In this tutorial, we use NVIDIA SkillSpector to evaluate AI skills for security risks before deployment. We build a corpus of benign and deliberately vulnerable skills, then scan them through SkillSpector's programmatic LangGraph workflow. We organize the risk scores and findings with pandas, then visualize severity and category distributions. We export results in SARIF format, register a custom analyzer, and optionally apply an LLM-based semantic pass.

In this tutorial, we work with NVIDIA's Nemotron-Pretraining-Code-v3 dataset as a large-scale metadata index for code pretraining research. We stream the dataset instead of downloading it, inspect its schema, and build a manageable sample. We analyze languages, file extensions, repository frequency, and directory depth to understand the index structure. We then reconstruct raw GitHub URLs, fetch real source files, and estimate the token scale of the fetched code.
