tao-generate-image-grounding
Two-step image grounding pipeline: extracts referring expressions from (image, caption) pairs and grounds them to pixel-space bounding boxes via a VLM. Use when the user wants to ground captions to bboxes, generate phrase-grounded annotations, auto-label images for grounding, or run the image_grounding pipeline. Triggers include 'image grounding', 'phrase grounding', 'ground captions', 'auto-label image grounding', 'image_grounding'."

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Image Grounding Pipeline Turn `(image, caption)` pairs into per-image grounded annotations: cleaned captions, referring expressions with character spans, and pixel-space bounding boxes for each expression. A single VLM (Gemini or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint) handles both steps. ## Purpose Generate phrase-grounded training data for referring-expression and grounding models. The VLM acts as a "

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add NVIDIA/skills --skill tao-generate-image-grounding --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 NVIDIA/skills, a repository with 2,789 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.
