Use this skill when a user wants to search archived VSS video that is already registered in a configured deployment — by natural-language, similarity, attribute, object-ID, or lexical tag query. Not for fresh clip Q&A, live captioning, video summarization, deployment, or source ingestion/deletion.
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
# Search archived VSS video ## When to Use - Search archived VSS video that is already registered in a configured deployment, by natural-language, similarity, attribute, object-ID, or lexical tag query. Not for: - A fresh visual question about a supplied local clip — `vss-ask-video`. - Long-form summarization of a recording — `vss-summarize-video`. - Deploying or changing a profile — `/vss-build-vision-ai`. - Ingesting or deleting a source — use the deployment's source-management workflow. Answer from the configured deployment through the installed `vss` CLI. Do not fall back to raw REST when a CLI command fails. > **Hard rule — use the `vss` CLI for retrieval.** `vss configure` has already > pointed the CLI at the deployment, so every search action goes through > `vss search run` and nothing reaches the deployment any other way. > > Four things follow: > > - use the `vss` on PATH (see Prerequisites); never `docker exec`, `kubectl > exec`, a pod shell, or a hand-built `/api/v1/search` call; > - a named source is resolved with `vss vios list` before search — never > inferred from a display name, and never substituted when missing; …

How to install
mdr add nvidia-ai-blueprints/video-search-and-summarization/vss-search-archive@sha256:372d4d4bf1b8b172The line at the top of this page pins the label v3.3.0-rc0, 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.
