NeMo-Relay: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/maintain-packaging/SKILL.md

maintain-packaging is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from NVIDIA/NeMo-Relay. It costs 58 tokens per session (601 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for maintaining the files and metadata that determine how NeMo Relay is built, named, installed, and consumed. This includes package managers and language-specific module paths.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing Cargo, Python, Go, or Node.js package metadata, generated artifacts, CI commands, FFI names, build recipes, or release tags.
Why use it?
It helps prevent mismatches between package names, import paths, generated files, installation commands, and release versions. These mismatches can break downstream users even when the source code works.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is NVIDIA/NeMo-Relay's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on NeMo-Relay itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything NeMo-Relay configures →

About the project

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.

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

maintain-packaging 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 1mo 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.

Maintain Release And Packaging Surfaces

Use this skill when a change affects how NeMo Relay is built, packaged, named, or consumed outside the source tree.

Audit Areas

  • Rust Cargo.toml package names and workspace metadata
  • Python packaging in pyproject.toml
  • Python worker plugin SDK packaging in python/plugin/pyproject.toml
  • Go module path in go/nemo_relay/go.mod
  • Node workspace metadata in root package.json and package-lock.json
  • Node package metadata in crates/node/package.json
  • FFI header and library naming
  • CI workflows, install commands, and example commands
  • justfile build, test, clean, version, and package recipes for plugin crates and packages
  • Release tags, release-note surfaces, and registry-facing version translation

Checklist

  • Every new package or plugin has an explicit versioning model: either it participates in the unified NeMo Relay release or it has an intentionally independent source of truth
  • Package names, import paths, and module names are internally consistent
  • Generated artifacts still land where downstream consumers expect
  • Docs and examples use the current install/import/build commands
  • CI references the same package names as local workflows
  • Public packaging changes are reflected in release-facing docs
  • For a new unified-release surface, its manifest version, lockfile entry, and internal NeMo Relay version pins are covered by set_project_version in the justfile; extend the owning helper and its fail-fast field checks in the same change when a value is not derived automatically, without adding a separate test that mirrors the helper's field list
  • nemo-relay-plugin Rust and Python packages track the project SemVer policy and Python wheels use valid PEP 440 translation
  • Release tags still use raw SemVer without a leading v
  • Release history and release notes still point to GitHub Releases, not CHANGELOG.md or docs pages
