NVIDIA/NeMo-Relay is a runtime and library that gives coding agents and applications shared control over agent execution scopes, policies, plugins, lifecycle events, and observability data. It is for developers who need to inspect or instrument runs from agents such as Codex or Claude Code, or integrate frameworks and export traces and trajectories. The catalogue entries provide Relay plugins, hooks, instructions, skills, and an MCP server for those workflows.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00036 | $0.00960 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00480 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00192 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00096 |
Grade A, and why
maintain-ci 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 6d 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 — 104 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Maintain GitHub Actions CI
Companion Guidance
Use karpathy-guidelines alongside this skill for implementation or review
work. Keep changes scoped, surface assumptions, and define focused validation
before editing.
Use this skill when a change touches .github/workflows/*.yml or
.github/workflows/*.yaml, or when reviewing CI behavior for security,
reliability, or reproducibility.
Standards
- Put
permissions:on each job that needs token access. - Avoid workflow-level permissions unless the repository intentionally centralizes them and the inheritance tradeoff is documented.
- Keep third-party actions pinned to full commit SHAs and preserve the readable version comment after the SHA.
- Prefer action-native or ecosystem-native caching over generic
actions/cache. - Use lockfiles or dependency manifests to drive cache invalidation.
- Keep deploy and publish permissions isolated to the jobs that need them.
- Read both caller and callee when a workflow uses
workflow_call. - Put release-tag validation in the earliest practical caller job when the pipeline has tag-based publish behavior.
- Keep release-tag policy aligned with
RELEASING.md: raw SemVer tags only, no leadingv. - Keep Codecov component paths aligned with new crates, packages, and generated outputs. Dynamic plugin SDK/protocol paths belong in the plugin component.
- Keep pure-Python plugin SDK packaging as a single wheel artifact instead of duplicating it across every platform matrix entry.
Permission Model
contents: readis the default minimum for checkout-based build, test, docs, and packaging jobs.pull-requests: readis required for PR metadata lookup jobs.pages: writeandid-token: writeshould be limited to Pages deployment jobs and any caller that invokes them through a reusable workflow.- For reusable workflows, the caller must grant every permission the called jobs require. The callee cannot elevate beyond what the caller provides.
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.

maintain-ci is a skill published in the GitHub repository NVIDIA/NeMo-Relay (162 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 960 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
