tao-mine-nearest-neighbors SKILL.md skillA
tao-mine-nearest-neighbors from nvidia-tao/tao-skill-bank is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add nvidia-tao/tao-skill-bank/tao-mine-nearest-neighbors@v0.1.0Pins v0.1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Run TAO Data Services TMM nearest-neighbor mining from embedding parquet files. Use when a workflow needs to mine source samples closest to target samples.
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
# TAO Mine Nearest Neighbors Use this skill to run TAO Data Services TMM nearest-neighbor mining. The skill consumes embedding parquets and writes a mined source-sample parquet plus a mining summary. It does not compute embeddings; upstream steps must produce the source and target embedding parquets first. The container entrypoint is: ```bash tmm nearest_neighbors -e /absolute/path/to/nearest_neighbors.yaml ``` TAO Data Services requires `-e/--experiment_spec_file`. The `tmm` console script converts that YAML into Hydra `--config-path` and `--config-name` arguments internally. ## Inputs The user can provide either an existing nearest-neighbors YAML spec or the fields needed to generate one. Required spec fields: | Field | Meaning | |---|---| | `source_parquet` | Absolute path to the candidate/source embeddings parquet. | | `target_parquet` | Absolute path to the target/query embeddings parquet. | | `output_parquet` | Absolute path where TAO Data Services should write mined source filepaths. | Common optional fields: | Field | Default | Meaning | |---|---:|---| | `topn` | `5` | Number of nearest source samples to retrieve per target sample. | …

How to install
mdr add nvidia-tao/tao-skill-bank/tao-mine-nearest-neighbors@sha256:7d3617a5d687e90cThe 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.
