Use for Isaac Lab environments, manager terms, controllers, RL training, teleoperation, demonstrations, Mimic, imitation learning, resets, backend migration, and scaling on Antioch. Covers XYZW quaternions, ProxyArray, indexed writes, and PhysX/Newton selection; use Isaac Sim for plain scenes and scenario-design for recorded verdicts.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈0

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Use Lab's SimulationContext or environment loop, not antioch.world().

    line 22
  2. Very specific:

    Check each field's type before accessing array methods.

    line 38

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Isaac Lab on Antioch

The pin is Isaac Lab 3.0.0-beta2 on Isaac Sim 6.0.1. Load Antioch platform for project/session setup and research for the selected runtime's signatures and source; beta APIs can change.

Startup and stepping

The scenario runner starts Lab through AppLauncher. A plain script or notebook calls antioch.start_simulation() before simulator imports. Keep isaaclab*, isaacsim, omni, pxr, and carb imports inside functions or TYPE_CHECKING; define config classes in a post-startup factory so discovery works without a simulator.

Use Lab's SimulationContext or environment loop, not antioch.world(). Configure SimulationCfg.dt, render interval, and environment decimation; classic SimulationConfig.physics_dt/render_dt does not set Lab timing. Keep one stepping owner.

Lab contracts

SurfaceContract
QuaternionsXYZW; identity is (0, 0, 0, 1).
Array stateProxyArray; access tensor methods through .torch or .warp.
Selected writeswrite_*_to_sim_index or write_*_to_sim_mask; validate shape/device.
CamerasCamera/CameraCfg; tiled names are deprecated aliases.
PhysicsSimulationCfg.physics contains backend-specific configuration.
LauncherHeadless by default; visualizer options belong to the native launcher.

Check each field's type before accessing array methods. Clone historical samples and refresh views after a reset that replaces storage. In a manual scene loop, write controls, step, then scene.update(sim.get_physics_dt()); a managed environment owns those updates.

Backends and training

Lab supports isaaclab_physx and isaaclab_newton. Select matching launch and environment configuration before constructing the scene; PhysX configuration comes from isaaclab_physx.physics.PhysxCfg. Newton-native features do not imply support through every Lab asset, sensor, or solver, and the managed Antioch path runs Kit; kit-less upstream examples are a different launch path. Select images and dependencies through the platform's environment guide.

Load environment authoring for state/reset contracts, a rollout probe, RL adapters, and demonstration workflows. Before scaling, verify observations, actions, frames, limits, termination conditions, and complete resets. Random actions test startup, not policy quality; finite loss or a checkpoint does not prove useful behavior.

Save seeds, configuration, asset/image pins, metrics, and checkpoints. GPU seeding does not guarantee identical runs. Use scenario design for recorded evaluations and agentic simulation for iterative experiments.

These guides adapt native workflow ownership to Antioch sessions. They do not replace Lab's native scene, manager, training, or reset APIs. Use the pinned upstream implementation through research when selecting an unfamiliar term or backend feature.
