Bootstrap the KERMT agent environment by verifying the host's Docker and nvidia-container-toolkit, building the kermt:latest image from the repository's Dockerfile if necessary, and running a GPU smoke test inside the container. This step is required for all other kermt-* skills.
Install
skills is a generic installer for any repository of Claude agent skills -- it reads NVIDIA/skills’s own structure rather than assuming one, the same way this page reads the skill’s own SKILL.md rather than assuming a format.

Maintenance
Bootstrap the KERMT agent environment — verify host docker + nvidia-container-toolkit, build the kermt:latest image from the repo's Dockerfile if it doesn't yet exist, and run a GPU smoke test inside the container. Every other kermt-* skill depends on this; invoke it first.
