What it does

Maintain Packaging is an agent skill from NVIDIA/NeMo-Relay, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Add or change NeMo Relay packages, package metadata, module paths, generated artifacts, registry output, or release-facing build surfaces, including registering new unified-release surfaces with version automation. Do not use for a standalone project version bump, ordinary source builds, or tests.

Its SKILL.md is about 670 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. It works with Python and Rust. The repository describes itself as: Multi-language agent runtime and library for execution scope management, lifecycle events, and middleware on tool and LLM calls. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • A standalone project version bump
  • Ordinary source builds

Example prompts

  • “/maintain-packaging”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 16d73b4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Maintain Packaging loads about 665 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 277 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~665

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Maintain Release And Packaging Surfaces

Use this skill when a change affects how NeMo Relay is built, packaged, named, or consumed outside the source tree.

Audit Areas

  • Rust Cargo.toml package names and workspace metadata
  • Python packaging in pyproject.toml
  • Python worker plugin SDK packaging in python/plugin/pyproject.toml
  • Go module path in go/nemo_relay/go.mod
  • Node workspace metadata in root package.json and package-lock.json
  • Node package metadata in crates/node/package.json
  • FFI header and library naming
  • CI workflows, install commands, and example commands
  • justfile build, test, clean, version, and package recipes for plugin crates and packages
  • Release tags, release-note surfaces, and registry-facing version translation

Checklist

  • Every new package or plugin has an explicit versioning model: either it participates in the unified NeMo Relay release or it has an intentionally independent source of truth
  • Package names, import paths, and module names are internally consistent
  • Generated artifacts still land where downstream consumers expect
  • Docs and examples use the current install/import/build commands
  • CI references the same package names as local workflows
  • Public packaging changes are reflected in release-facing docs
  • For a new unified-release surface, its manifest version, lockfile entry, and internal NeMo Relay version pins are covered by set_project_version in the justfile; extend the owning helper and its fail-fast field checks in the same change when a value is not derived automatically, without adding a separate test that mirrors the helper's field list
  • nemo-relay-plugin Rust and Python packages track the project SemVer policy and Python wheels use valid PEP 440 translation
  • Release tags still use raw SemVer without a leading v
  • Release history and release notes still point to GitHub Releases, not CHANGELOG.md or docs pages

References

  • pyproject.toml
  • python/plugin/pyproject.toml
  • go/nemo_relay/go.mod
  • package.json
  • package-lock.json
