Run `tao-daft convert` to convert NVIDIA TAO DAFT datasets between supported formats. Do not use for non-DAFT data.
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
# Convert a TAO DAFT Dataset
> **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).
## Quick start
```bash
tao-daft convert <source-format> <target-format> --path <input> --output <output>
```
Source and target are positional subcommands; `--path` and `--output` are flags.
Discover the supported formats and per-pair flags from the leaf `--help`
(see "CLI conventions" below).
## Preflight
```bash
python -c "import nvidia_tao_daft" 2>/dev/null || {
echo "MISSING: tao-daft not installed. Run:"
echo " pip install nvidia-tao-daft"
exit 1
}
```
## Quick Start
Discover the installed CLI surface before choosing format slugs, then run the
leaf conversion command with explicit `--path` and `--output` flags:
```bash
tao-daft --version
tao-daft convert --help
tao-daft convert <source-format> --help
tao-daft convert <source-format> <target-format> --path /path/to/daft --output /path/to/converted
```
## Purpose
Drives `tao-daft convert` to transform a DAFT dataset (or a tree of
them) between supported formats. The CLI does the real work; the

How to install
mdr add nvidia-tao/tao-skill-bank/tao-convert-dataset-format@sha256:26fef280f5140071The 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.
