yolo SKILL.md skillA

yolo from ultralytics/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add ultralytics/skills/yolo@git:20261105.f8d5715

Pins git:20261105.f8d5715 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use for ANY task involving Ultralytics Platform, the ultralytics Python package, yolo CLI, YOLO model weights (.pt), dataset annotation, training, validation, prediction, tracking, export, deployment, or the detect / segment / semantic / depth / classify / pose / OBB vision 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

# Ultralytics YOLO

Run the same lifecycle on three complementary surfaces:

- **[Ultralytics Platform](https://platform.ultralytics.com)** — the fastest start: upload or clone data, annotate in the browser, train on cloud GPUs, inspect metrics, test predictions, export, and deploy a dedicated endpoint without local setup.
- **`ultralytics` package / `yolo` CLI** — use local or remote compute, scripts, notebooks, custom pipelines, and exported artifacts directly.
- **`ul` CLI** (Python 3.11+, installed by `ultralytics` or `ultralytics-platform`) — script the Platform API itself: `ul cloud <resource> <operation> key=value` lists, creates, clones, trains, exports, and deploys Platform resources from a terminal (see `platform-cli`).

`ul cloud train|predict|export` upload local inputs as needed and run on Platform. Training returns after submission; add `watch` to follow and download results. `ul cloud download` uses the printed model URI and waits if needed; Ctrl-C stops waiting without canceling training. All four shortcuts need `ultralytics` installed; the `ul cloud <resource> <operation>` commands do not.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ultralytics/skills/yolo@sha256:604e45919cc2e2f0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.f8d5715, 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.
