Description: <br>

Plan and apply safe Jetson headless-mode changes to reclaim GUI and daemon memory. <br>

This skill is ready for commercial/non-commercial use. <br>

Owner

NVIDIA <br>

License/Terms of Use: <br>

CC-BY-4.0 AND Apache 2.0 <br>

Use Case: <br>

Developers and engineers converting NVIDIA Jetson devices into headless inference appliances or edge nodes by safely disabling the desktop environment and non-essential daemons to reclaim memory. <br>

Deployment Geography for Use: <br>

Global <br>

Known Risks and Mitigations: <br>

Risk: Review before execution as proposals could introduce incorrect or misleading guidance into skills. <br> Mitigation: Review and scan skill before deployment. <br>

Reference(s): <br>

Skill Output: <br>

Output Type(s): [Shell commands, Configuration instructions] <br> Output Format: [JSON plan with inline bash commands] <br> Output Parameters: [1D] <br> Other Properties Related to Output: [Dry-run by default; --apply flag required for mutation] <br>

Evaluation Agents Used: <br>

  • Claude Code (claude-code) <br>
  • Codex (codex) <br>

Evaluation Tasks: <br>

Evaluated against 8 evaluation tasks in the astra-sandbox environment using the NVSkills-Eval external profile. <br>

Evaluation Metrics Used: <br>

Reported benchmark dimensions: <br>

  • Security: Checks whether skill-assisted execution avoids unsafe behavior such as secret leakage, destructive commands, or unauthorized access. <br>
  • Correctness: Checks whether the agent follows the expected workflow and produces the correct final output. <br>
  • Discoverability: Checks whether the agent loads the skill when relevant and avoids using it when irrelevant. <br>
  • Effectiveness: Checks whether the agent performs measurably better with the skill than without it. <br>
  • Efficiency: Checks whether the agent uses fewer tokens and avoids redundant work. <br>

Underlying evaluation signals used in this run: <br>

  • security: Checks for unsafe operations, secret leakage, and unauthorized access. <br>
  • skill_execution: Verifies that the agent loaded the expected skill and workflow. <br>
  • skill_efficiency: Checks routing quality, decoy avoidance, and redundant tool usage. <br>
  • accuracy: Grades final-answer correctness against the reference answer. <br>
  • goal_accuracy: Checks whether the overall user task completed successfully. <br>
  • behavior_check: Verifies expected behavior steps, including safety expectations. <br>
  • token_efficiency: Compares token usage with and without the skill. <br>

    The skill is a specialized system optimization tool for NVIDIA Jetson devices designed to reclaim user-space memory by disabling the desktop environment and non-essential background daemons. It is built with comprehensive safety features, including a plan-then-apply workflow, a dry-run default mode, and strict validation of privileged commands.
