What's on the bench.
Vss Setup Video Analytics API
Use to deploy the vss-video-analytics-api REST service standalone (config-source, data-log bind, Elasticsearch, optional Kafka). Not for full warehouse deploy.
Vss Search Archive
Use to run top-level VSS fusion search on archived video, or to ingest video files / RTSP streams for search. Do NOT use for ad-hoc visual Q&A (use vss-ask-video), live captioning (use vss-deploy-dense-captioning), or video summarization and reports (use vss-summarize-video).
Vss Query Analytics
Use this skill when reading video-analytics metrics, incidents, alerts, and sensor data via the VA-MCP server (port 9901). Not for live VLM or incident-range narrative reports.
Vss Manage Video Io Storage
Use to call the VIOS REST API (sensor list, timelines, clip extraction, snapshots, add/delete sensors and streams). Not for VLM inference or search.
Vss Manage Alerts
Use for VSS alert workflows — real-time monitoring, Alert-Bridge subscriptions, Slack notifications, incident queries, camera onboarding. Not for non-alert analytics.
Vss Generate Video Report
Use this skill when producing a VSS analysis report — Mode A per-clip VLM, Mode B incident-range via video-analytics. Not for standalone video summarization, real-time alerts, or ad-hoc Q&A.
Vss Deploy Video Embedding
Use this skill when deploying, operating, or integrating the VSS 3.2 GA RT-Embed Video Embedding microservice. Covers Docker Compose bring-up, GPU and storage prerequisites, the `/v1` REST API (file uploads, text and video embeddings, live RTSP streams, health and metrics), Redis/Kafka/OTel integration, common failure modes, and teardown.
Vss Deploy Profile
Use to select, configure, deploy, verify, debug, or tear down a VSS profile (base, search, lvs, warehouse, edge). Not for standalone microservices — use the vss-deploy-* skill.
Vss Deploy Detection Tracking 2d
Use this skill when the user wants to deploy, run, debug, tear down, or call the REST API of the RTVI-CV 2D detection / tracking microservice. Trigger when the user says things like 'deploy rtvi-cv', 'start warehouse 2d', 'add a stream', 'check rtvi-cv health', or 'stop the perception container'. Not for VLM, embedding, or analytics — use the matching vss-* skill.
Vss Ask Video
Use this skill to ask the VSS agent's video_understanding tool a fresh visual question about a recorded clip. Not for prior tool output, search hits, or metadata-answerable questions.
Tilegym Monkey Patch Kernels To Transformers
Integrate TileGym kernels into Hugging Face `transformers` models by replacing the library's submodule(s) and certain class(es)' implementations, and patching certain class(es)' init/forward/load weight methods prior to instantiating models. Used when the user requires integrating TileGym kernels into `transformers` models.
Tilegym Improve Cutile Kernel Perf
Iteratively optimize cuTile kernel performance through systematic profiling, bottleneck analysis, IR comparison, and targeted tuning. Covers tile sizes, occupancy, autotune configs, TMA, latency hints, persistent scheduling, num_ctas, flush_to_zero, and IR-level debugging. Use when asked to "optimize cutile kernel", "improve kernel perf", "tune cutile performance", "make kernel faster", or iteratively benchmark and refine a cuTile GPU kernel in the TileGym project.
Tilegym Cutile Python
Expert cuTile programming assistant. Write high-performance GPU kernels using cuTile's tile-based programming model with proper validation and optimization. Supports deep agent orchestration for complex multi-kernel tasks.

Covers: tune-once/cache/launch pattern, per-architecture configs (sm80–sm120), parameter space design (tile sizes, occupancy, num_ctas), and 7 common pitfalls with solutions.
Tilegym Converting Cutile To Triton
Converts cuTile GPU kernels (@ct.kernel) to Triton (@triton.jit). Handles standard in-repo conversion, debugging (cudaErrorIllegalAddress, shape mismatch, numerical mismatch), and mapping cuTile idioms (ct.load/ct.store, ct.Constant, ct.launch) to Triton equivalents. Covers dual-kernel layout flags (e.g. transpose=True/False + autotune grid via META) per translations/advanced-patterns.md. Use when converting, porting, or translating cuTile kernels to Triton, or debugging existing Triton translations.
Tilegym Converting Cutile To Julia
Converts cuTile Python GPU kernels (@ct.kernel) to cuTile.jl Julia equivalents. Handles kernel syntax translation, 0-indexed to 1-indexed conversion, broadcasting differences, memory layout (row-major to column-major), type system mapping, and launch API differences. Use when converting, porting, or translating cuTile Python kernels to Julia cuTile.jl, or debugging/optimizing existing Julia cuTile translations.
Tilegym Adding Cutile Kernel
Add a new cuTile GPU kernel operator to TileGym. Covers dispatch registration in ops.py, cuTile backend implementation, __init__.py exports, test creation, and benchmark in tests/benchmark. Use when adding, creating, or implementing a new cuTile operator/kernel in TileGym, or when asking how to register a new cuTile op.
Tao Validate Dataset Format
Run `tao-daft validate` to check NVIDIA TAO DAFT datasets for structure, schema, and cross-reference errors. Do not use for non-DAFT formats. Use when the user asks to validate a DAFT dataset, check DAFT schema, validate a TAO dataset format, or run `tao-daft validate`.
