What it does

Nemo Relay Install is an agent skill from NVIDIA/NeMo-Relay, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Use this skill when choosing or running NeMo Relay installation for the CLI, Python, Node.js, Rust, OpenClaw, or maintained framework integrations, or when explaining Hermes Agent's built-in Relay integration.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `BENCHMARK.md`, `assets/codex-desktop-recovery.md` and `evals/evals.json`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Building AI agents. It works with Rust, Python and Node.js. 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

  • Running NeMo Relay installation for the CLI
  • Maintained framework integrations
  • Explaining Hermes Agents built-in Relay integration

Example prompts

  • “/nemo-relay-install”

Requirements

  • Node.js

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • docs.nvidia.com

    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

Nemo Relay Install loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 854 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.5k

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.

Install NeMo Relay

Choose the package or executable from the user's desired outcome. Stop after installation and basic availability checks. Do not configure runtime behavior, write plugins.toml, create scopes, register middleware, or build a first app example from this skill. Keep installation separate from first-use instrumentation.

Choose The Install Path

If the user asks to install NeMo Relay but does not identify a target or desired outcome, ask one short clarifying question before giving commands:

Which install path do you want: CLI for coding-agent/local gateway use, language package for a Python/Node.js/Rust app, or framework integration for LangChain, LangGraph, Deep Agents, OpenClaw, or built-in Hermes Agent support?

Do not ask when the user already names a CLI, language, framework, harness, source checkout, or target project file such as pyproject.toml, package.json, or Cargo.toml.

Use this order from least to most application-specific:

  1. CLI for a generic "try Relay" request, a temporary coding-agent run, the local gateway, or explicit persistent host-plugin setup. Read CLI Installation.
  2. Maintained integration when the user already uses OpenClaw, Hermes, LangChain, LangGraph, or Deep Agents. Read Maintained Integration Installation.
  3. Language package when a Python, Node.js, or Rust application directly owns its tool or model call sites. Read Language Package Installation.
  4. Source checkout only for contributors or unpublished changes. Follow the repository development guide instead of published package commands.

For "try Relay" requests, default to the CLI and temporary transparent run. Do not make persistent host-plugin installation the default.

Protect Codex Desktop Continuity

Before persistent Codex installation, determine whether the user is operating from Codex Desktop. Persistent nemo-relay install codex changes the active Codex provider and can make the current or older Desktop threads appear missing after restart because of an upstream provider-filtering bug. The threads are not deleted.

For Codex Desktop users:

  1. Recommend temporary transparent run first.
  2. If the user still wants persistent installation, read the Codex Desktop section in CLI Installation.
  3. Preview the install and proposed recovery-note location.
  4. Obtain confirmation before writing either the recovery note or global Codex configuration.
  5. Render assets/codex-desktop-recovery.md as NEMO_RELAY_CODEX_DESKTOP_RECOVERY.md in the user's workspace root before running the persistent installer.
  6. Do not restart Codex Desktop until the user has the recovery-file path.

Do not directly inspect, copy, delete, edit, or rewrite Codex session files, private application configuration, or SQLite state to work around the visibility bug. Supported nemo-relay install, uninstall, and doctor commands may manage the Relay-generated provider and hook configuration.

Install And Verify

  1. Inspect the target manifest, environment, operating system, architecture, and existing installation before changing anything.
  2. Load only the reference for the selected path.
  3. Preserve the project's existing package manager and virtual environment.
  4. Use the latest compatible release unless the user or project requires an exact version.
  5. Show the exact install command before running a remote installer or changing a project manifest.
  6. Run only the selected path's basic availability check.
  7. Report what was installed, where it was installed, and the verification result. Then stop.

The primary documented language paths are Rust, Python, and Node.js. Treat Go and raw FFI as source-first advanced surfaces, not normal package installs. Do not treat a first scope, subscriber, gateway, plugin config, or LLM call as installation verification.

Use Doctor For CLI Readiness And Configuration Issues

Know about nemo-relay doctor, but use it in the right scope:

  • Run nemo-relay doctor when the user installed the CLI and reports config, gateway, agent-readiness, plugin, exporter, or model-pricing issues.
  • Use nemo-relay doctor --json when structured output will help an agent inspect checks programmatically.
  • Use nemo-relay doctor --plugin claude-code, nemo-relay doctor --plugin codex, or nemo-relay doctor --plugin all only for persistent host-plugin installations.
  • Do not require plugin doctor for transparent runs. Transparent-run setup does not require persistent host-plugin state.
  • Do not use doctor as proof that a Python, Node.js, or Rust package dependency was installed. Verify those with the language package manager/import checks.

When doctor reports failures, summarize the failed checks and the specific remediation it suggests. Do not loop back to reinstalling every package unless the failed check points to a broken or missing install.

Hand Off After Install

Choose the next workflow from the user's immediate outcome:

  • Use nemo-relay-get-started for a first working scope, tool call, LLM call, or trial plugin setup.
  • Use the NeMo Relay CLI documentation or host-specific setup for a local CLI host-plugin workflow, not application runtime setup.
  • Use the matching plugin or instrumentation skill for runtime configuration, plugin files, observability, or adaptive behavior.

Common Mistakes

Avoid these installation-scope mistakes:

  • Using repository development setup when the user only needs a published package.
  • Installing the CLI when the user needs an application binding, or installing a binding when the user only needs the local nemo-relay executable.
  • Treating persistent host-plugin installation as the default way to try Relay, instead of starting with temporary transparent run.
  • Pinning old versions unless the user or project explicitly requires that version.
  • Continuing into plugins.toml, middleware registration, scopes, or quick-start examples before the install step has been verified.
