| name | cosmos3-codebase-nav |
| description | Navigate the Cosmos3 package codebase to find where parameters, configs, defaults, scripts, and documentation live. Use when the user asks "where is X in cosmos3", "how do I find the config for Y", "where are the defaults", "where do I change a parameter", or any question about locating files, modules, or settings. Also use when the user opens or edits files and needs orientation.

Cosmos3 Codebase Navigation
When to use this skill
- Use this skill when an agent is navigating the Cosmos3 package
- Use this skill to answer "where is X", "how do I find the config for Y", or any file-location question
- Use this skill when the user opens or edits cosmos3 files and needs orientation
Path convention
All paths below are relative to this file's location (.claude/skills/cosmos3-codebase-nav/). The repo is laid out as:
cosmos_framework/ — main training package (data, model, trainer, callbacks, checkpoint, utils, …).cosmos_framework/configs/base/experiment/ — vfm (generator) experiment SKUs referenced by [train.train_policy].experiment in the recipe TOMLs.cosmos_framework/configs/base/reasoner/experiment/ — vlm (reasoner) experiment SKUs.cosmos_framework/inference/ — inference subpackage (args, model, inference engine, defaults, Ray serving, common helpers).cosmos_framework/scripts/ — top-level entry-point scripts (train, inference, eval, export_model, convert_model_to_dcp, upsample_prompts, caption_from_video, captions_to_sft_jsonl, action_policy_server, …). Invoked as python -m cosmos_framework.scripts.<name>.examples/toml/sft_config/<recipe>.toml + examples/launch_sft_<recipe>.sh — paired SFT recipes (training entry-point input). The shell sources examples/_sft_launcher_common.sh, which forwards into cosmos_framework.scripts.train --sft-toml=....cosmos_framework/configs/toml_config/ — pydantic schemas (sft_config.py) and helpers that validate the recipe TOML at load time.
Quick Reference

SFT recipe TOMLs (paired with examples/launch_sft_*.sh) | ../../../examples/toml/sft_config/<recipe>.toml |
| SFT pydantic schema (validates the recipe TOML) | ../../../cosmos_framework/configs/toml_config/sft_config.py |

Available modality modes for defaults: text2image, text2video, image2video, image2image, video2video, forward_dynamics, inverse_dynamics, wam.
Config defaults resolution chain
When a user runs inference, default parameter values are resolved in this order:
cosmos_framework/inference/defaults/<mode>/sample_args.json # 1. Per-modality JSON defaults (num_steps, guidance, shift, fps, etc.)
↓
_load_modality_defaults() in cosmos_framework/inference/args.py # 2. Loaded and cached at import time
↓
SamplingArgs / SamplingOverrides # 3. Pydantic models with field-level validation
↓
OmniSampleOverrides.build_sample() # 4. Merges user overrides → final resolved args
↓
_RESOLUTION_SHIFT_DEFAULTS[model_size, resolution] # 5. Model+resolution shift override (if user didn't set shift)
↓
CLI flags (--guidance, --shift, etc.) # 6. User overrides from command line
The _RESOLUTION_SHIFT_DEFAULTS table in ../../../cosmos_framework/inference/args.py (on OmniSampleOverrides) overrides the default shift based on model size and resolution, unless the user explicitly specified --shift.
| Mode | Default file | Key defaults |
|---|
text2image | ../../../cosmos_framework/inference/defaults/text2image/sample_args.json | num_frames=1, guidance=6.0, shift=10.0 |
text2video | ../../../cosmos_framework/inference/defaults/text2video/sample_args.json | num_frames=189, guidance=6.0, shift=10.0 |
image2video | ../../../cosmos_framework/inference/defaults/image2video/sample_args.json | num_frames=189, guidance=6.0, shift=10.0 |
Action and video2video modes also have defaults under cosmos_framework/inference/defaults/{image2image,video2video,forward_dynamics,inverse_dynamics,policy}/sample_args.json.
Users can also supply a custom defaults file per-request via the defaults_file field in sample arguments (see ../../../docs/inference.md).
Where to make changes
| Task | Edit |
|---|
| Change a built-in default value | ../../../cosmos_framework/inference/defaults/<mode>/sample_args.json |
| Add a new CLI parameter | SamplingArgs + SamplingOverrides in ../../../cosmos_framework/inference/args.py, then add to each sample_args.json |
| Change parallelism presets | ../../../cosmos_framework/inference/ray/configs/latency.yaml or throughput.yaml |
| Add a new script | ../../../cosmos_framework/scripts/ — follow inference.py as the pattern |
