by skills

WARNING: guides potentially IRREVERSIBLE BlueField-4 hardware operations (PLDM firmware burns, ISO reflashes, power cycles, BMC factory resets) that can brick firmware, corrupt boot media, or cause outages — a maintenance window and rollback plan are required, and every mutating step is governed by doca-hardware-safety, loaded alongside. Use this skill for BlueField-4 (BF4) day-1 platform bring-up from the BMC: installing the BlueField/DOCA bundle ISO onto the DPU (Grace, the Arm complex) over UEFI HTTP Boot, PXE, or Redfish Virtual Media; the PLDM firmware-update flow (BMC, NIC firmware, SBIOS, ERoT) via the Redfish UpdateService and pldmtool; and a Grace Ubuntu image with optional cloud-init. Trigger on BlueField-4/BF4 bring-up phrasings even without "BF4": {bring up my new BlueField-4}, {the BlueField ISO will not boot over HTTP from the BMC}, {attach BF4 virtual media via Redfish}, {BF4 firmware Task stuck at Running}. BF3 bring-up, application launch, and library APIs belong to ot

web-performance-auditorAI-powered web performance auditor for frontend and web developers. Use it to audit a website or web app, diagnose poor Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP) and low Lighthouse scores, review JavaScript bundle size, code splitting, lazy loading, image and font loading, hydration, React rendering, Next.js/Nuxt patterns, network waterfalls, third-party scripts, and caching. Produces a prioritized, senior-engineer performance audit with a score and concrete fixes.11 installs doca-rdmiUse this skill when the user is doing hands-on DOCA RDMI (RDMA Initiator) programming — picking doca-rdmi vs doca-rdma for an accelerator-initiated one-sided RDMA flow, standing up a doca_rdmi_connection or doca_rdmi_poster, attaching a doca_dpa_completion or doca_verbs_cq before doca_ctx_start(), retrieving the DPA-side handle for a DPA kernel, auditing whether a doca_rdmi_* symbol is EXPERIMENTAL on this DOCA, or debugging DOCA_ERROR_* returns from RDMI calls. Trigger even when the user does not say "DOCA RDMI" or "initiator" — implicit phrasings include "my DPA kernel needs to post RDMA writes to a remote responder", "DPA kernel sees no completions", "function not found on doca_rdmi_* at link time", "DOCA_ERROR_BAD_STATE from completion attach", or "the DPA posted but the work request never arrived". Refuse and route elsewhere for two-sided or host-CPU RDMA, the DPA programming model, GPU-side RDMA initiation, or general RDMA/IB/RoCE concepts — those belong to other skills.0 installs tao-artifactsThe contract home for TAO's SDK-free execution pipeline — authoritative JSON Schemas for the four typed artifacts (spec-bundle, job-record, results_dir layout, best_rec) plus the fixed job-status vocabulary and the nested-not-dotted spec rule. Use when authoring or validating a spec-bundle before submit, writing or reading a .tao/jobs job-record, resolving where results land, or consuming AutoML's best_rec.json. Trigger phrases include "validate the spec bundle", "job record schema", "status vocabulary", "results_dir layout", "best_rec schema".0 installs amc-setup-calibration-stackLaunch AutoMagicCalib microservice and web UI from NGC release images via Docker Compose. Use when user says 'deploy auto calibration', 'launch auto calibration', 'launch AMC', 'start MS+UI', or 'set up auto-magic-calib'. Requires NGC API key.0 installs earth2studio-discoverFind Earth2Studio models, data sources, and examples for a weather/climate use case. Do NOT use for writing inference code, downloading data, or installation.0 installs jetson-video-benchmarkUse when measuring Jetson Video Codec SDK or PyNvVideoCodec encode/decode throughput, comparing presets or surfaces, testing codec-worker capacity with authenticated samples and user media, or producing a clearly labeled documentation-derived planning estimate when representative media is absent. Also use for a video request limited to PSNR or SSIM, to apply the terminal scope response.0 installs

tao-run-automlRun container-backed AutoML / hyperparameter optimization (HPO) for NVIDIA TAO networks using AutoMLRunner. Handles algorithm selection (bayesian, hyperband, asha, bohb, llm, hybrid, autoresearch), WandB experiment tracking, job execution on any TAO SDK platform, result interpretation, and per-rec custom evaluation hooks. Use when the user mentions TAO AutoML, hyperparameter optimization, HPO, automl, automl_settings, AutoMLRunner, tao_automl, bayesian search, hyperband, ASHA, LLM-guided search, autoresearch, or wants to tune train/evaluate/inference/distill/prune/quantize for a TAO network. Model actions use the resolved image; venv training requires an explicit request. Platform-agnostic — runs on any SDK (Brev, SLURM, Kubernetes, Docker). Do not use generic "keep improving" language alone to override a matching domain-specific DEFT workflow; attribute-labelled CLIP / SigLIP image-retrieval loops belong to tao-run-deft-pas unless HPO is explicit.1 installs jetson-customize-fanUse when you need to add, remove, edit, list, or change the boot default of an nvfancontrol fan profile on a Jetson/Tegra (Orin, Thor) target. Triggers: edit fan profile, tune fan curve.0 installs tao-list-capabilitiesAnswer what the TAO Skill Bank plugin can do by generating the response from packaged application, data, model, AutoML, and platform manifests. Use when the user asks "what can TAO Skill Bank do", "list TAO models", "which TAO workflows are available", or "what supports AutoML".0 installs i4h-catheter-navigation-render-drrRender a single DRR fluoroscopy frame from a CT cache or synthetic phantom. Use when asked to render DRR, generate a fluoro image, or smoke-test the Slang renderer.0 installs tao-run-deft-object-detectionRun the full DEFT smart-data-augmentation loop for NVIDIA TAO Grounding DINO object detection: zero-shot baseline inference, KPI analysis, per-class gap analysis, SigLIP embedding of weak images, unique-neighbor mining against a source pool, ODVG dataset staging, and retraining — repeated for a fixed number of iterations. Also prepares the source pool the loop mines from, as a separate run: Co-DETR pseudo-labeling, folding to the target classes, KITTI→COCO→ODVG conversion, and embedding. Use for prompts like "run the DEFT OD loop", "run smart data augmentation for grounding dino", "mine and retrain my detection model", "improve OD mAP with gap analysis and mining", "prep the source pool", or "pseudo-label my unlabeled images for mining"; do not use for standalone TAO training, one-off inference, or gap analysis alone.0 installs holoscan-install-containerInstall Holoscan SDK via the NGC Docker container. Use for container-based installs; not for native apt/pip/Conda installs.0 installs
