tao-run-on-docker SKILL.md skillA
tao-run-on-docker 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-run-on-docker@v0.1.0Pins v0.1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

The Docker execution platform for TAO jobs — a local daemon or a remote GPU box via DOCKER_HOST=ssh://user@host. Implements the four-verb consumer contract (submit/status/logs/cancel) over the docker CLI, wired to the job-record, tao-data-io staging, and the redact lint, on top of the underlying docker conventions (--gpus, mounts, NGC auth, inspection, data-root relocation, error modes). Use to run any single-node TAO container action on Docker without the SDK. Trigger keywords — docker…
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
# Docker for NVIDIA GPU Workloads > **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). The Docker execution platform: a **consumer** that runs a model/data skill's spec-bundle by implementing four verbs (`submit`/`status`/`logs`/`cancel`) over the docker CLI, on a **local daemon or a remote GPU box via `DOCKER_HOST=ssh://`**. The verbs (§ Execution) sit on top of the docker conventions in the rest of this file — GPU flags, mounts, NGC auth, inspection, error modes — which are the *how* the model/data skill defers to. Single-node only; for multi-node use SLURM or Kubernetes. Sources: official Docker CLI reference (<https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/>) and NVIDIA Container Toolkit docs. ## Prerequisites 1. **Host GPU runtime** — by default, NVIDIA driver `>=580`, CUDA Toolkit `>=13.0`, and NVIDIA Container Toolkit `>=1.19.0`. If the selected model's `references/skill_info.yaml` declares `runtime_requirements.gpu_host`, pass those values to `tao-setup-nvidia-gpu-host` instead. Model requirements override the defaults for that workflow. …

How to install
mdr add nvidia-tao/tao-skill-bank/tao-run-on-docker@sha256:bcf21f4eaae43b82The 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.
