AutoGineer summary
Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author
The kermt-embed skill provides a structured, containerized workflow for generating per-molecule embeddings from KERMT model checkpoints. It manages the entire pipeline, including system validation, data preparation, checkpoint verification, and execution. The skill supports both custom checkpoints and the automatic, consent-based download of pretrained NVIDIA KERMT models. It outputs standardized .npy embedding files for four distinct readouts, along with canonical SMILES and validity metadata, ensuring consistent results for downstream chemical analysis.
What it does
- Validates system requirements and container environment for embedding extraction.
- Automates the download and verification of pretrained KERMT model bundles.
- Cleans and prepares input SMILES data from CSV files for model processing.
- Executes embedding extraction on a single GPU using specified or default checkpoints.
- Generates standardized .npy embedding arrays and metadata for molecular analysis.
- Provides replayable run manifests for reproducibility.
When to use it
- When you need to generate numerical vector representations for a set of molecules.
- When you want to use a pretrained KERMT model to featurize chemical data.
- When you have a custom encoder-bearing KERMT checkpoint and need to extract embeddings from it.
- When you require a reproducible, containerized pipeline for molecular embedding tasks.
Advantages
- Ensures consistent environment configuration via containerization.
- Automates complex multi-step validation of checkpoints and input data.
- Provides clear, standardized output formats for downstream integration.
- Includes built-in safety checks for model downloads and hardware compatibility.
Usage examples
- “Extract embeddings for the molecules in my_molecules.csv using the default pretrained model.”
- The agent will prompt for consent to download the NV-KERMT-70M-v2 model, validate the CSV, and generate embedding files in a new run directory.
- “Run embedding extraction on molecules.csv using my local checkpoint at /path/to/model.pt.”
- The agent validates the local checkpoint and input CSV, then executes the extraction workflow using the provided model file.
Install
Download the skill as a ZIP:

mkdir -p .agents/skills && unzip kermt-embed.zip -d .agents/skills
Documentation by NVIDIA
kermt-embed
Extract per-molecule embeddings from any encoder-bearing KERMT checkpoint.
The skill is the workflow orchestrator: validate ckpt, validate CSV, clean
SMILES, launch the runner blocking, return the per-readout .npy files.
Skill and runtime paths
Set SKILL_DIR to the absolute path of this installed skill directory. Export
KERMT_REPO as the absolute path to the KERMT checkout used for model
execution. The bundled container helper mounts that checkout at
/workspace and this skill at /skill (read-only). Commands inside
the container use /skill/scripts/; defaults are bundled in config/.
See Released models for checkpoint bundle requirements.
Downloads and local outputs
The optional released-model branch reads config/released_model.json for the
Hugging Face repository, pinned revision, and filenames. The bundled
scripts/fetch_released_model.py downloads the model bundle over HTTPS into
the host directory the user selects. Public models work without credentials;
if HF_TOKEN is set, the container helper forwards it for Hugging Face
authentication. Prepared data, logs, and workflow results go into the chosen
run directory.
Hardware requirements
GPUs: 1 (single-GPU).
VRAM: ≥ 4 GB for the default
batch_size 64.Disk: depends on output size — roughly a few MB per 1k molecules at
hidden 800per readout, so ~10–20 MB per 1k molecules across the 4 readouts. Plus a smallcanonical_smiles.npy+validity.npyper run.Driver / CUDA: any host supporting CUDA 12.6.
Inputs
Required:
--csv <path>— SMILES CSV. First column issmiles; other columns are ignored (no targets needed).
Checkpoint (optional — defaults to the released model if omitted):
--ckpt <path>— any encoder-bearing checkpoint. Grover_base, cmim, hybrid, and finetuned ckpts are all accepted. The validator only refuses ckpts with no encoder. If omitted, the skill offers to download the released pretrained hybrid model nvidia/NV-KERMT-70M-v2 and embed with it — see "Resolve & validate the checkpoint" (workflow step 3).--pretrained-release— explicit opt-in to use the released model without the interactive prompt (for non-interactive / agent runs). Mutually exclusive with--ckpt.--model-dir <dir>— where to save the downloaded bundle (default$KERMT_REPO/models/NV-KERMT-70M-v2/). An already-complete bundle there is reused, not re-downloaded.
Optional:
--batch-size N— override the configured default (64).--gpus 0— single GPU id (default 0).--from-prepare <dir>— skip the prepare step and reuse an existingprepare_data.jsonin<dir>.
Workflow
Let $KERMT_REPO be the path to your kermt repo checkout.
Pre-flight: container + system probe.
"$SKILL_DIR/scripts/kermt_container.sh" check_systemCompute run directory.
RUN_DIR=$KERMT_REPO/runs/embed_$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H-%M-%SZ)Resolve & validate the checkpoint.
Resolve — only if
--ckptwas omitted. Default to the released pretrained hybrid model nvidia/NV-KERMT-70M-v2:Consent gate. Unless
--pretrained-releasewas passed, ask the user: "No checkpoint given — download the released model nvidia/NV-KERMT-70M-v2 (NVIDIA Open Model License, https://huggingface.co/nvidia/NV-KERMT-70M-v2) and embed with it? [y/N]". Never download without an explicit yes (or--pretrained-release). If both--ckptand--pretrained-releaseare given, abort — they conflict.Save location. Default
$KERMT_REPO/models/NV-KERMT-70M-v2/; honor--model-dir <dir>if given. An already-complete bundle is reused.Download (foreground; ~282 MB on first fetch):

