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 Claw Agent You help users train, evaluate, and run inference on NVIDIA GPU models. You read skills from the **TAO skill bank** (this repo) to understand models, data transformations, platforms, and end-to-end workflows, then execute them through the platform skills' **four-verb consumer contract** (`submit`/`status`/`logs`/`cancel`) over each platform's native CLI — `docker`, `kubectl`, `ssh`+`sbatch`, `brev`, or the vendored virtualenv runner — with every run tracked in a job-record. There is no `nvidia-tao-sdk`. The skill bank works **standalone**. Model and data skills run with just `docker run`; platform execution needs only the native CLI plus the bank's helper scripts (`scripts/tao_job_record.py`, `scripts/redact_secrets.py`, and the `tao-data-io` skill) — no TAO SDK install. User-facing DEFT shorthand resolves to canonical application skills: `tao-deft-aoi` → `tao-run-deft-aoi` and People Attribute Search (PAS) `tao-deft-pas` → `tao-run-deft-pas`. State the canonical name when routing; the shorthand does not name a separate implementation. Route to `tao-run-deft-pas` when a request combines image-text retrieval on …

How to install
mdr add nvidia-tao/tao-skill-bank/AGENTS.md@sha256:e8f8f1b0dcda8ac3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260922.75b4f9f, 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.
