At a glance

Compose or restructure SDM model recipes. An agent skill from NVIDIA/structured-data-models.

  • Works in 3 steps: Follow the processor skill: Read… → Stay sequential: Write the pipeline… → No unused wrappers: Do not wrap steps in…
  • Changing a Recipe pipeline
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Recipe Development is an agent skill from NVIDIA/structured-data-models, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Compose or restructure SDM model recipes. Use when changing a Recipe pipeline.

Its SKILL.md is about 160 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Foundation Models for Structured Data. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Changing a Recipe pipeline

Example prompts

  • “/recipe-development”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Follow the processor skill: Read AGENTS.md and processor-development. Put only generally reusable operations in sdm.processing…
  2. Stay sequential: Write the pipeline inline. Introduce a helper or wrapper only when it is required, not to name a group of steps.
  3. No unused wrappers: Do not wrap steps in Sequential, dtype casts, or named helpers unless they change behavior or remove real duplication.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 842c408. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Recipe Development loads about 156 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 72 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~156

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Compose or restructure SDM model recipes. Use when changing a `Recipe` pipeline.

Compose an SDM Recipe

  1. Follow the processor skill: Read AGENTS.md and processor-development. Put only generally reusable operations in sdm.processing. Recipe-specific one-offs stay as lambdas.
  2. Stay sequential: Write the pipeline inline. Introduce a helper or wrapper only when it is required, not to name a group of steps.
  3. No unused wrappers: Do not wrap steps in Sequential, dtype casts, or named helpers unless they change behavior or remove real duplication.
