What it does

Rtvi Cv Scaffold Vss Service is an agent skill from NVIDIA/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Scaffold a standalone RTVI CV microservice that plugs into VSS Search and Alerts profiles via Kafka mdx-raw. The shipped scaffold script is a YOLO26 reference implementation (ONNX, labels, custom parser required). Use when building a new perception microservice repo, validating the VSS integration contract, extending that scaffold for segmentation frame-mask payloads, or scaffolding with placeholders before customer YOLO26 assets exist. For swapping the detector in the stock vss-rt-cv container, use…

Its SKILL.md is about 4.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 14 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `BENCHMARK.md`, `agents/openai.yaml` and `evals/evals.json`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Project scaffolding, Microservices and Markdown. It works with NVIDIA AI Platform, ONNX and Apache Kafka. The repository describes itself as: Agent Skills for NVIDIA products — install into Claude Code, Codex, and other coding agents to run Physical AI, robotics, simulation, CUDA, and RAG workflows end to end.

When your agent uses it

  • Building a new perception microservice repo
  • Validating the VSS integration contract
  • Extending that scaffold for segmentation frame-mask payloads
  • Scaffolding with placeholders before customer YOLO26 assets exist

Example prompts

  • “/rtvi-cv-scaffold-vss-service”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Docker

Workflow steps

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

  1. runs a DeepStream pipeline with YOLO26 primary inference + tracker,
  2. converts detection metadata to the VSS protobuf schema and publishes it
  3. drops into the existing VSS compose stack via the

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 14a98ae. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3
    • docker

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • docs.nvidia.com

    Also links to:

    • github.com

    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

Rtvi Cv Scaffold Vss Service loads about 4.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 170 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,572 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~170
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~11k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Proprietary) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,572 words (~4,543 tokens).
