tao-train-dinov3 SKILL.md skillA
tao-train-dinov3 from nvidia-tao/tao-skill-bank is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add nvidia-tao/tao-skill-bank/tao-train-dinov3@v0.1.0Pins v0.1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

DINOv3 continual self-supervised pre-training. Domain-adapts public DINOv3 ViT backbones.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# DINOv3
> **Standalone install?** If this session was not initialized by the TAO skill bank plugin, run the `tao-setup` skill first.
Use this skill to continue self-supervised training of a DINOv3 backbone on unlabeled images, then convert, export, or run inference with a trained teacher checkpoint.
## Quick Start (docker run)
Docker-native launch — no TAO SDK and no Python on the host. Use the local
Docker/platform skill instead when it gives a stricter environment-specific
command (non-root UID mapping, cache redirects, remote daemons).
```bash
TAO_PYT_IMAGE_DEFAULT=nvcr.io/nvidia/tao/tao-toolkit:7.3.0-pyt # versions-key: images.tao_toolkit.pyt
TAO_PYT_IMAGE="${TAO_PYT_IMAGE:-$TAO_PYT_IMAGE_DEFAULT}"
RUN_ROOT="${RUN_ROOT:-$PWD}"
DOCKER_COMMON=(
--rm --gpus all --ipc=host
--shm-size=8g
--ulimit memlock=-1
--ulimit stack=67108864
-v "$RUN_ROOT/data:/data:ro"
-v "$RUN_ROOT/specs:/specs:ro"
-v "$RUN_ROOT/results:/results"
)
```
Train:
```bash
docker run "${DOCKER_COMMON[@]}" "$TAO_PYT_IMAGE" \
dinov3 train -e /specs/train.yaml
```
Inference:
```bash
docker run "${DOCKER_COMMON[@]}" "$TAO_PYT_IMAGE" \
dinov3 inference -e /specs/inference.yaml
```

How to install
mdr add nvidia-tao/tao-skill-bank/tao-train-dinov3@sha256:635069062706dc18The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
