tao-finetune-cosmos-reason SKILL.md skillA

tao-finetune-cosmos-reason from nvidia-tao/tao-skill-bank is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add nvidia-tao/tao-skill-bank/tao-finetune-cosmos-reason@v0.3.6

Pins v0.3.6 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Shared Cosmos3 frontend that explicitly routes Cosmos Framework and Cosmos-RL, validates runtime model/video-dataset/SLURM inputs, consumes an SQSH or packaged backend image, optionally plans explicit clean source builds, prepares checkpoints, validates the first update in-process, and returns token-weighted losses and task-aware accuracy.

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

# Cosmos3 TAO training

Keep one shared model-facing frontend. Backend image fields and contract paths
live under `backend_contracts` in `references/skill_info.yaml`; image literals
are stamped from `versions.yaml`, while referenced backend YAMLs define native
runtime schemas. Never translate between them.

## Mandatory runtime intake

Before planning training, collect all of the following. Do not infer a path
from history, another user, a prior job, an image, or a developer checkout.

- `base_model_path_or_uri`. For a Hugging Face model ID or URL, accept an
  optional friendly `base_model_revision` such as a branch or tag. If omitted,
  resolve `main`; do not ask the user for a commit SHA. Resolve the selected
  ref read-only through the Hub API to its immutable commit and seal the model
  ID, requested ref, and resolved SHA in the plan. A complete local snapshot
  needs no revision and is sealed by its file fingerprints.
- For Cosmos3-Nano, an explicit input-checkpoint `model_type`: `qwen3_vl`
  or `cosmos3_omni`. If the user did not supply it, ask once before planning;
  never infer the choice from `config.json`, a model ID, a path name, or a
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nvidia-tao/tao-skill-bank/tao-finetune-cosmos-reason@sha256:eed10c7a33e033c6

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.3.6, 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.
