What this skill does
Holoscan Module lifecycle Purpose Take a reusable Holoscan Module from layout and API contract through producer, consumer, and clean artifact-install proof. Use uv run holoscan in a standalone module, or holoscan in its activated pip environment. A Holoscan Module extends holoscan::core with operators, resources, and helpers for a domain capability, plus examples and tests. Core modules ship with the SDK; external modules live in their own repositories, and applications, including those in nvidia-holoscan/holoscan-applications, consume their installed packages. This skill covers external Holoscan Module development and consumption. For SDK core-module implementation, follow the selected SDK checkout’s modules/DEVELOPER.md and module-specific guide; do not apply the external CLI template or packaging workflow to SDK core modules. Inputs Required: the API contract, workspace, identities, SDK floor, license, maintainer, package formats, and acceptance checks, from the request or an authoritative repository source. Optional: a consuming application. If consequential release metadata remains unknown, stop before scaffolding or packaging rather than guessing. a reusable producer/consumer API contract rather than an ordinary app; the user-provided standalone module repository, or the parent directory for a new one; language, module/operator/package identities, minimum SDK version, license, maintainer details, and requested package formats; the consuming application, if any, such as one in a holoscan-applications checkout; finite producer, consumer, and artifact acceptance checks. First honor any request for planning only (for example, “do not run commands”); preserve that restriction when routing. Check the session’s available skill catalog for the destination skill. Route a concrete failing or wrong holoscan command to holoscan-app-debug-build-run. …
