cdf-defect-image-generation SKILL.md skillA

cdf-defect-image-generation from nvidia/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add nvidia/skills/cdf-defect-image-generation@v1.0.4

Pins v1.0.4 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Generate synthetic PCB inspection images on Kubernetes with the SMT Defect Image Generation (DIG) DAG in CDF Orchestration. The DAG renders components in simulation, turns the renders into realistic golden images (sim2real), and uses AnomalyGen to add texture defects such as solder bridges, excess solder or missing components. Simulation can also render shift, tombstone and sideflip pose defects. Use it to build DIG payloads, pick a pipeline mode (full, simulation, sim2real or defect-only)…

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 Orchestration — SMT Defect Image Generation

Run `defect_image_generation_smt_dag_k8s`: CDF Simulation renders PCB components,
CDF Augmentation turns the renders into realistic clean (golden) images, and
CDF AnomalyGen adds texture defects. Simulation can also render pose defects
(shift, tombstone, sideflip). One DAG serves every mode; `pipeline_mode` selects
which stages run.

## Requirements

Execution needs an authorized Kubernetes connection, a reachable Airflow 3
controller with the DIG DAG loaded, and storage and model access for the chosen
mode. The payload checker needs a trusted CDF Orchestration checkout and its
Airflow Python environment. Explaining the workflow or drafting JSON needs neither.

Execution readiness also requires the companion script
`skills/cdf-orchestration-preflight/scripts/storage_check.py` in the product
checkout. If it is unavailable, report the missing dependency as a readiness
blocker; do not skip the storage mapping check.

In that checkout, the payload contract is defined by
`airflow/dags/workflows/defect_image_generation_dag/callables/smt/models.py` and
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nvidia/skills/cdf-defect-image-generation@sha256:8e64338933fcc6a5

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.4, 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.
