NVIDIA CDF curation and retrieval. Cosmos Curator video and image pipelines (split, dedup, shard, annotate) with filtering, captioning, and embedding. Cosmos Dataset Search ingest, search, and capability qualification. TAO data mining embeddings and neighbor matching. Ships domain event catalogs, including workplace employee conduct monitoring, which requires legal review before use.

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
# CDF Curator Operator Skill GPU-accelerated video and image curation via NVIDIA Cosmos Curator inside **Cosmos Data Factory — Curation and Retrieval** (`cdf-curation-and-retrieval`). This skill is a short Curator index. Embedding handoff boundaries live in [data-mining.md](references/data-mining.md) and [curation-retrieval-workflow.md](references/curation-retrieval-workflow.md); mining execution is `make help` and the repository cookbooks. - **Video**: `split`, `dedup`, `shard`. - **Image**: `annotate` (load → filter → embed → caption → write). - **Handoff**: Curator IV2 or CE1 parquet that downstream mining can consume. See [data-mining.md](references/data-mining.md) and [curation-retrieval-workflow.md](references/curation-retrieval-workflow.md). - **CDS stitch**: Curator → CDS ingest/search. Operator Path D (public GA `1.2.0`; not supported on Blackwell GPUs): see [cosmos-dataset-search.md](references/cosmos-dataset-search.md). ## Purpose Turn raw video and image collections into curated, training-ready datasets. This skill configures and runs cosmos-curator pipelines (clip splitting, filtering, …

How to install
mdr add nvidia/skills/cdf-curation-and-retrieval@sha256:a4d53d274c95a6b4The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.0, 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.
