tao-generate-od-defects

tao-generate-od-defects is a skill for Claude Code from NVIDIA-TAO/tao-skill-bank. It costs 54 tokens per session (869 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for running AnomalyGenNext to create synthetic defect images and publish their object-detection labels in COCO format, a common data format for labelled images.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate fine-grained or binary defect examples from a prepared case or native testcase, using a supplied base model and recipe.
Why use it?
It turns a prepared generation case into validated labelled outputs without mixing in model training or unrelated data preparation.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tao-generate-od-defects scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 22d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/generate_od_defects.py, scripts/tests/test_generate_od_defects.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 94 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

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:

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.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

tao-generate-od-defects is a skill published in the GitHub repository NVIDIA-TAO/tao-skill-bank (97 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 869 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-10.
