separate
Use when operating PAIDF Curation and Retrieval or NVIDIA Cosmos Curator pipelines (split, filter, caption, embed, dedup, shard, image annotate) or PAIDF Data Mining nearest-neighbor matching on Curator embeddings. Activate for Make or CLI pipeline config, GPU run preflight, FFmpeg sidecar, SAM3 keys, or Curator-to-TAO handoff. Do not use for generic ETL, vector-database RAG, model training, orchestration, or embeddings outside Cosmos Curator and PAIDF Data Mining.
When to use
- Turn raw video and image collections into curated, training-ready datasets. This skill configures and runs cosmos-curator pipelines (clip splitting, filtering, captioning, embeddings, SAM3 event verification, dedup, WebDataset sharding, im…
When not to use
- Requires NVIDIA GPU(s); pipelines are not CPU-only. SHM is bounded by host RAM.
- Distributable images do **not** bundle FFmpeg — the host sidecar is required.
- Emit configs as flat `snake_case` YAML. PAIDF v1.1 validation also accepts
- Upstream image annotate supports config-file mode via
- The full pitfall list (build, config, image pipeline, SAM3 keys) is in
- Dataset Search (CDS and Milvus compose) is a separate Make surface
