Use to deploy the vss-video-analytics-api REST service standalone (config-source, data-log bind, Elasticsearch, optional Kafka). Not for full warehouse deploy.

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.
## Purpose Deploy the video-analytics-api REST service standalone with the user's chosen config, data-log bind, and Elasticsearch / Kafka connectivity. ## Instructions Follow the routing tables and step-by-step workflows below. Each section that ends in *workflow*, *quick start*, or *flow* is intended to be executed top-to-bottom. Detailed reference material lives in `references/`. ## Examples Worked end-to-end examples are kept under `evals/` (each `*.json` manifest contains a runnable scenario). Run a Tier-3 evaluation to replay them: ```bash nv-base validate skills/vss-setup-video-analytics-api --agent-eval ``` A minimal standalone bring-up looks like: ```bash cd $REPO/deploy/docker export VSS_APPS_DIR=$(pwd) export VSS_DATA_DIR=${VSS_DATA_DIR:-/tmp/vss-data} mkdir -p "$VSS_DATA_DIR/data_log/vss_video_analytics_api" docker compose -f services/analytics/video-analytics-api/compose.yml up -d vss-video-analytics-api curl -sf http://localhost:8081/livez ``` Follow [`references/deploy-video-analytics-api-service.md`](references/deploy-video-analytics-api-service.md) for the full workflow (config source, data-log bind, infrastructure dependencies, REST endpoints).

Use to deploy the vss-video-analytics-api REST service standalone (config-source, data-log bind, Elasticsearch, optional Kafka). Not for full warehouse deploy.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add NVIDIA-AI-Blueprints/video-search-and-summarization --skill vss-setup-video-analytics-api --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-AI-Blueprints/video-search-and-summarization, a repository with 1,773 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.
