NemoClaw: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-release-notes/SKILL.md

nemoclaw-maintainer-release-notes is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from NVIDIA/NemoClaw. It costs 41 tokens per session (1,908 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A release-note drafting guide for NemoClaw versions after a Git tag is created. GitHub tags mark specific points in a project's history.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to summarize shipped changes, explain why they matter, mention required actions, and credit outside contributors in a local Markdown draft.
Why use it?
It turns the tagged changes into a consistent announcement without changing the official changelog or publishing anything automatically.

This is NVIDIA/NemoClaw's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on NemoClaw 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 NemoClaw configures →

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is ../nemoclaw-release-vX.Y.Z/release-note-draft.md.

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-release-notes 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 10d 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.

NemoClaw Maintainer Release Notes

Draft the post-tag NemoClaw Announcement from GitHub tag and compare data. The house style is:

  • three narrative lead paragraphs,
  • a categorized list of shipped changes,
  • one bullet for each shipped change that states what changed and why it matters,
  • external-only contributor thanks,
  • visible #NNNN GitHub links.

Follow the shared Documentation Writing and Review contract for new or modified Announcement text. State the changed behavior, affected users, and required action when one exists. Do not rewrite unrelated historical release text.

Create a local Markdown draft. Do not create or update a GitHub Discussion; the maintainer posts the announcement manually.

Prerequisites

  • You must be in the NemoClaw git repository.
  • gh must be authenticated for NVIDIA/NemoClaw.
  • The release tag should already exist. If the user is still cutting the tag, use nemoclaw-maintainer-cut-release-tag first.
  • The tagged commit should already contain exactly one ## <current-version> entry in docs/changelog/YYYY-MM-DD.mdx. This skill drafts the post-tag Announcement and does not replace or create that canonical entry.
  • Use live GitHub and remote tag state, not memory or a stale local branch.
  • Read the signed tag annotation or its release-brief.md source for release-range facts. Do not copy internal test results or exception details into the public Announcement.

Step 1: Verify the Release Range

Identify the current release tag and previous release tag. If the user gives only the current version, derive the previous semver tag from remote tags.

git ls-remote https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw.git \
  refs/heads/main \
  refs/tags/<previous-version> 'refs/tags/<previous-version>^{}' \
  refs/tags/<current-version> 'refs/tags/<current-version>^{}'

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.
