Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when a coding agent needs documented NVIDIA-focused guidance or when you want to discover and install skills for a particular NVIDIA workflow.

Who it is for

  • Developers using Claude Code, Codex or other supported coding agents.
  • Teams building NVIDIA-focused workflows for Physical AI, robotics, simulation, CUDA or RAG.

Documented uses

  • Add NVIDIA-oriented skills to a coding-agent setup.
  • Support robotics and simulation development tasks.
  • Provide CUDA development assistance through agent guidance.
  • Add NVIDIA-focused RAG workflow capabilities.
  • Browse and update installed NVIDIA skills.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is publicly visible and licensed under Apache-2.0. Installation uses the `skills` CLI through `npx`; the README requires version 1.5.16 or newer for the documented flow.

  • Whether the required workflow is represented in the catalog.
  • Which coding agent should receive the skill.
  • Whether the local skills CLI meets the documented version requirement.
  • Whether the skill should be installed interactively, by name, or for multiple agents.
  • Whether installed skills need updating as the catalog changes.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Install one NVIDIA skill for a coding agent

Install a named NVIDIA skill and target it to one or more supported coding agents.

Before you start

  • A current skills CLI, version 1.5.16 or newer.
  • The name of a skill from the NVIDIA skill catalog.
  • A supported target agent, such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Kiro or Snowflake CoCo.

Steps

  1. Run the command below, replacing the example with the desired skill name.

    Documented command
    npx skills add nvidia/skills --skill cuopt-numerical-optimization-api --yes

  2. Add --agent claude-code or another supported agent target when installation should be specific to an agent.

  3. Repeat the --agent option when installing the same skill into multiple agents.

  4. In Claude Code, run /reload-skills to load a newly installed skill in the current session.

Expected outcome

The selected NVIDIA skill is installed for the chosen coding agent and can guide the agent when it encounters a relevant task.

Guide limitations

  • The README states that older CLI versions may install skills without making them appear in Claude Code.
  • The example skill name must be replaced with a skill available in the catalog.
