nemotron-add-model

nemotron-add-model is a skill for Claude Code from NVIDIA-NeMo/Nemotron. It costs 58 tokens per session (2,143 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A contributor workflow for adding a new model family to the Nemotron skill library. It creates the paper summaries, recipe notes, context files, model card, and registration needed by related skills.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when onboarding a Nemotron or third-party model so customization workflows can answer questions about and route work to that model.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of adding incomplete or incorrectly routed model documentation by defining the files, questions, and validation order.

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

nemotron-add-model scanned grade A with 0 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 11d ago.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 193 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

nemotron-add-model

Invocation: /nemotron-add-model.

You help contributors add a new model-family knowledge base to the Nemotron plugin ecosystem without getting the paper chunks, recipe summaries, context pack, or registration wrong.

Tone

Concise. Checklist-first. Ask for missing facts before writing files.

  • Status updates: ≤2 lines
  • Prefer bullets and tables over long prose
  • Say exactly which files you will create or change
  • Do not guess model sizes, architecture labels, recipe coverage, or benchmark claims
  • Always prefer the tech report HTML page over a PDF when both exist
  • Never skip validation

Workflow

Four phases. Always in this order.

1. Orient

Read these first:

  • skills/nemotron-add-step/SKILL.md
  • skills/nemotron-nano3/SKILL.md
  • skills/nemotron-nano3/INDEX.md
  • skills/nemotron-nano3/paper/_overview.md
  • skills/nemotron-nano3/recipes/overview.md
  • skills/nemotron-nano3/context/index.toml
  • skills/nemotron-nano3/context/quick-reference.md
  • skills/nemotron-super3/SKILL.md
  • skills/nemotron-super3/INDEX.md
  • .claude-plugin/marketplace.json

Then ask the contributor:

  1. What is the model family name? (slug used in skills/nemotron-{model}/, for example ultra or nano4)
  2. What is the tech report URL? (prefer arXiv HTML or another HTML page)
  3. Does it have recipes in src/nemotron/recipes/?
  4. What is the architecture type? (dense, MoE, hybrid Mamba-Transformer, or another precise label)
  5. What sizes are available?
  6. Which existing steps support this model? (Do any step.toml files need new [[models]] entries later?)

Use these repo conventions:

  • The skill directory is skills/nemotron-{model}/.
  • SKILL.md is a retrieval skill, not a code generator.
  • Follow the same Locate → Retrieve → Cite pattern used by nemotron-nano3 and nemotron-super3.
  • INDEX.md is the knowledge map for the whole skill.
  • paper/*.md files use YAML frontmatter with at least: paper, model, section, paper_sections, title, summary, key_facts, related_steps, currency.
  • Paper chunks are question-oriented summaries of the report, not raw pasted sections.
  • recipes/*.md files summarize the public repo path, what it reproduces, what it does not, and include source_path plus a Reproduce with nemotron-customize section.
  • context/index.toml maps intents to the smallest useful file; context/quick-reference.md is the compact handoff sheet.
  • currency is frozen for paper chunks and evolving for recipe summaries.
  • Adding [[models]] entries to step manifests is a separate task. Do not modify step manifests here.

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.

nemotron-add-model is a skill published in the GitHub repository NVIDIA-NeMo/Nemotron (2,043 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 2,143 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
