yolo-export SKILL.md skillA

yolo-export 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-export@git:20261105.f8d5715

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

Use when exporting or deploying Ultralytics YOLO models in Platform or code — the Platform Export tab and yolo export/model.export() for ONNX, TensorRT, CoreML, Core AI, OpenVINO, LiteRT, NCNN, ExecuTorch, and NPUs (RKNN, QNN, Hailo, Ascend, IMX, Axelera, DeepX, Xilinx), FP16/INT8 quantization, benchmarking, and non-Python runtimes. For inference with .pt weights or Platform endpoints, see yolo-inference.

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

# Export, quantization & deployment

## Fastest route: export in Platform

Open a completed model's **Export** tab, select a format, configure its arguments, and click **Start Export**. Platform runs CPU exports directly and asks for a target GPU where the format requires one (notably TensorRT); download the artifact when the job completes. For TensorRT, select the deployment device's GPU family or Jetson target; if its TensorRT/CUDA versions differ from the device's, export locally on that device instead.

Use Platform when you do not want to install each exporter toolchain locally. Use the Python/CLI path below for custom calibration, repeatable automation, local hardware builds, or immediate parity validation. See [Platform model export](https://docs.ultralytics.com/platform/train/models#export-model).

## Quickstart

```python
from ultralytics import YOLO

model = YOLO("runs/detect/train/weights/best.pt")
path = model.export(format="onnx")  # returns the exported file/dir path
```

```bash
yolo export model=best.pt format=onnx
```

Exports load straight back into `YOLO()` for predict/val — same API:

```python

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ultralytics/skills/yolo-export@sha256:e9d0b7a3b70965c6

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.
