Skills are portable instruction sets that teach AI agents how to use NVIDIA software optimally: Physical AI and robotics workflows, simulation, CUDA-X libraries, RAG and AI Blueprints, and platform tools. This repository is a catalog: skills are maintained in their respective product repos, and mirrored here daily via an automated sync pipeline. Skills are being added continuously, so check back for updates. We are building this infrastructure in the open, and contributions are welcome. See the Roadmap for what is planned next.
Quickstart
Install NVIDIA skills with the default skills CLI flow:
npx skills add nvidia/skills
The CLI runs through npx and prompts you to choose a skill and install destination. You do not need to clone this repo or copy skill folders by hand.
Requires a current
skillsCLI (v1.5.16 or newer). Installing vianpx skills@latest add nvidia/skillsalways uses the latest. On older CLIs (v1.5.15 and earlier), skills may install but not appear in Claude Code — see Troubleshooting.
The skill is available the next time your agent loads skills and encounters a relevant task. For example, ask your agent to "solve a linear programming problem with cuOpt" and the skill guides it through the cuOpt Python API. In Claude Code, run /reload-skills to load newly installed skills in your current session.
Install One Skill Without Prompts
Use this when you already know the skill name and want to skip prompts.
npx skills add nvidia/skills --skill cuopt-numerical-optimization-api --yes
Replace cuopt-numerical-optimization-api with any skill name from the Skill Catalog.
Install for a Specific Agent
Use --agent to target a specific AI coding agent. Initially, we'll support common client targets, expanding the list over time. For the full list of clients supported by the spec, see the skills CLI Supported Agents table.
Claude Code
npx skills add nvidia/skills --skill cuopt-numerical-optimization-api --agent claude-code
Codex
npx skills add nvidia/skills --skill cuopt-numerical-optimization-api --agent codex
Snowflake CoCo
npx skills add nvidia/skills --skill cuopt-numerical-optimization-api --agent cortex
Cursor
npx skills add nvidia/skills --skill cuopt-numerical-optimization-api --agent cursor
Kiro
npx skills add nvidia/skills --skill cuopt-numerical-optimization-api --agent kiro-cli
Use --agent more than once to install the same skill into multiple agents.
npx skills add nvidia/skills \
--skill cuopt-numerical-optimization-api \
--agent claude-code \
--agent codex \
--agent cursor \
--agent kiro-cli
