  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 6 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by NVIDIA-TAO on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Tao Generate Od Defects AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/NVIDIA-TAO/tao-skill-bank/tree/main/skills/data/tao-generate-od-defects
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/NVIDIA-TAO/tao-skill-bank.git /tmp/tao-skill-bank
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/tao-skill-bank/skills/data/tao-generate-od-defects .claude/skills/tao-generate-od-defects
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Tao Generate Od Defects in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Tao Generate Od Defects on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Tao Generate Od Defects is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Generate AnomalyGenNext OD Defects

This leaf uses the upstream generator and pseudo-labeler in the pinned public container. It does not prepare detector gaps, run AMP, train AnomalyGenNext, or append outputs to a detector training set. Read references/execution-contract.md when adapting input or completion behavior, and references/container-runtime.md before submission.

Inputs

Pass either:

  • --inputs-dir pointing to the completed output of tao-prepare-anomalygennext-inputs; or
  • --input-data-path, --checkpoint, and matching --recipe for a native AnomalyGenNext testcase.

Also provide the Cosmos3-Nano base checkpoint, the complete AnomalyGenNext checkpoint root, and one or more GPUs. Every testcase image and aligned mask must exist, every anomaly type must occur in the recipe, and the requested row count must match the testcase. When a prepared integrity manifest exists, every recorded hash is verified before generation.

Run

Invoke tao-launch-workflow, review the exact image, mounts, GPU shape, runtime, and output directory, then submit the generate action:

bash
scripts/generate_od_defects.py \
  --inputs-dir /results/prepared_inputs \
  --base-checkpoint /models/Cosmos3-Nano \
  --checkpoint-root /workspace/paidf-anomalygen/checkpoints \
  --output-dir /temporary/generation \
  --published-root /persistent/generation \
  --no-guardrail \
  --num-gpus 1

When execution uses temporary storage, --published-root records the persistent locations that will contain the saved results.

Guardrails are enabled by default and preserve the native invocation without a guardrail flag. The wrapper appends --no-guardrail only when explicitly disabled. --no-guardrail disables text screening, image content-safety screening, and face blurring together. The checkpoint root is mounted over the image's canonical /workspace/paidf-anomalygen/checkpoints tree and validated before GPU work. The Nano tokenizer, Edge processor, and DINOv2 assets are always required; guardrail-enabled runs additionally require the Qwen3Guard and Cosmos Guardrail repositories. Generation is forced offline after validation. The selected platform must honor the declared checkpoint_root.container_path; the generation leaf rejects a different mount point. The base-checkpoint argument remains separate: it is the parent containing checkpoint.json and the model/ checkpoint directory.

Completion

For each dataset, generated + guardrail_blocked must equal requested rows. With --no-guardrail, generated must equal requested rows and guardrail_blocked remains zero. The validation summary records the selected guardrail mode. The pseudo-label count must match generated images, each image needs an annotation, categories must be declared anomaly types, and every COCO bbox must be positive and inside its image. The action emits:

text
DATASET/raw/
DATASET/pseudo_labels/coco_annotations.json
pseudo_labels/coco_annotations.json
pseudo_labels/coco_annotations_od_defect.json
validation_summary.json
status.json

The native COCO preserves TEXTURE+DEFECT categories. The binary file maps all annotations to defect. Only a calling application may admit these outputs to training; this leaf always reports training_pool_mutated=false.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Tao Generate Od Defects AI skill do?

Run AnomalyGenNext 1.1 inference from a native testcase or a prepared generation plan, then publish validated fine-grained and binary COCO labels. Use for synthetic object-detection defect generation, not model training.

Why use Tao Generate Od Defects on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Tao Generate Od Defects is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Tao Generate Od Defects in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/NVIDIA-TAO/tao-skill-bank/tree/main/skills/data/tao-generate-od-defects. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Tao Generate Od Defects?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Tao Generate Od Defects?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Tao Generate Od Defects with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Tao Generate Od Defects AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by NVIDIA-TAO under the Apache-2.0 license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
