUSE SKU clones. Do NOT spend.

Reference

  • https://colab.research.google.com/signup (live 2026-09-17, iganapolsky@gmail.com)
  • PAYG $9.99/100 CU and $49.99/500 CU (buttons disabled on that account)
  • Pro $9.99/mo and Pro+ $49.99/mo still showed Subscribe
  • scripts/colab-compute-honesty.js

Examples (show, don't tell)

Weak: Subscribe to Pro+ and offload gate-eval to A100 via colab-cli.

Gold:

$ npx thumbgate colab-compute-honesty --json --map-only
ok: true
$ npx thumbgate colab-compute-honesty --json --claim='Colab Pro+ A100 eval sweep'
ok: false  # paid_feature_without_plan_proof

Procedures

npx thumbgate colab-compute-honesty --json --map-only
npx thumbgate colab-compute-honesty --json --claim='offload to Colab A100'
npx thumbgate colab-compute-honesty --json --clone-colab
npm run test:colab-compute-honesty
  1. Open /signup signed in. Subscribe visible ⇒ not a receipt.
  2. Do not click Buy / Subscribe.
  3. Run the doctor on any Colab/GPU offload claim.
  4. Keep ThumbGate tests on GitHub Actions.

Rubric

  • --map-only → ok=true
  • Pro+/A100/24h without --plan-proof → fail
  • live snapshot with Subscribe + --plan-proof=proplus → subscribe_button_is_not_receipt
  • --buy-pro / colab-cli → fail
  • doctor tests PASS
  • evidence: --json in the same turn
