What it does

Nemoclaw User Guide is an agent skill from NVIDIA/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Guides human users' AI agents to the NemoClaw docs MCP server and canonical Fern documentation in Markdown form. Use when users ask how to install, configure, operate, troubleshoot, secure, or learn NemoClaw with an AI coding assistant. Trigger keywords - nemoclaw docs, use nemoclaw with ai agent, nemoclaw mcp docs, nemoclaw install help, nemoclaw quickstart, nemoclaw markdown docs, llms.txt, agent skills.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files (for example `BENCHMARK.md`, `evals/evals.json` and `skill-card.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Technical writing, MCP servers and AI search optimization. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Agent Skills for NVIDIA products — install into Claude Code, Codex, and other coding agents to run Physical AI, robotics, simulation, CUDA, and RAG workflows end to end. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Users ask how to install
  • Learn NemoClaw with an AI coding assistant
  • Keywords - nemoclaw docs
  • Use nemoclaw with ai agent

Example prompts

  • “Use the nemoclaw-user-guide skill to guide human users' AI agents to the NemoClaw docs MCP server and canonical Fern documentation in Markdown form”
  • “/nemoclaw-user-guide”

Workflow steps

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

  1. If the assistant supports MCP, configure the NemoClaw docs MCP server at https://docs.nvidia.com/nemoclaw/_mcp/server.
  2. Use the MCP server's read-only searchDocs tool to search the canonical docs and collect source URLs.
  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 dfdd080. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • claude

    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 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 107 tokens; SKILL.md has 483 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~107
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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 assistant supports MCP, configure the NemoClaw docs MCP server at https://docs.nvidia.com/nemoclaw/_mcp/server.
  2. Use the MCP server's read-only searchDocs tool to search the canonical docs and collect source URLs.
  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.

Configure the MCP Server

For Claude Code, run:

bash
claude mcp add --transport http fern-docs https://docs.nvidia.com/nemoclaw/_mcp/server

For Cursor, add https://docs.nvidia.com/nemoclaw/_mcp/server to the MCP server configuration. For other MCP clients, configure a streamable HTTP MCP server at that URL.

Starting Pages

Use these pages first for common onboarding flows:

  • OpenClaw home: https://docs.nvidia.com/nemoclaw/latest/user-guide/openclaw/home.md.
  • OpenClaw prerequisites: https://docs.nvidia.com/nemoclaw/latest/user-guide/openclaw/get-started/prerequisites.md.
  • OpenClaw quickstart: https://docs.nvidia.com/nemoclaw/latest/user-guide/openclaw/get-started/quickstart.md.
  • Hermes home: https://docs.nvidia.com/nemoclaw/latest/user-guide/hermes/home.md.
  • Hermes prerequisites: https://docs.nvidia.com/nemoclaw/latest/user-guide/hermes/get-started/prerequisites.md.
  • Hermes quickstart: https://docs.nvidia.com/nemoclaw/latest/user-guide/hermes/get-started/quickstart.md.
  • Deep Agents home: https://docs.nvidia.com/nemoclaw/latest/user-guide/deepagents/home.md.
  • Deep Agents prerequisites: https://docs.nvidia.com/nemoclaw/latest/user-guide/deepagents/get-started/prerequisites.md.
  • Deep Agents quickstart: https://docs.nvidia.com/nemoclaw/latest/user-guide/deepagents/get-started/quickstart.md.

How to Help the User

  • Ask which agent variant they want to use before giving setup instructions: OpenClaw, Hermes, or Deep Agents.
  • Ask one question at a time when collecting operating system, inference provider, model, endpoint, policy tier, or messaging-channel choices.
  • Run commands for non-technical users when your environment allows it, after explaining what the command does and getting permission.
  • 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.
Show full SKILL.md (169 more words)Show less

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 Markdown documentation pages you used. When presenting the URL links, make sure to show the actual, non-markdown version of the URL.
  • 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.
  • Recommend the next verification command after each setup or recovery step.