Hard rules
Never download the released model without consent. When
--ckptis omitted, downloadnvidia/NV-KERMT-70M-v2only after an explicit user "yes" or an explicit--pretrained-releaseflag.--ckptand--pretrained-releaseare mutually exclusive.Never modify the user's ckpt. The runner reads-only via
task/extract_embeddings.py's--checkpoint <path>flag.Arch comes from the ckpt. No
--hidden-sizeflag etc. on this runner;task/extract_embeddings.pyreads arch from the ckpt's saved_args.
Common errors
prepare_data manifest is missing required output 'clean_csv'→ prepare ran with--skip-cleanbut no source CSV given. Re-run prepare without it.--gpus '0,1' is single-GPU only→ pass a single id.
Replayability
$(jq -r .cmd_replay $RUN_DIR/run.json)If ok_to_replay: false (dirty kermt repo worktree at launch time), pin
the commit via repo.commit and git checkout it first.

"""Validate a KERMT checkpoint for a given agent workflow.
Mode-dispatched. Emits a single JSON object to stdout that the calling skill
parses to decide whether to proceed (`ok: true`) or surface a structured error
back to the user (`ok: false` with `errors[]`). The JSON shape is stable
across modes; only the contract for what counts as `ok` differs per mode.
Modes
-----
continue_pretrain Continuing pretraining from an existing pretrain ckpt.
Requires encoder + at least one pretrain head
(vocab_head for grover_base / cmim, or contrast_head for
cmim / hybrid). Rejects encoder-only or finetuned ckpts.
upgrade_to_hybrid Adding a cMIM decoder onto a grover_base ckpt to convert
it to a hybrid pretrain. Requires encoder; rejects ckpts
that already carry a contrast_head or task_ffn (would be
workflow 4 instead).
finetune_init Starting a finetune from a pretrained ckpt. Requires
encoder. Pretrain heads (vocab / contrast) are tolerated
but unused. Already-finetuned ckpts (task FFN heads
present) are REJECTED — finetune-on-finetune via the
agent skill isn't supported because saved-task
identity can't be machine-verified against the new
training data.
inference Running predictions with a previously-finetuned ckpt.
Requires encoder + task_ffn. Reports task_output_dims
so the runner can compare against the user's task spec.
embed Extracting embeddings. Requires encoder only. Anything
additional in the ckpt is ignored.
Output (stdout)

Exit code: 0 on `ok: true`, 1 on `ok: false`. Loader exceptions are caught and
surfaced into `errors[]` with `ok: false` (still exit 1), never raised.
