Workflow 1: Object Detection Pipeline
Use this workflow when building an object detection system from scratch.
Step 1: Define Detection Requirements
Analyze the detection task requirements:
Detection Requirements Analysis:
- Target objects: [list specific classes to detect]
- Real-time requirement: [yes/no, target FPS]
- Accuracy priority: [speed vs accuracy trade-off]
- Deployment target: [cloud GPU, edge device, mobile]
- Dataset size: [number of images, annotations per class]
Step 2: Select Detection Architecture
Choose architecture based on requirements:
| Requirement | Recommended Architecture | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Real-time (>30 FPS) | YOLOv8/v11, RT-DETR | Single-stage, optimized for speed |
| High accuracy | Faster R-CNN, DINO | Two-stage, better localization |
| Small objects | YOLO + SAHI, Faster R-CNN + FPN | Multi-scale detection |
| Edge deployment | YOLOv8n, MobileNetV3-SSD | Lightweight architectures |
| Transformer-based | DETR, DINO, RT-DETR | End-to-end, no NMS required |
Step 3: Prepare Dataset
Convert annotations to required format:
# COCO format (recommended)
python scripts/dataset_pipeline_builder.py data/images/ \
--annotations data/labels/ \
--format coco \
--split 0.8 0.1 0.1 \
--output data/coco/
# Verify dataset
python -c "from pycocotools.coco import COCO; coco = COCO('data/coco/train.json'); print(f'Images: {len(coco.imgs)}, Categories: {len(coco.cats)}')"
Step 4: Configure Training
Generate training configuration:
# For Ultralytics YOLO
python scripts/vision_model_trainer.py data/coco/ \
--task detection \
--arch yolov8m \
--epochs 100 \
--batch 16 \
--imgsz 640 \
--output configs/
# For Detectron2
python scripts/vision_model_trainer.py data/coco/ \
--task detection \
--arch faster_rcnn_R_50_FPN \
--framework detectron2 \
--output configs/
Step 5: Train and Validate
# Ultralytics training
yolo detect train data=data.yaml model=yolov8m.pt epochs=100 imgsz=640
# Detectron2 training
python train_net.py --config-file configs/faster_rcnn.yaml --num-gpus 1
# Validate on test set
yolo detect val model=runs/detect/train/weights/best.pt data=data.yaml
Step 6: Evaluate Results
Key metrics to analyze:
| Metric | Target | Description |
|---|---|---|
| mAP@50 | >0.7 | Mean Average Precision at IoU 0.5 |
| mAP@50:95 | >0.5 | COCO primary metric |
| Precision | >0.8 | Low false positives |
| Recall | >0.8 | Low missed detections |
| Inference time | <33ms | For 30 FPS real-time |
Workflow 2: Model Optimization and Deployment
Use this workflow when preparing a trained model for production deployment.
Step 1: Benchmark Baseline Performance
# Measure current model performance
python scripts/inference_optimizer.py model.pt \
--benchmark \
--input-size 640 640 \
--batch-sizes 1 4 8 16 \
--warmup 10 \
--iterations 100
Expected output:
Baseline Performance (PyTorch FP32):
- Batch 1: 45.2ms (22.1 FPS)
- Batch 4: 89.4ms (44.7 FPS)
- Batch 8: 165.3ms (48.4 FPS)
- Memory: 2.1 GB
- Parameters: 25.9M
Step 2: Select Optimization Strategy
| Deployment Target | Optimization Path |
|---|---|
| NVIDIA GPU (cloud) | PyTorch → ONNX → TensorRT FP16 |
| NVIDIA GPU (edge) | PyTorch → TensorRT INT8 |
| Intel CPU | PyTorch → ONNX → OpenVINO |
| Apple Silicon | PyTorch → CoreML |
| Generic CPU | PyTorch → ONNX Runtime |
| Mobile | PyTorch → TFLite or ONNX Mobile |
Step 3: Export to ONNX
# Export with dynamic batch size
python scripts/inference_optimizer.py model.pt \
--export onnx \
--input-size 640 640 \
--dynamic-batch \
--simplify \
--output model.onnx
# Verify ONNX model
python -c "import onnx; model = onnx.load('model.onnx'); onnx.checker.check_model(model); print('ONNX model valid')"
Step 4: Apply Quantization (Optional)
For INT8 quantization with calibration:
# Generate calibration dataset
python scripts/inference_optimizer.py model.onnx \
--quantize int8 \
--calibration-data data/calibration/ \
--calibration-samples 500 \
--output model_int8.onnx
Quantization impact analysis:
| Precision | Size | Speed | Accuracy Drop |
|---|---|---|---|
| FP32 | 100% | 1x | 0% |
| FP16 | 50% | 1.5-2x | <0.5% |
| INT8 | 25% | 2-4x | 1-3% |
Step 5: Convert to Target Runtime
# TensorRT (NVIDIA GPU)
trtexec --onnx=model.onnx --saveEngine=model.engine --fp16
# OpenVINO (Intel)
mo --input_model model.onnx --output_dir openvino/
# CoreML (Apple)
python -c "import coremltools as ct; model = ct.convert('model.onnx'); model.save('model.mlpackage')"
Step 6: Benchmark Optimized Model
python scripts/inference_optimizer.py model.engine \
--benchmark \
--runtime tensorrt \
--compare model.pt
Expected speedup:
Optimization Results:
- Original (PyTorch FP32): 45.2ms
- Optimized (TensorRT FP16): 12.8ms
- Speedup: 3.5x
- Accuracy change: -0.3% mAP
Workflow 3: Custom Dataset Preparation
Use this workflow when preparing a computer vision dataset for training.
