tao-train-nvdinov2 SKILL.md skillA
tao-train-nvdinov2 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-nvdinov2@v0.1.0Pins v0.1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

NVDINOv2 for self-supervised visual representation learning. Trains vision transformers via self-distillation.
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
# NVDINOv2 > **Standalone install?** If this session was not initialized by the TAO skill bank plugin, run the `tao-setup` skill first (host preflight, credentials, cross-skill discovery). NVDINOv2 for self-supervised visual representation learning. Trains vision transformers via self-distillation (teacher-student) without labels. Produces general-purpose visual features. Set train.pretrained_model_path for pretrained ViT weights. For TAO Deploy TensorRT actions (`gen_trt_engine`), read `references/tao-deploy-nvdinov2.md` first. Deploy spec templates live in this skill's `references/` folder with the `spec_template_deploy_*.yaml` prefix. ## Dataclass Schemas Generated TAO Core schemas are packaged in `schemas/<action>.schema.json`, with `schemas/manifest.json` listing available actions. Each generated schema also emits `references/spec_template_<action>.yaml` from the schema top-level `default` field. AutoML enablement is declared at the model layer in `references/skill_info.yaml` via `automl_enabled`. Runnable AutoML for an action requires `schemas/<action>.schema.json` and `references/spec_template_<action>.yaml` to exist and parse. Use the packaged selected-action schema… …

How to install
mdr add nvidia-tao/tao-skill-bank/tao-train-nvdinov2@sha256:cae6a4173d495761The 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.
