nvidia-broadcast

79 / 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

Use when controlling NVIDIA Broadcast through MCP to apply effects, process local media, select devices, or change camera resolution, or when Broadcast is missing or too old to expose the gateway and the user wants it installed; not for Broadcast app settings outside the MCP gateway.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Safer alternatives

Low-risk skills in the same category (coding) that look related. Check that one does what you need.

Install

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'nvidia-broadcast' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'nvidia-broadcast' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named nvidia-broadcast 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 "$d" checkout --quiet '2630133f22e357f2005886567a39eddcc1b520e2' -- 'skills/nvidia-broadcast' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/nvidia-broadcast' ~/.agents/skills/'nvidia-broadcast' && 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/'nvidia-broadcast' ~/.claude/skills/'nvidia-broadcast' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
