What it does

Nemoclaw Maintainer Day is an agent skill from NVIDIA/NemoClaw, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Run a NemoClaw daytime maintainer pass over release-targeted work. Use for the maintainer queue or a requested recurring pass.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 21 other files, including scripts (for example `HOTSPOTS.md`, `MERGE-GATE.md` and `PR-REVIEW-PRIORITIES.md`).

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: Run agents like Hermes, LangChain Deep Agents, and OpenClaw more securely inside NVIDIA OpenShell with managed inference. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The maintainer queue
  • A requested recurring pass

Example prompts

  • “/nemoclaw-maintainer-day”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Check Version Progress
  2. Pick One Action
  3. Execute
  4. Report Progress

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4e3bf44. 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

    Ships 8 files in scripts/ (TypeScript and Shell, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    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

Nemoclaw Maintainer Day loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 466 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

NemoClaw Maintainer Day

Execute one pass of the maintainer loop, prioritizing version-targeted work.

Autonomy: You may push small fixes after required CI and scheduled automated reviews settle for one unchanged latest PR commit. You may approve a PR when all gates pass. Report contributor and approver overlap as an advisory. It does not change merge readiness or require another reviewer. Never merge. Ask the user about merge, product-scope, and architecture decisions. Also ask when contributor intent is unclear.

Treat the recorded latest PR commit as an optimistic publication guard. Immediately before a push, confirm that the remote branch still points to that commit. Stop when another workflow publishes first.

References

Step 1: Check Version Progress

bash
node --no-warnings .agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-day/scripts/version-target.ts
node --no-warnings .agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-day/scripts/version-progress.ts <version>

The first script selects the target version. The second lists shipped and open items.

Step 2: Pick One Action

Before reviewing, repairing, approving, integrating, or pushing a PR, complete PR follow-up successfully for one unchanged latest PR commit. This prerequisite does not apply to an item with no PR candidate.

Select the first applicable action for an open item:

  1. PR ready for approval — CI passes, no conflicts remain, and tests cover the change. Confirm that there is no unresolved correctness or security issue. Follow MERGE-GATE.md.
  2. PR that needs a small fix — Follow SALVAGE-PR.md.
  3. Security item — The item touches a risky area. Follow SECURITY-SWEEP.md.
  4. Test gap — Risky code does not have sufficient tests. Follow TEST-GAPS.md.
  5. Repeated conflicts — Follow HOTSPOTS.md.
  6. Work that needs sequencing — The work is too large for one pass. Follow SEQUENCE-WORK.md.

If all items for the release version are blocked, select an item from the backlog.

Prefer to complete a contribution that needs little work before you start a refactor.

Step 3: Execute

Follow the selected workflow. Complete one outcome in each pass:

  • Approve a PR.
  • Push a fix.
  • Add a missing test.
  • Reduce a source of merge conflicts.
  • Report a blocker.

Step 4: Report Progress

Re-run the progress script and show the update:

bash
node --no-warnings .agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-day/scripts/version-progress.ts <version>

If all items for the release version are done, suggest /nemoclaw-maintainer-evening.

Update .nemoclaw-maintainer/state.json via the state script:

bash
node --no-warnings .agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-day/scripts/state.ts history <action> <item> "<note>"

Commit Hygiene

Commit skill files only when the task changes agent guidance. Do not include unrelated skill changes in code or documentation PRs.

Stop and Ask When

  • A PR creates a supported product surface without an accepted product decision.
  • The work requires a refactor or architecture decision.
  • Contributor intent is unclear and the change can alter behavior.
  • CI requires changes to multiple subsystems.
  • A security boundary has an unclear risk.
  • The next step is to open a PR or merge.

/loop Integration

Use this skill with /loop 10m /nemoclaw-maintainer-day. Keep each pass report short. State what you did, what changed, and what needs a user decision. Read state.json to avoid repeated context.
