Run iterative improvement for NVIDIA TAO CLIP / SigLIP image-text retrieval on attribute-labelled data. Use when a request combines retrieval evaluation, weak-attribute or caption-pair mining, repeated retraining, and a stopping condition based on a retrieval KPI, validation plateau, or iteration budget; the customer need not know the DEFT or People Attribute Search (PAS) names. The self-contained workflow performs dataset preparation, zero-shot evaluation, attribute gap analysis…
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
# PAS DEFT Workflow > **Standalone install?** If this session was not initialized by the TAO skill > bank plugin, run the `tao-setup` skill first for host preflight, credential > checks, and cross-skill discovery. Run the canonical PAS flow as one resumable, disk-backed workflow. All PAS workflow logic, templates, and host adapters ship with this skill; customers do not need a separate source checkout. The bundled scripts make stage calls deterministic without adding another orchestration layer. This skill supports every packaged TAO execution platform: Docker, SLURM, Kubernetes, Brev, and virtualenv. The workflow produces a platform-neutral, schema-validated action bundle; the selected platform skill owns native `submit`/`status`/`logs`/`cancel` and the job-record. Virtualenv execution uses separate immutable `pyt` and `ds` runtime profiles; the workspace control `.venv` is not an execution runtime. ## Entry Contract The archive-location boundary is active as soon as the user supplies a data root, archive root, or archive file path. The first and only operation allowed to enumerate or inspect that location's contents is the packaged …

How to install
mdr add nvidia-tao/tao-skill-bank/tao-run-deft-pas@sha256:02c9f552f5a9d23fThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.4.1, 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.
