From the author

Run iterative improvement for NVIDIA TAO CLIP / SigLIP image-text retrieval on attribute-labelled data. Use when a request combines retrieval evaluation, weak-attribute or caption-pair mining, repeated retraining, and a stopping condition based on a retrieval KPI, validation plateau, or iteration budget; the customer need not know the DEFT or People Attribute Search (PAS) names. The self-contained workflow performs dataset preparation, zero-shot evaluation, attribute gap analysis, caption-space k-NN mining, history-aware selection, retraining, and re-evaluation. Treat `tao-deft-pas` as shorthand for this canonical `tao-run-deft-pas` workflow. Do not use for standalone CLIP training, one-off evaluation or embedding, generic k-NN mining, or AOI/ChangeNet DEFT workflows.

Requirements and compatibility

Works with: Claude Code, Claude apps, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Kiro, OpenCode, Goose, Amp, Roo Code, JetBrains Junie, Factory Droid, Devin (ex-Windsurf), Mistral Vibe, OpenHands, Letta

“Works with” means the tool reads the open Agent Skills format; a skill written for one tool may use features others lack.

Needs: Declares allowed tools, Needs Python

The author says: Requires one supported TAO execution platform (Docker, SLURM, Kubernetes, Brev, or virtualenv), accessible NVIDIA GPUs, the two PAS dataset export archives, and Python 3.9+ with stdlib venv/ensurepip and pip for control; virtualenv execution additionally requires the documented CPython 3.12 pyt and ds profiles.