Step 1: Audit Raw Data
# Analyze image dataset
python scripts/dataset_pipeline_builder.py data/raw/ \
--analyze \
--output analysis/
Analysis report includes:
Dataset Analysis:
- Total images: 5,234
- Image sizes: 640x480 to 4096x3072 (variable)
- Formats: JPEG (4,891), PNG (343)
- Corrupted: 12 files
- Duplicates: 45 pairs
Annotation Analysis:
- Format detected: Pascal VOC XML

- Classes: 5 (car, person, bicycle, dog, cat)
- Distribution: car (12,340), person (8,234), bicycle (3,456), dog (2,890), cat (1,536)
- Empty images: 234
Step 2: Clean and Validate
# Remove corrupted and duplicate images
python scripts/dataset_pipeline_builder.py data/raw/ \
--clean \
--remove-corrupted \
--remove-duplicates \
--output data/cleaned/
Step 3: Convert Annotation Format
# Convert VOC to COCO format
python scripts/dataset_pipeline_builder.py data/cleaned/ \
--annotations data/annotations/ \
--input-format voc \
--output-format coco \
--output data/coco/
Supported format conversions:
| From | To |
|---|---|
| Pascal VOC XML | COCO JSON |
| YOLO TXT | COCO JSON |
| COCO JSON | YOLO TXT |
| LabelMe JSON | COCO JSON |
| CVAT XML | COCO JSON |
Step 4: Apply Augmentations
# Generate augmentation config
python scripts/dataset_pipeline_builder.py data/coco/ \
--augment \
--aug-config configs/augmentation.yaml \
--output data/augmented/
Recommended augmentations for detection:
# configs/augmentation.yaml
augmentations:
geometric:
- horizontal_flip: { p: 0.5 }
- vertical_flip: { p: 0.1 } # Only if orientation invariant
- rotate: { limit: 15, p: 0.3 }
- scale: { scale_limit: 0.2, p: 0.5 }
color:
- brightness_contrast: { brightness_limit: 0.2, contrast_limit: 0.2, p: 0.5 }
- hue_saturation: { hue_shift_limit: 20, sat_shift_limit: 30, p: 0.3 }
- blur: { blur_limit: 3, p: 0.1 }
advanced:
- mosaic: { p: 0.5 } # YOLO-style mosaic
- mixup: { p: 0.1 } # Image mixing
- cutout: { num_holes: 8, max_h_size: 32, max_w_size: 32, p: 0.3 }
Step 5: Create Train/Val/Test Splits
python scripts/dataset_pipeline_builder.py data/augmented/ \
--split 0.8 0.1 0.1 \
--stratify \
--seed 42 \
--output data/final/
Split strategy guidelines:
| Dataset Size | Train | Val | Test |
|---|---|---|---|
| <1,000 images | 70% | 15% | 15% |
| 1,000-10,000 | 80% | 10% | 10% |
| >10,000 | 90% | 5% | 5% |
Step 6: Generate Dataset Configuration
# For Ultralytics YOLO
python scripts/dataset_pipeline_builder.py data/final/ \
--generate-config yolo \
--output data.yaml
# For Detectron2
python scripts/dataset_pipeline_builder.py data/final/ \
--generate-config detectron2 \
--output detectron2_config.py

codex-pet
prime-skills/runcomfy-agent-skills
Codex Pet generator on RunComfy. Build a Codex-compatible Codex Pet spritesheet.webp + pet.json from a single reference image, drop it into ${CODEXHOME:-$HOME/.codex}/pets/ / and Codex picks it up as a custom Codex Pet next to the 8 built-ins. This skill produces the exact Codex Pet atlas Codex expects (1536x1872 PNG/WebP, 8 cols x 9 rows, 192x208 cells, 9 animation states — idle, running-right, running-left, waving, jumping, failed, waiting, running, review). Calls OpenAI GPT Image 2 edit ONCE via the local RunComfy CLI as runcomfy run openai/gpt-image-2/edit to produce a canonical Codex Pet pose, then assembles all 9 animation rows programmatically with ImageMagick micro-transforms — no Codex Pro, no $imagegen, no OPENAIAPIKEY required, only RUNCOMFYTOKEN. Triggers on "codex pet", "create codex pet", "make codex pet", "hatch codex pet", "/hatch image", "desktop pet codex", "codex pets", "spritesheet.webp", or any explicit ask to build a custom pet for OpenAI Codex.
