Discover and run Holoscan Sensor Bridge example applications on a connected devkit. Filters available apps by the user's platform, HSB software version, board type, and sensors. Supports timed execution, failure analysis, code-edit suggestions, and iterative re-runs.
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
# HSB Application Runner Use this skill when the user wants to discover, select, and run Holoscan Sensor Bridge example applications on a devkit with a connected HSB board. This skill assumes the devkit is already set up (SSH, demo container built, host configured, board connected). If setup is not complete, instruct the user to run `/hsb-setup` first. This workflow runs applications inside the demo container. Only run it when the user explicitly invokes it. ## Before you start — required gates (do these first, in order) **Gate 1 — Read environment variables.** Before doing anything else, check these variables and print their resolved values to the user: ``` SSH_TARGET Remote devkit login (e.g. nvidia@192.168.1.50). Ask the user if not set. REMOTE_ROOT Remote working directory (e.g. /home/nvidia). Ask the user if not set. REMOTE_SUDO sudo / sudo -n / "" — default to "sudo" if not set. REMOTE_SSH_OPTS Additional SSH options (optional). HSB_PLATFORM Platform hint (optional). ``` **SSH_TARGET and REMOTE_ROOT are required. Stop and ask the user for them if either is missing.** **Gate 2 — Present the phase plan and get confirmation.** Before taking any action: …

How to install
mdr add nvidia/skills/hsb-app@sha256:4fc440a720536fefThe 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.
