workshop-build-an-agent: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/setup-workshop-nemoclaw/SKILL.md

setup-workshop-nemoclaw is a skill for Claude Code from brevdev/workshop-build-an-agent. It costs 246 tokens per session (5,716 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A setup tool for running NVIDIA’s Build-an-Agent workshop as a JupyterLab environment inside a locked-down NemoClaw sandbox. JupyterLab is a browser-based workspace for running notebooks and code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare the workshop inside the sandbox, install its dependencies, launch JupyterLab, and receive the access URL and connection commands.
Why use it?
It handles the environment setup and works around sandbox networking and launcher issues, so the workshop can be opened from a browser without running it directly on the host.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

setup-workshop-nemoclaw scanned grade B with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 17d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 6 executable files (assets/devx-jupyterapp-bridge/static/remoteEntry.js, scripts/neutralize_pip_cells.py, scripts/preflight.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

setup-workshop-nemoclaw (in-sandbox side)

Sets up the NVIDIA Build an Agent workshop as an accessible JupyterLab instance inside an OpenShell/NemoClaw sandbox, then hands the user the port-forward + SSH commands and the token URL to open it in their browser.

This is one half of a two-skill pair:

Skill Runs Does
setup-workshop-nemoclaw-operator on the sandbox host (outside) egress policy, secrets staging, port-forward, lifecycle
this skill inside the sandbox venv + deps, netlink shim, launcher/bridge fixes, Jupyter launch, URL hand-off

Which side am I on?

Run the checks before doing anything. Inside the sandbox (use this skill): whoami → sandbox, /sandbox/ exists, docker/sudo are not found, and egress 403s come from the OpenShell proxy. On the host (use the operator skill instead): docker ps shows an openshell-<sandbox>-… container and the openshell CLI is on PATH.

When to use this skill

  • User wants to run / access / go through the Build an Agent workshop from this sandbox. The repo lives (or will be cloned) at /sandbox/workshop-build-an-agent, branch main (the repo default) — stay on it.
  • Do NOT use the generic setup-workshop skill here — it is a bare-metal installer (nvwb + Docker + CUDA + sudo) for a GPU host. It fails in the sandbox by design, not by bug.

Operator prerequisites (the handoff contract)

One thing must be true before setup can succeed, and only the operator (outside the sandbox) can make it true. Verify with scripts/preflight.sh; if missing, send the operator the exact ask from references/operator-contract.md and stop until they confirm:

  1. Egress policy allows: GET pypi.org + files.pythonhosted.org (installs); the NIM chat/embeddings routes on integrate.api.nvidia.com; POST /v1/retrieval/** on ai.api.nvidia.com (modules 2/3 reranker — NOT covered by the legacy /v1/ranking rule); POST /search on api.tavily.com (modules 1/2/5 web search); all methods on api.smith.langchain.com (module 3 + workshop-wide tracing); GET /encodings/** on openaipublic.blob.core.windows.net (module-7 tiktoken); GET registry.npmjs.org for the node binary (module-5 "Deep Agents Client" tile — without it demo/ can't npm install and the tile only ever serves its setup page); GET/POST/DELETE on mcp.tavily.com for node (module-2 PART 2A remote MCP — the shipped default); and — only if the repo is not yet cloned — git smart-HTTP on github.com scoped to the workshop repo. preflight.sh probes all of these and prints the exact ask for each gap. Not a prerequisite: NVIDIA_API_KEY. It is EXPECTED to be absent — the learner sets it in the workshop's Secrets Manager tile after launch, and preflight only WARNs about it. Leaving it unset is what makes that work: start-jupyter.sh sources secrets.env into the server env at launch and kernels inherit it, but load_dotenv() never overrides an already-set variable — so a key staged before launch would shadow every later Secrets Manager edit until a restart. Never accept a key through chat; if the operator does want one pre-seeded, they write it from the host with stage-nvidia-key.sh (a real nvapi-… key only — never COMPATIBLE_API_KEY, which is the agent's own sk-… proxy credential and yields a confusing 401).
