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.
npx skills add NVIDIA/skills
Maintenance
One-time session setup and orchestration map for the TAO skill bank. Run this first when the TAO skills were installed individually (e.g. from a public skills catalog) so the session gets the cross-skill discovery flow, credential checks, and host preflight that the bundled plugin hook would otherwise inject automatically. Trigger phrases include "set up TAO skills", "TAO session setup", "prepare TAO environment", "TAO getting started".
