Tao Run Automl Deft Pipeline
Run the canonical NVIDIA AOI three-phase training pipeline — Phase 1 AutoML baseline (HPO), Phase 2 DEFT loop (RCA → SDG → mining → plain-train retrain), Phase 3 AutoML refinement on the DEFT-augmented dataset.

What is a coding agent skill?
It is a reusable instruction package that teaches an AI agent a focused coding & development workflow, often including commands, checks, and supporting resources.
Which coding skill should I try first?
Start with a narrow task you already understand. The current category leader is Github, but requirements and access scope matter more than rank alone.
Does a popular skill mean it is safe?
No. Popularity reflects adoption and interest, not a security guarantee. Read SKILL.md, review commands and dependencies, and test with minimal permissions.
