Skill: TAO Run DEFT CR ITS Mining

Prerequisites

Before preflight, follow references/host-prerequisites.md; use its selected DEFT_PYTHON for every bundled helper and stop if the dependency probe fails.

Bundled Resources

Resolve DEFT_SKILL_ROOT to the absolute directory containing this installed SKILL.md. The agent or plugin runtime resolves this path; it is not a user input. Invoke bundled helpers with "$DEFT_PYTHON" "$DEFT_SKILL_ROOT/scripts/<name>.py" .... Never require a skill-bank checkout or change the user's working directory to a repository root.

This workflow invokes tao-finetune-cosmos-embed, tao-analyze-gaps-vlm-bcq, tao-mine-nearest-neighbors, and the selected platform skill by registered skill name. Those skills own their credentials, actions, and bundled assets. Cosmos Reason is workflow-owned: resolve images.tao_toolkit.deft_cosmos_reason, generate TOMLs with this workflow's helpers and configured base templates, and submit the exact train/evaluate commands in references/mining-loop.md through the selected platform. Do not invoke tao-finetune-cosmos-reason for planning, templates, action bundles, commands, or hook resolution.

User Inputs (DEFT Workspace and Workflow Configuration Yaml)

The user should provide a DEFT workspace absolute path that will be used for the entire run. This path should not be /workspace because that conflicts with the Cosmos Reason skills.

The layout of the DEFT workspace should be as follows:
