nvflare-convert-lightning
nvflare-convert-lightning is an agent skill published by nvidia, listed under deploy & operate. It lives in the NVIDIA/skills repository, which has 3,735 GitHub stars and is licensed under Apache-2.0; we last read it on 2026-09-16.
Converts PyTorch Lightning training code into an NVFLARE federated job using the Lightning Client API patch, local validation, and job export. Requires the request to name federated/NVFLARE conversion or indicate multiple sites training collaboratively with local data, and PyTorch Lightning ownership. Not for non-federated Lightning work, other frameworks, or experiment workflows.
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
Convert existing PyTorch Lightning training code into an NVFLARE federated job using the Lightning Client API patch, local validation, and job export; use only when the request names federated/NVFLARE conversion or asks multiple sites to train collaboratively while keeping each site's data local, and either names PyTorch Lightning or preliminary source inspection identifies one Lightning owner; do not use for non-federated Lightning work such as DDP, profiling, inference serving, or training-loop changes, nor for plain PyTorch, TensorFlow/Keras, other frameworks, deployment, POC/production lifecycle, or experiment workflows.
