Catalog of NVIDIA-maintained agent skills for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Kiro

Stars: 3.5k
License: Apache-2.0
Last commit: Oct 2026
Language: Python

Missed the latest GitHub check; these facts may be older.

Overview

A mirror of agent skills maintained in NVIDIA product repos, synced daily and installed with `npx skills add nvidia/skills`. The catalog covers cuOpt, cuDF, CUDA-Q, DOCA, Jetson BSP, Holoscan, BioNeMo, Dynamo, DeepStream and others, with many skills per product. Skills can be installed singly or per agent (claude-code, codex, cursor, kiro-cli, cortex).

Who it is for: Developers using coding agents with NVIDIA SDKs, CUDA-X, Jetson or DOCA

Strengths

Install one skill or several agents in a single `npx skills add` command
Skills are maintained in product repos and synced daily, so they track upstream
Wide coverage of NVIDIA software: cuOpt, cuDF, DOCA, Jetson, BioNeMo, Dynamo
Targets several agents: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Kiro, Snowflake CoCo

Weaknesses

Only useful for NVIDIA software and hardware workflows
Mirror only; fixes must go to the upstream product repos
Requires skills CLI v1.5.16 or newer, or skills may not appear in Claude Code
Skills are renamed or consolidated over time, so local copies need `npx skills update`

What it needs

Needs Node.js (npx), skills CLI (vercel-labs/skills)
Models: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Kiro, Snowflake CoCo

How to choose

Check which agent it targets and whether it works with the version you run.
Read what it adds to every prompt; big rule sets cost tokens on each call.
Prefer add-ons you can turn off per project.
