segment-anything-model SKILL.md skillA
segment-anything-model from orchestra-research/ai-research-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add orchestra-research/ai-research-skills/segment-anything-model@v1.0.0Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Foundation model for image segmentation with zero-shot transfer. Use when you need to segment any object in images using points, boxes, or masks as prompts, or automatically generate all object masks in an image.
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
# Segment Anything Model (SAM) Comprehensive guide to using Meta AI's Segment Anything Model for zero-shot image segmentation. ## When to use SAM **Use SAM when:** - Need to segment any object in images without task-specific training - Building interactive annotation tools with point/box prompts - Generating training data for other vision models - Need zero-shot transfer to new image domains - Building object detection/segmentation pipelines - Processing medical, satellite, or domain-specific images **Key features:** - **Zero-shot segmentation**: Works on any image domain without fine-tuning - **Flexible prompts**: Points, bounding boxes, or previous masks - **Automatic segmentation**: Generate all object masks automatically - **High quality**: Trained on 1.1 billion masks from 11 million images - **Multiple model sizes**: ViT-B (fastest), ViT-L, ViT-H (most accurate) - **ONNX export**: Deploy in browsers and edge devices **Use alternatives instead:** - **YOLO/Detectron2**: For real-time object detection with classes - **Mask2Former**: For semantic/panoptic segmentation with categories - **GroundingDINO + SAM**: For text-prompted segmentation …

How to install
mdr add orchestra-research/ai-research-skills/segment-anything-model@sha256:6ac5c2f96cf7d0aeThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
