CC tao-run-deft-object-detection
Run the full DEFT smart-data-augmentation loop for NVIDIA TAO Grounding DINO object detection: zero-shot baseline inference, KPI analysis, per-class gap analysis, SigLIP embedding of weak images, unique-neighbor mining against a source pool, ODVG dataset staging, and retraining — repeated for a fixed number of iterations. Also prepares the source pool the loop mines from, as a separate run: Co-DETR pseudo-labeling, folding to the target classes, KITTI→COCO→ODVG conversion, and embedding. Use for prompts like "run the DEFT OD loop", "run smart data augmentation for grounding dino", "mine and retrain my detection model", "improve OD mAP with gap analysis and mining", "prep the source pool", or "pseudo-label my unlabeled images for mining"; do not use for standalone TAO training, one-off inference, or gap analysis alone.

What is at stake
Medium-severity findings: the skill is probably honest, but read what alarmed the scanner.
Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.
The skill asks for more than the task needs: broad tool access, credential environment variables, binaries. Every extra permission widens the damage from a mistake or a compromise.
Narrow allowed-tools and the variable list to the minimum; replace binaries with readable sources or scripts.
How to improve
- The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
