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

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

setup-workshop-nemoclaw-operator is a skill for Claude Code from brevdev/workshop-build-an-agent. It costs 280 tokens per session (6,662 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An operator guide for preparing the host side of a Build an Agent workshop inside an OpenShell/NemoClaw sandbox. The workshop teaches people to build AI agents, while the host side connects the sandbox to the learner’s computer.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps configure network access and secrets, start or unblock the sandbox agent, forward a port, and open the workshop’s JupyterLab interface.
Why use it?
It handles the outside setup needed when the workshop runs in that specific sandbox environment rather than directly on the machine.

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 A, and why

setup-workshop-nemoclaw-operator scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 21d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/build-workshop-policy.py, scripts/lib.sh, scripts/stage-nvidia-key.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.

setup-workshop-nemoclaw-operator (host side)

Prepares an OpenShell/NemoClaw sandbox so the in-sandbox agent can stand up the Build-an-Agent workshop, then opens the access path from the user's laptop to the resulting JupyterLab. This is one half of a two-skill pair:

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

Should this skill run at all?

The workshop's DEFAULT setup path is the setup-workshop skill — the standard installer for the ordinary pathways (bare metal on Brev, local install via AI Workbench, GPU hosts). A generic request like "set up the build-an-agent workshop" goes there, not here.

Invoke this skill ONLY when at least one of these is true:

  1. The user names it explicitly (setup-workshop-nemoclaw-operator, or asks for the "nemoclaw operator" setup skill), or
  2. The user explicitly says the workshop should run with "NemoClaw" or inside an "OpenShell" sandbox.

If neither holds, stop and use setup-workshop instead — do not infer the sandbox path from circumstantial evidence (e.g. a sandbox merely existing on the host).

Which side am I on?

On the host (use this skill): docker ps shows an openshell-<sandbox>-… container, the openshell CLI is on PATH, and you are NOT user sandbox. Inside the sandbox (use the other skill): whoami → sandbox, /sandbox/ exists, no docker/sudo.

Conventions

SANDBOX=hermes-direct                                    # the sandbox name (adjust)
# Its container — exact, fail-closed selection by OpenShell runtime labels
# (substring grep can match a similarly named sandbox, e.g. hermes-direct-2):
C=$(docker ps --filter 'label=openshell.ai/managed-by=openshell' \
              --filter "label=openshell.ai/sandbox-name=$SANDBOX" --format '{{.Names}}')
[ "$(printf '%s\n' "$C" | grep -c .)" -eq 1 ] || echo "FATAL: not exactly one container for '$SANDBOX': ${C:-none}"

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
