77 / 100 · Review before installing

Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

By NVIDIA/skills (GitHub) · coding · 3,933 stars · scanned at commit 2630133

Clone the latest NVIDIA Holoscan Sensor Bridge repo, ask which supported devkit is being used, configure the host per platform, build the correct demo container, run it, and verify HSB connectivity by pinging 192.168.0.2. Use for Holoscan Sensor Bridge setup, build, container launch, and first-connectivity bring-up.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'hsb-setup' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'hsb-setup' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named hsb-setup already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/NVIDIA/skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '2630133f22e357f2005886567a39eddcc1b520e2' -- 'skills/hsb-setup' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/hsb-setup' ~/.agents/skills/'hsb-setup' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'hsb-setup' ~/.claude/skills/'hsb-setup' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
