DeepStream Profiling Skill

Profile-driven pipeline creation. When the user indicates they want an efficient DeepStream pipeline, this skill replaces guesswork with two measured numbers — inference plateau batch and HW ceiling — and derives every other config from them. Then it profiles the E2E pipeline with Nsight Systems and reports per-plugin NVTX timings.

Model- and pipeline-agnostic. The skill assumes only that the inference element is nvinfer or nvinferserver (so model dims, precision, and batch knobs are settable through the standard config). It works for detection (with or without tracker), classification, segmentation, VLM, and embedding pipelines. Source can be file, RTSP, USB camera, or any mix. The skill reads the user's actual config to discover model dims / target FPS / source properties — it does NOT assume any particular model, codec, or resolution.

Constraint. Terminal only. Use nsys profile to capture and nsys stats to extract. Do not depend on Nsight Lens or any GUI.
