What this skill does
Jetson Video Setup Purpose Probe, install, and independently verify the native NVIDIA Video Codec SDK and PyNvVideoCodec surfaces on a live Jetson. Setup owns installation readiness, not codec-support verdicts, recipes, benchmarks, or application pipelines. Read before acting Read setup-workflow.md for surface selection and the probe → plan → apply → verify order. Read setup-install.md before any APT, venv, or pip mutation. Read setup-output-contract.md before consuming or reporting an artifact. Select the surface Before step 1 or any probe, resolve the requested surface. "Video Codec SDK", "VC SDK", "native SDK", or nvidia-video-codec-sdk selects native; "PyNvVideoCodec", "PyNv", "PySDK", or Python selects PyNvVideoCodec. Match a named product before considering the bare phrase: "Video Codec SDK" is the native product name even though it contains the words "video SDK". A genuinely bare "video SDK" setup, install, operation, readiness, or report-only request is ambiguous: ask only whether the user wants native Video Codec SDK, PyNvVideoCodec, or both, then stop before probing, acting, or describing future probes, checks, installation steps, or report contents. Report-only intent alone does not select a surface or authorize broadening to both. Select both only when explicitly requested, and reuse the selection for the rest of the request. One narrow exception applies to a consumer skill's auto selection gate: that consumer may invoke setup's read-only probe with --runtime both solely to evaluate both candidates. This does not select both for installation, verification, execution, or the final report. Keep the selected surfaces independent. A native failure must not suppress an actionable Python surface, and a Python failure must not suppress native. Report aggregate both readiness only after both verification chains pass. Compose requested sibling stages Setup's probe, plan, install, and verification workflow requires no sibling skill. …
