  Use this skill to bring any vision model from HuggingFace or NVIDIA NGC into
  an NVIDIA DeepStream pipeline with end-to-end automation: ONNX download,
  SafeTensors export, TRT engine build, custom nvinfer bbox parser, multi-stream
  benchmark, and PDF report. Object detection models only.

# DeepStream Import Vision Model

When this skill is active, **read the relevant reference document before starting each phase**. Do not rely on memory — reference documents contain exact script paths, bash variable conventions, log filename contracts, and critical parsing rules.

**Current scope:** Object detection models only. Fail fast on classification, segmentation, or other architectures detected in `config.json`.

## Pipeline Overview

| Step | Phase | Reference | What it does |
|------|-------|-----------|--------------|
| 1–3 | Model Acquire | [references/model-acquire.md](references/model-acquire.md) | Browse HF/NGC, detect format, download ONNX or export SafeTensors |
| 4–5 | Engine Build  | [references/engine-build.md](references/engine-build.md) | Build dynamic TRT engine, run trtexec BS=1 and BS=MAX_BS |
