What tao-run-deft-aoi does

This skill coordinates a full AOI improvement cycle for PCB inspection models. It evaluates the baseline, investigates failure causes, creates synthetic defects with Cosmos AnomalyGen or AMP, mines data with k-NN, retrains the model, then checks deployment conditions against a customer-defined metric and constraints. Its scope is VisualChangeNet and ChangeNet workflows, not a standalone training run or one-off inference.

Progress is recorded in deft_state.json, which the workflow uses to resume from committed stages. Docker and nvidia-container-toolkit are required, and individual stages may need additional resources. Air-gapped runs rely on assets staged in advance; network access and installs are blocked in that mode. If the TAO skill bank plugin did not initialize the session, run tao-setup first.

What it helps with

  • evaluate a baseline VisualChangeNet or ChangeNet model
  • trace failures in PCB inspection results
  • generate synthetic defects for model training
  • retrain toward a target evaluation metric
  • check a model against deployment conditions

Example prompts for the agent

  • Run the DEFT improvement cycle for my ChangeNet AOI model and work toward the target metric.
  • Evaluate my VisualChangeNet baseline, investigate inspection failures, and continue the AOI improvement workflow.
  • Set up the PCB inspection workflow for an air-gapped run with assets staged in advance.
