dali-dynamic-mode SKILL.md skillA
dali-dynamic-mode from nvidia/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add nvidia/skills/dali-dynamic-mode@git:20260616.8491888Pins git:20260616.8491888 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

DALI imperative dynamic mode (`nvidia.dali.experimental.dynamic`, ndd): use when working on ndd code or migrating pipelines; skip pipeline-only tasks.
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
# DALI Dynamic Mode ## Purpose Guide AI agents in writing, reviewing, and migrating code that uses DALI's imperative dynamic-mode API, `nvidia.dali.experimental.dynamic` (`ndd`). ## Instructions - Import dynamic mode as `nvidia.dali.experimental.dynamic as ndd` and write code as direct `ndd` calls in ordinary Python; do not use pipeline-mode APIs such as `Pipeline`, `@pipeline_def`, `pipe.build()`, or `pipe.run()`. - Treat readers as stateful: create them once, reuse them across epochs, and pass `batch_size` to `next_epoch(...)`. - Pass explicit `batch_size` to random ops; there is no pipeline-level batch size to inherit. - Use dynamic-mode API conventions: `device="gpu"` instead of pipeline-mode `"mixed"`, `Batch.tensors[...]` for sample selection, and `Batch.slice[...]` for per-sample slicing. - Use `.torch()` to convert a tensor or batch to a PyTorch tensor. Use `pad=True` for batches with variable shapes. ## Prerequisites - To run or validate code, NVIDIA DALI must be installed with dynamic mode importable as `nvidia.dali.experimental.dynamic`. - GPU decode or GPU operators require a CUDA-capable DALI build and an available NVIDIA GPU/driver. …

How to install
mdr add nvidia/skills/dali-dynamic-mode@sha256:48ec583090216b4cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260616.8491888, 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.
