tao-launch-workflow

The mandatory pre-launch gate and four-verb execution contract for every TAO workflow or action. Invoke BEFORE launching anything side-effecting — AutoML, train, evaluate, inference, export, TensorRT engine generation, or DEFT/application workflows — on any execution platform. Covers platform selection, credentials, image confirmation, dataset intake, preflight, the launch review, job records, monitoring, and failure/retry classification. Trigger phrases include "train this model", "run AutoML", "launch on SLURM/docker/k8s/brev/virtualenv", "evaluate my checkpoint", "start a TAO job".

# TAO Workflow Launch Intake

> **Standalone install?** If this session was not initialized by the TAO skill bank plugin, run the `tao-setup` skill first (host preflight, credentials, cross-skill discovery).

Use this skill before launching any TAO workflow or model action.

For direct invocation, run the complete-checkout check in
`references/platform-preflight.md` before Step 0 or any helper. Individual
skill installs lack shared scripts; stop if the check fails. Use its verified
`TAO_SKILL_BANK_PATH` for every helper.
