Agent Skills for NVIDIA products — install into Claude Code, Codex, and other coding agents to run Physical AI, robotics, simulation, CUDA, and RAG workflows end to end.
NVIDIA Agent Skills is an official, NVIDIA-verified catalog of portable instruction sets that teach AI coding agents how to use NVIDIA software across Physical AI, robotics, simulation, CUDA libraries, and RAG workflows. The repository serves as a centralized distribution hub, syncing skills daily from their respective product repositories and ensuring each skill carries verified signatures and governance cards. Skills are installed using the standard 'npx skills add nvidia/skills' command and work with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Snowflake CoCo, Kiro, and other agents supporting the Agent Skills specification. The catalog spans 40+ NVIDIA products including cuOpt, CUDA-Q, DeepStream, TAO Toolkit, NeMo, Jetson, Holoscan, and many more, providing end-to-end workflow guidance for GPU-accelerated computing, AI training, and deployment tasks.
Key Features
Use Cases
- 01Guide AI agents through GPU-accelerated optimization workflows using cuOpt for vehicle routing and numerical programming
- 02Enable agents to set up and run Physical AI data pipelines for synthetic dataset generation, augmentation, and auto-labeling
- 03Teach coding agents to fine-tune vision AI models with TAO Toolkit and deploy them for edge or cloud inference
- 04Allow agents to build and run medical AI workflows including DICOM handling, segmentation, and clinical ASR evaluation with MONAI
- 05Help agents configure and deploy RAG pipelines, NeMo Retriever services, and distributed LLM training on NVIDIA infrastructure
- 06Automate Jetson BSP customization, DeepStream pipeline generation, and Holoscan medical streaming application development through agent workflows

skills — FAQ
What are NVIDIA Agent Skills?+
NVIDIA Agent Skills are official, verified instruction sets that teach AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.) how to optimally use NVIDIA software for Physical AI, robotics, simulation, CUDA libraries, and RAG workflows. Each skill is a portable directory with SKILL.md instructions, governance metadata, signature verification, and evaluation datasets.
How do I install NVIDIA skills into Claude Code?+
Run 'npx skills add nvidia/skills' and select a skill from the interactive prompt, or use 'npx skills add nvidia/skills --skill <skill-name> --agent claude-code' to install a specific skill directly. In Claude Code, run '/reload-skills' to load newly installed skills in your current session.
Which AI coding agents support NVIDIA skills?+
Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Snowflake CoCo (Cortex), and Kiro are explicitly supported via the --agent flag. Any agent compatible with the Agent Skills specification (agentskills.io) can consume these skills.
Do I need API keys or licenses to use NVIDIA skills?+
The skills themselves are free and open-source (Apache 2.0 + CC-BY-4.0). However, some skills guide agents through workflows that may require NVIDIA NGC API keys, product licenses, or cloud resources (e.g., NeMo NIMs, cuOpt server, Jetson hardware). Each skill's instructions specify any prerequisites.
How do I keep skills up to date?+
Run 'npx skills update' to refresh installed skills. The catalog syncs daily from product repos, so new skills and revisions appear automatically. Use 'npx skills list' to see what's installed and 'npx skills check' to preview updates.
How are NVIDIA skills verified and signed?+
Every published skill includes a detached OMS signature (skill.oms.sig) verifiable against the NVIDIA trust anchor certificate (nv-agent-root-cert.pem). The sync pipeline enforces security scanning, signature presence, skill-card governance metadata, and evaluation datasets before publishing.
How do I install skills?+
Open the source repository on GitHub and follow its README. skills is a skill — MCP Agents Market links you directly to the official repo.
Is skills free?+
skills is an open-source project hosted on GitHub. Check the repository for its license and any usage requirements.
