NemoClaw: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-day/SKILL.md

nemoclaw-maintainer-day is a skill for Claude Code from NVIDIA/NemoClaw. It costs 106 tokens per session (1,042 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A daytime maintainer workflow that handles one prioritized NemoClaw release task at a time. It can guide work such as reviewing pull requests, fixing tests, resolving conflicts, or handling security items.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during the workday to inspect release progress, choose the next action, make small fixes, and prepare eligible pull requests for approval.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to move version-targeted work forward while leaving merge, product-scope, and architecture decisions with the maintainer.

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

nemoclaw-maintainer-day 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 today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 9 executable files (scripts/check-gates.ts, scripts/handoff-summary.ts, scripts/hotspots.ts, …), 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.

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 — 103 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

NemoClaw Maintainer Day

Execute one pass of the maintainer loop, prioritizing version-targeted work.

Autonomy: You may push small fixes after required CI and scheduled automated reviews settle for one unchanged latest PR commit. You may approve a PR when all gates pass. Report contributor and approver overlap as an advisory. It does not change merge readiness or require another reviewer. Never merge. Ask the user about merge, product-scope, and architecture decisions. Also ask when contributor intent is unclear.

Treat the recorded latest PR commit as an optimistic publication guard. Immediately before a push, confirm that the remote branch still points to that commit. Stop when another workflow publishes first.

Step 1: Check Version Progress

node --no-warnings .agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-day/scripts/version-target.ts
node --no-warnings .agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-day/scripts/version-progress.ts <version>

The first script selects the target version. The second lists shipped and open items.

Step 2: Pick One Action

Before reviewing, repairing, approving, integrating, or pushing a PR, complete PR follow-up successfully for one unchanged latest PR commit. This prerequisite does not apply to an item with no PR candidate.

Select the first applicable action for an open item:

  1. PR ready for approval — CI passes, no conflicts remain, and tests cover the change. Confirm that there is no unresolved correctness or security issue. Follow MERGE-GATE.md.
  2. PR that needs a small fix — Follow SALVAGE-PR.md.
  3. Security item — The item touches a risky area. Follow SECURITY-SWEEP.md.
  4. Test gap — Risky code does not have sufficient tests. Follow TEST-GAPS.md.
  5. Repeated conflicts — Follow HOTSPOTS.md.
  6. Work that needs sequencing — The work is too large for one pass. Follow SEQUENCE-WORK.md.

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.
