Popular Browser & Research Skills
Browser automation, web search, research, extraction, and source gathering.
Browser and research skills give agents a structured way to navigate the web, collect evidence, and turn sources into useful answers. The best options are explicit about browser requirements, external APIs, login access, and the difference between public research and authenticated automation.
- Search multiple public sources
- Extract structured page content
- Automate browser workflows
- Prepare cited research briefs
Top Browser & Research Skills
Ranked by their position in the current overall directory snapshot.
Intelligence Collection Disciplines
Run competitive research like an intelligence agency: eight collection disciplines (OSINT to MASINT), signal-to-inference chains, and fusion. Use when one-source research isn't enough.
Aiq Research
Use when asked to run deep research or AI-Q research through a reachable NVIDIA AI-Q Blueprint backend.
Doca Common
Use this skill whenever the user is doing hands-on DOCA programming on a BlueField DPU or ConnectX NIC and needs the foundation primitives every per-library context rests on — walking the doca_ctx lifecycle, discovering doca_dev / doca_devinfo and gating on doca_*_cap_* before trusting a feature, wiring doca_mmap / doca_buf_inventory / doca_buf for zero-copy I/O across libraries, driving doca_pe for completions, or DOCA Log's two-tier (--sdk-log-level vs app-side) model. Trigger even when the user does not say "DOCA Common" — typical implicit phrasings include "my tasks submit but nothing completes", "DOCA_ERROR_BAD_STATE from doca_ctx_start", "--sdk-log-level does nothing for my DOCA_LOG_DBG lines", "share a buf between doca_dma and doca_rdma", or "crashes far from the offending line". Refuse and route elsewhere for per-library questions in isolation (load doca-flow / doca-rdma / doca-eth alongside), installing DOCA (doca-setup), or doc lookup (doca-public-knowledge-map).
Doca Public Knowledge Map
Use this skill when the user needs to locate authoritative information about NVIDIA DOCA without access to the source tree — finding the right docs.nvidia.com page for a library/service/tool, identifying which DOCA libraries are installed and at what version, locating a sample on disk or its public GitHub source, decoding an on-disk path under /opt/mellanox/doca, or recovering from a 404'd or renamed doc URL. Trigger even when the user does not explicitly mention 'DOCA' or 'docs.nvidia.com' — typical implicit phrasings include 'where can I read about this library', 'which version do I have installed', 'where is the sample for X', 'this NVIDIA URL is broken what is the new one', 'what is in /opt/mellanox/doca', or 'where can I ask NVIDIA about this'. Refuse and route elsewhere for hands-on programming patterns, env prep and install verification, library API tutorials, or hardware/firmware mutation — those belong to doca-programming-guide, doca-setup, the per-library skills, and doca-hardware-safety.
Doca Structured Tools Contract
Use this skill whenever another DOCA skill says "prefer the structured tool per doca-structured-tools-contract", or when the user wants a one-shot answer that consolidates info multiple manual commands would produce — DOCA env / version / devices / capabilities / validate / host vs DPU state. Trigger even when the user does not explicitly mention "structured tool" or "doca-env --json" — typical implicit phrasings include "is there one command that tells me everything about my DOCA install", "what version is X capability available since", "every PF/VF/SF visible on this BlueField with PCIe address", "will this pipe pass validate before commit", "diff host vs DPU state", or "why does the agent give a one-line answer on host A and five commands on host B". Refuse and route elsewhere for general DOCA orientation, specific library API how-to, or install-from-scratch guidance — those belong to the per-library skill, doca-public-knowledge-map, or doca-setup.
I4h Lerobot Viz
Serve the LeRobot HTML visualizer for a converted dataset in a browser. Use when asked to visualize, inspect, or open a LeRobot dataset; not for converting HDF5 (use [[i4h-workflow-dataset-convert]]).
Jetson Print Bsp Info
Use when you need to print Jetson BSP info (L4T version, board configs, rootfs state) from a Linux_for_Tegra root on the host PC. This is an example skill.
Jetson Print Device Info
Use when you need to print Jetson device info (module model, L4T version, kernel, OS version, current power mode) from a running Jetson target. This is an example skill.
Nemo Mbridge Mlm Bridge Training
Run Megatron-LM (MLM) and Megatron Bridge training with mock or real data. Covers correlation testing, available recipes, and multi-GPU examples.
Nemo Mbridge Perf Moe Hardware Configs
Representative, point-in-time MoE training playbooks by hardware and model family. Use them as candidate seeds, then revalidate the exact runtime, semantics, topology, and steady-state throughput.
Physicsnemo Shard Tensor
Official NVIDIA-authored guidance for PhysicsNeMo ShardTensor domain parallelism — integrate domain parallelism into training/inference scripts (new or existing) with DDP or FSDP2, write and register shard patches to enable new layers/ops, and bootstrap multi-GPU correctness tests. Use when working with ShardTensor, scatter_tensor, domain parallelism, sequence/spatial sharding, ring attention, DeviceMesh + DDP/FSDP2 hybrid parallelism, or physicsnemo.domain_parallel. Do NOT use for generic PyTorch DDP/FSDP setup without domain parallelism, picking a PhysicsNeMo model or example (use physicsnemo-discover), or non-distributed training questions.
Domain Hunter
Search domains, compare prices, find promo codes, get purchase recommendations. Use when user wants to buy a domain, check domain prices, find domain deals, compare registrars, or search for .ai/.com domains.
Query
Search the FPF knowledge base and display hypothesis details with assurance information
Status
Display the current state of the FPF knowledge base
Thought Based Reasoning
Use when tackling complex reasoning tasks requiring step-by-step logic, multi-step arithmetic, commonsense reasoning, symbolic manipulation, or problems where simple prompting fails - provides comprehensive guide to Chain-of-Thought and related prompting techniques (Zero-shot CoT, Self-Consistency, Tree of Thoughts, Least-to-Most, ReAct, PAL, Reflexion) with templates, decision matrices, and research-backed patterns

Owb
Open Web Bridge (OWB) — drive the user's own real browser with the `owb` command. Read pages behind their existing logins, gather and cross-check information, fill forms, walk multi-step flows, debug their site, audit responsive/accessibility behavior, and capture or reverse-engineer network traffic. Use this whenever the user mentions Open Web Bridge or OWB by name, or a task involves "go look at this page", "pull these pages together", "do this for me on that site", "my site's frontend is broken", "how is this request signed", or anything at all that needs a logged-in session or a real browser environment rather than a plain HTTP fetch.
Deckset
Example for using Deckset to create Markdown presentations
Cypress Tap
Drives a running Cypress open-mode session through `cypress tap` to run and rerun specs, wait for fresh results, inspect reporter and command logs, and query or rewind the app under test through DOM, accessibility, styles, and snapshots. Use when authoring or debugging Cypress e2e or component specs, discovering selectors, diagnosing failures, or verifying test behavior without GUI interaction. Not for one-shot headless runs. Requires Cypress 15.21+, a Chromium-family browser, and a running `cypress open` session.
