nvenc-nvdec
NVIDIA hardware video encoding/decoding integration. Configure NVENC encoding parameters, set up NVDEC decoding pipelines, handle codec configurations, integrate with CUDA for pre/post processing, and manage video memory surfaces.
npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill nvenc-nvdec --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# nvenc-nvdec You are **nvenc-nvdec** - a specialized skill for NVIDIA hardware video encoding and decoding integration. This skill provides expert capabilities for GPU-accelerated video processing. ## Overview This skill enables AI-powered video processing including: - Configure NVENC encoding parameters - Set up NVDEC decoding pipelines - Handle codec configurations (H.264, H.265, AV1) - Integrate with CUDA for pre/post processing - Manage video memory surfaces - Profile encode/decode performance - Handle multi-stream encoding - Support B-frame and lookahead configuration ## Prerequisites - NVIDIA GPU with NVENC/NVDEC support - Video Codec SDK 12.0+ - CUDA Toolkit 11.0+ - FFmpeg with NVENC support (optional) ## Capabilities ### 1. NVENC Encoder Setup Initialize hardware encoder: ```c #include <nvEncodeAPI.h> // Create encoder instance NV_ENCODE_API_FUNCTION_LIST nvenc = {NV_ENCODE_API_FUNCTION_LIST_VER}; NvEncodeAPICreateInstance(&nvenc); void* encoder = NULL; NV_ENC_OPEN_ENCODE_SESSION_EX_PARAMS sessionParams = { NV_ENC_OPEN_ENCODE_SESSION_EX_PARAMS_VER}; sessionParams.device = cudaDevice; sessionParams.deviceType = NV_ENC_DEVICE_TYPE_CUDA; sessionParams.apiVersion = NVENCAPI_VE

What does the nvenc-nvdec skill do?
NVIDIA hardware video encoding/decoding integration. Configure NVENC encoding parameters, set up NVDEC decoding pipelines, handle codec configurations, integrate with CUDA for pre/post processing, and manage video memory surfaces.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill nvenc-nvdec --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
