How the author describes it
Build DeepStream GStreamer pipelines interactively. Use when the user asks about pipelines for video/image inference, detection, tracking, or streaming — including natural phrases like 'pipeline to infer on image', 'run inference on video', 'detect objects in stream', 'save inference output', 'deepstream pipeline', 'gst-launch pipeline', 'process video with detection', 'build a pipeline', or any request involving GStreamer/DeepStream elements (nvinfer, nvstreammux, nvtracker, etc.).
From the description field of SKILL.md. Agents read this line to decide when to load the skill.
