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

isaac-sim 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 4d ago.

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.

isaac-sim

The NVIDIA-ecosystem entry point for robium: installing and containerizing Isaac Sim, meeting its GPU/driver floor, building USD scenes, adding robots and sensors, bridging to ROS 2, and running headless with livestreaming on a remote server. Isaac Sim is a GPU-gated tool, not a default; the very first thing this skill does, every time, is check whether the target machine can run it at all. as of 2026-07-10 the current release is Isaac Sim 6.0.1 (the nvcr.io/nvidia/isaac-sim container tag and the isaacsim PyPI package version track together), verified by direct fetch of docs.isaacsim.omniverse.nvidia.com and the NGC catalog page on 2026-07-10; see references/setup-and-requirements.md for exactly how each fact below was checked. GPU/driver/OS requirements change per release; re-verify before trusting a number here in a future session.

When to use this skill

  • Installing or containerizing Isaac Sim, checking whether a machine meets its GPU/driver floor, building or loading a USD scene, adding a robot or sensor, wiring the ROS 2 bridge, or running headless/livestreamed on a remote box.
  • The trigger phrases in the description: 'isaac sim', 'omniverse', GPU photorealistic simulation, synthetic data generation, NVIDIA robotics ecosystem work.
  • Someone asks "should I use Isaac Sim or Gazebo?" before a GPU has been confirmed: answer the GPU question first (see Key directives), don't assume Isaac Sim is available.
  • Cross-references: go to the sibling skill instead when the question is:
    • Whether to use Isaac Sim at all vs. Gazebo or something else → the simulation skill (the architect skill's stack-selection reference carries the same decision tree). This skill assumes Isaac Sim has already been chosen.
    • No RTX-class GPU availablegazebo. Don't try to make Isaac Sim work without the GPU floor; route away instead (see Key directives).
    • RL training at scale on top of Isaac Sim (parallel GPU environments, policy training loops) → isaac-lab. This skill stops at "the sim is running, a robot and sensors are in it, and data can be produced"; training loops are isaac-lab's territory.
    • Generic Docker/GPU-container mechanics (NVIDIA Container Toolkit install, --gpus all, CUDA-driver version matching, headless-display strategy in general) → environments. This skill's container guidance assumes that groundwork is already in place and covers only what's Isaac-Sim-specific on top of it.
    • Synthetic-data STRATEGY: which datasets/sources to combine, how much synthetic vs. real data a project needs → the data umbrella skill. This skill owns the mechanics of generating synthetic data inside Isaac Sim (Replicator, writers, output formats); see Usage patterns.
    • ROS 2 mechanics beyond the bridge itself (workspaces, colcon, launch files, TF2, QoS) → ros2. This skill's ROS 2 content is limited to what the bridge extension publishes/subscribes.
    • Lightweight simulation, or a sim that doesn't need a GPUgazebo.
    • The whole-stack decision this feeds into → architect (routes here, gated on the GPU floor).

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.

isaac-sim is a skill published in the GitHub repository robium-ai/robium (9 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 125 tokens to every session and 4,486 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 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 2026-09-03.
