model-builder from qualcomm/qai-appbuilder is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add qualcomm/qai-appbuilder/model-builder@git:20260908.c3c5659Pins git:20260908.c3c5659 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

QAI ModelBuilder. Tools and workflows for model conversion, inspection, operator patching, quantization, and inference validation of self-converted models on Qualcomm platform. Use this skill when working with custom ONNX/PyTorch models — export to ONNX, convert to QNN/SNPE DLC, FP16/FP32/INT8 quantization, operator patching, context binary generation, and inference validation of self-built models. NOT for AI Hub prebuilt packages — use model-hub skill instead.
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
# Model Builder
> **How to use this SKILL (it is a thin dispatch layer):**
> 1. Pass the **Boundary Decision** gate below first — it decides whether this skill even applies.
> 2. Use the **Routing Table** to load the ONE reference / sub-SKILL that matches your step or problem — do NOT read everything up front.
> 3. Follow the **Core Workflow** spine; open `references/core_workflow.md` for per-step commands.
> 4. The **Blocking Conditions** and **Disciplines** below are the only rules you must hold in mind the whole time.
> 5. Trust the docs: never run commands to re-verify facts already in this file or `${APP_ROOT}\data\config\qairt_env.json` (torch/Python versions, tool paths). Don't read script source unless a reference doc is missing the detail (then update that doc).
> 6. **x64 host + user wants to run inference locally on this machine?** Read `${APP_ROOT}/factory/chat_features/_shared/x64-host-notes.md` FIRST (before Step 7). If HOST_OS is ARM64, or if inference will go via ADB, skip that file entirely.

## 🚨 Boundary Decision — pass BEFORE activating (MANDATORY GATE)
Answer three questions; **if any veto holds, stop and switch skills.**

How to install
mdr add qualcomm/qai-appbuilder/model-builder@sha256:1260771a8340bb60The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260908.c3c5659, 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.
