isaac-sim

isaac-sim is a skill for Claude Code from robium-ai/robium. It costs 21 tokens per session (536 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for using NVIDIA Isaac Sim, a robot simulator that can create virtual scenes, robots, sensors, and simulated data.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps install or containerize Isaac Sim, build USD scenes, connect it to ROS 2, and run simulations headlessly or through livestreaming.
Why use it?
It helps check whether a computer has the required GPU and drivers and guides setup for local or remote use.

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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 55 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Isaac Sim

Isaac Sim is a gated simulation stack. Prove the target hardware and release-compatible runtime before designing the robot application around it.

Pass the gate

  • Check the current NVIDIA requirements for GPU architecture, VRAM, driver, operating system, RAM, and storage. An NVIDIA compute GPU without the required ray-tracing support is not interchangeable with a supported RTX GPU.
  • Isaac Sim does not run on macOS. Use a qualifying remote host or choose a different simulator; do not search for a local workaround.
  • Prefer an official, pinned container when local/remote parity matters. Verify the matching NGC tag, EULA requirements, host driver, and GPU passthrough at the time of use.

Build outward from a running simulation

  • Runtime: the chosen Isaac Sim release starts cleanly on the target host.
  • Scene: the USD stage, physics, units, and robot articulation match the intended application.
  • Sensors: frames, rates, ranges, noise, and rendering modes match the real interfaces or the stated synthetic-data purpose.
  • Integration: ROS 2 bridge version, distro, graph nodes, clock, and topic contracts agree with the external system.
  • Operation: batch jobs run headless; an interactive viewport uses a supported streaming path rather than display forwarding assumptions.

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.
