What it does

Nemoclaw User Guide is an agent skill from NVIDIA/NemoClaw, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Find official NemoClaw documentation for installation, configuration, operation, or troubleshooting. Also handles requested docs MCP setup.

Its SKILL.md is about 870 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json` and `references/docs-access.md`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Technical writing. It works with Model Context Protocol. 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

  • Tasks that involve Technical writing

Example prompts

  • “/nemoclaw-user-guide”

Workflow steps

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

  1. If the NemoClaw docs MCP server is already configured, use its read-only searchDocs tool to find task-relevant docs.
  2. Otherwise, use the Markdown index and pages below. Docs lookup does not require installing or configuring MCP.
  3. If MCP is not available, fetch the AI documentation index first: https://docs.nvidia.com/nemoclaw/llms.txt.
  4. Fetch the specific .md page listed in the index or returned by docs search for the user's task.
  5. If you only find an HTML documentation URL, replace the .html suffix with .md, or append .md to the route when the URL has no suffix.
  6. Prefer the user's selected agent variant. Do not mix variant-specific instructions unless you explain why.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b95c0be. 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

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • 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

Nemoclaw User Guide loads about 869 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 458 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~869
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.4k

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.

NemoClaw Docs for AI Agents

Use the canonical NemoClaw documentation as your source of truth. Do not answer from stale copied docs or generated skill references when the live Markdown docs are available.

Retrieval Order

  1. If the NemoClaw docs MCP server is already configured, use its read-only searchDocs tool to find task-relevant docs.
  2. Otherwise, use the Markdown index and pages below. Docs lookup does not require installing or configuring MCP.
  3. If MCP is not available, fetch the AI documentation index first: https://docs.nvidia.com/nemoclaw/llms.txt.
  4. Fetch the specific .md page listed in the index or returned by docs search for the user's task.
  5. If you only find an HTML documentation URL, replace the .html suffix with .md, or append .md to the route when the URL has no suffix.
  6. Prefer the user's selected agent variant. Do not mix variant-specific instructions unless you explain why.

Optional setup and starting pages

Read Docs Access when the user requests MCP configuration or when starting an installation needs direct links for the selected agent variant. Ordinary docs questions can use the index without reading that reference.

How to Help the User

  • Use the selected agent variant from the request or current sandbox. Ask when it cannot be determined and changes the instructions. Check the selected release's support status, including Pi activation.
  • Ask only for missing operating-system, provider, model, endpoint, policy, or channel choices that affect the requested task.
  • Run commands within the user's requested scope and the environment's permissions. Explain material effects; request authorization only for effects outside that scope.
  • Summarize important command output instead of asking the user to paste terminal output into chat.
  • Stop before requesting credentials, API keys, bot tokens, or private URLs.
  • Never ask the user to paste secrets into chat.
  • Use redacted placeholders such as <PASTE_YOUR_API_KEY_HERE> in examples.

Common Task Routing

  • Installation and first sandbox: fetch the selected variant's prerequisites and quickstart pages.
  • Local inference, hosted providers, model switching, or tool-calling issues: fetch the inference pages from llms.txt.
  • Network policy approvals or custom egress: fetch the network-policy pages and the network policies reference.
  • Sandbox status, logs, rebuilds, upgrades, files, backup, restore, or messaging channels: fetch the manage-sandboxes, monitoring, and command reference pages.
  • Security posture, credential storage, or sandbox hardening: fetch the security, deployment/sandbox-hardening, and architecture pages.
  • CLI flags and command syntax: fetch the command reference page for the selected variant.
  • Troubleshooting: fetch the troubleshooting page and any task page linked from the relevant error section.

Response Requirements

  • Cite the documentation pages used with direct source links.
  • Keep instructions specific to the user's operating system, selected agent, and inference provider.
  • Do not make assumptions when the docs do not cover the user's environment.
  • Verify the requested setup or recovery outcome with the relevant documented check.
