Developing NVIDIA Holoscan Applications with CLI, Skills, and AI Coding Agents | NVIDIA Technical Blog

This post details the use of AI coding agents (specifically Codex with GPT-5.6) to develop a real-time endoscopic tool segmentation application using NVIDIA Holoscan and HoloHub. It describes an iterative development workflow where an engineer defines goals and constraints, and the AI agent uses the Holoscan CLI, HoloHub documentation, and development skills to implement, test, and benchmark the application. Key contributions include demonstrating an agent-guided workflow for creating a minimal working application, adding repeatable benchmarking modes (visual, smoke, benchmark) with data flow tracking, and showing how the combination of CLI, skills, and documentation leads to efficient development.
