## What it does

The skill calls `scripts/run_rflow_ct.py`, which hands inference to `NV-Generate-CTMR`, checks image-and-mask pairs, and writes results to a supplied output directory. Use `scripts/list_anatomies.py` to look up anatomy options; helper scripts also cover mask-only and image-only generation.

You need `NV_GENERATE_ROOT`, CUDA, and an NVIDIA GPU with at least 16 GB VRAM. The setup also needs the `rflow-ct` weights, mask datasets, and Python packages from `requirements.txt`; model and dataset downloads take about 5.5 GB. There is no CPU fallback. The synthetic volumes are not suitable for training production medical models without independent review, and the skill is not for clinical use.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add NVIDIA/skills --skill nv-generate-ct-rflow -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/nv-generate-ct-rflow/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/nv-generate-ct-rflow/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add NVIDIA/skills --skill nv-generate-ct-rflow -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/nv-generate-ct-rflow/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add NVIDIA/skills --skill nv-generate-ct-rflow -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/nv-generate-ct-rflow/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install NVIDIA/skills nv-generate-ct-rflow
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/nv-generate-ct-rflow/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add NVIDIA/skills --skill nv-generate-ct-rflow -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/NVIDIA/skills --path skills/nv-generate-ct-rflow
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/nv-generate-ct-rflow/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add NVIDIA/skills --skill nv-generate-ct-rflow -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/NVIDIA/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/nv-generate-ct-rflow/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- generate a synthetic CT volume with its mask
- look up anatomy options by region or filter
- create a CT image from a label mask
- inspect the JSON produced by a generation run

## Example prompts
- Generate a synthetic CT volume and mask from `CONFIG_INFER.json`, saving the run under `run-01`.
- Find anatomy options for this region and filter the results by text.
- Create a CT image from the mask described in `REQUEST.json` and save it to a fresh output directory.

# NV-Generate-CT (rflow-ct)

## Purpose
- Used for generating synthetic CT volumes and masks with NV-Generate-CTMR rflow-ct. Not for production training data without review.
- Use the wrapper exactly as documented; do not replace the upstream entrypoint with a handwritten implementation.
- Do not write custom inference code for normal runs. The wrapper owns config staging, output paths, label mapping evidence, and validation.
- Manifest I/O: inputs are `config_infer_override`; outputs are `synthetic_ct_volumes` and `result_json`.

## Instructions
- Read `skill_manifest.yaml` before changing arguments, side effects, or validation gates.
- Run `scripts/run_rflow_ct.py` through the documented command below; keep outputs under a caller-provided run directory.
- If a host agent exposes `run_script`, use `run_script("scripts/run_rflow_ct.py", args=[...])`; otherwise run the Bash/Python command shown below.
- Emit a single bash code block, and keep the `python -m pip install -r "$NV_GENERATE_ROOT/requirements.txt"` step in that same command — the runtime may be a fresh environment without `nibabel`/MONAI, so dropping the install fails with `ModuleNotFoundError`.
- Do not add `rm`, `mkdir`, or any cleanup of `--output-dir`; the wrapper creates it. Use a fresh `--output-dir` instead of deleting one.
- Check the emitted JSON and paired verifier guidance before treating the run as evidence.

## Available Scripts
| Script | Purpose | Arguments |
|---|---|---|
| `scripts/_anatomy.py` | Internal helper used by the primary entrypoint. | Imported only; do not call directly. |
| `scripts/_summary_card.py` | Internal helper used by the primary entrypoint. | Imported only; do not call directly. |
| `scripts/list_anatomies.py` | Helper command for catalog or anatomy lookup. | `[--region REGION] [--filter TEXT] [--controllable]` |
| `scripts/run_rflow_ct.py` | Primary entrypoint declared by skill_manifest.yaml. | `CONFIG_INFER.json --output-dir OUT_DIR [--random-seed N] [--version rflow-ct] [--yes]` |
| `scripts/run_ct_mask.py` | Advanced diagnostic helper for standalone raw MAISI mask generation. | `REQUEST.json --output-dir OUT_DIR [--random-seed N] [--preflight-only] [--yes]` |
| `scripts/run_ct_from_mask.py` | Advanced helper for CT image generation from a MAISI label mask. | `REQUEST.json --output-dir OUT_DIR [--random-seed N] [--yes]` |
| `scripts/run_ct_image.py` | Advanced helper for CT image-only generation without paired labels. | `MODEL_CONFIG.json --output-dir OUT_DIR [--version rflow-ct] [--random-seed N] [--yes]` |

## Prerequisites
- Required environment variables: `NV_GENERATE_ROOT`.
