KDA provides a documented workflow and prompt templates that orchestrate coding agents to handle performance-sensitive CUDA kernel development. It includes repository-facing agent instructions, a generic starter prompt, and a community wishlist where users submit kernel optimization requests for NVIDIA B200 and B300 GPUs. The project is positioned as an early research prototype from NVIDIA Labs.
