tao-setup-nvidia-gpu-host
tao-setup-nvidia-gpu-host 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 2026-09-25.
Sets up an NVIDIA GPU host for TAO GPU backends by checking and, with user approval, installing compatible NVIDIA driver, CUDA Toolkit, and NVIDIA Container Toolkit versions. Can be used to check or install on various Linux distributions, providing manual steps for unsupported systems.
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.

What it connects to
Unverified means a mention in the skill’s own description, not a citation. A wrong claim here costs nothing to correct and nothing to trust yet.
Maintenance
Host setup for TAO GPU backends. Checks and, after user approval, installs minimum-compatible NVIDIA driver, CUDA Toolkit, and NVIDIA Container Toolkit versions for Docker/local-Docker and Kubernetes GPU worker hosts. TAO-wide defaults can be overridden by the selected model's runtime profile. The `--check-only` path works on any Linux distribution; `--install` automates debian-family (Ubuntu/Debian/Pop!_OS/Mint/Zorin/Raspbian), rhel-family (Fedora/RHEL/Rocky/AlmaLinux), and suse-family (openSUSE/SLES) hosts, and prints actionable manual-install steps for everything else. Use when the user asks to "set up an NVIDIA GPU host", "check TAO Docker GPU runtime", or prepare a Kubernetes GPU worker for TAO.
