tao-run-deft-object-detection SKILL.md skillA
tao-run-deft-object-detection 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-deft-object-detection@v0.1.0Pins v0.1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Run the full DEFT smart-data-augmentation loop for NVIDIA TAO Grounding DINO object detection: zero-shot baseline inference, KPI analysis, per-class gap analysis, SigLIP embedding of weak images, unique-neighbor mining against a source pool, ODVG dataset staging, and retraining — repeated for a fixed number of iterations. Also prepares the source pool the loop mines from, as a separate run: Co-DETR pseudo-labeling, folding to the target classes, KITTI→COCO→ODVG conversion, and embedding. Use…
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
# Skill: tao-run-deft-object-detection
> **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).
## Execution Contract
Treat this as a disk-backed state machine, not as a prose recipe.
1. Preserve every explicit user value. `epoch 1` means `train.num_epochs=1`; a spec value or documented default applies only when the user did not supply that parameter. Show the source of every run parameter (`user`, `spec`, or `default`) in the Pre-Flight Summary.
2. After the user approves the Summary, initialize `deft_state.json` once with `scripts/init_deft_state.py`. Never hand-author or reinitialize it on resume.
3. Run every bundled or inline host-Python command through `scripts/deft_python.sh`. On startup, after context compaction, before every stage, and before any completion claim, run:
```bash
<skill_root>/scripts/deft_python.sh \
<skill_root>/scripts/audit_deft_run.py --results-dir "${RESULTS_DIR}"
```

How to install
mdr add nvidia-tao/tao-skill-bank/tao-run-deft-object-detection@sha256:27bea62cdb8d5e47The 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.
