NVIDIA/NemoClaw is an open-source reference stack for running supported AI agents inside NVIDIA OpenShell sandboxes with managed inference, network policies, integrations, snapshots, and lifecycle controls. It is used to run agents such as OpenClaw, Hermes, and LangChain Deep Agents with administrative and security controls. Catalogue add-ons guide coding agents through NemoClaw workflows.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00038 | $0.01156 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00462 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00231 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00116 |
Grade A, and why
nemoclaw-maintainer-verify-stale 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.

NemoClaw Maintainer — Verify Stale Issues
Automates the maintainer loop: choose an old issue whose native Issue Type is Bug, verify whether it still reproduces on the newest NemoClaw release tag, then prepare an evidence-backed Project/comment write set for maintainer approval. It never closes issues automatically and never substitutes labels for Issue Type, lifecycle, or resolution.
Workflow
- Select candidates and versions. Read reference/candidate-selection.md. Use it for single-issue mode, batch mode, release-tag selection, filters, idempotency, active-discussion handling, and reported-version parsing.
- Classify and prepare. Read reference/environment-and-reproducer.md. Use it for CPU/GPU/provider/bug-class classification, credential isolation, transfer, and removal, untrusted-reproducer review, and isolated local verification.
- Stop for approval before remote effects or cost. In every mode, present one issue's Brev plan. Include reuse or creation, instance type and hourly price, the 60-minute execution budget, the bounded 120-second cleanup grace, credential handling, and cleanup. Wait for maintainer approval before any
brev exec,brev copy, start, create, stop, reset, or delete action. - Create and install. If the isolated local path does not settle the issue, read reference/brev-provisioning.md. Use it for Brev reuse or creation, reset, reported-release and newest-release installs, dependency bootstrap, and
brev execcommand constraints. - Run the verification rubric. Read reference/reproduction-rubrics.md. Use it to validate reported-release behavior, retry with a synthesized reproducer if needed, verify the newest release tag, handle architecture changes, and branch for performance or rebuild-cycle bugs.
- Check intentional changes. If the symptom targets removed/deprecated behavior, read reference/by-design.md. Use static evidence to recommend Project Status
Won't Fix, then request explicit approval for the Project/comment write set. - Score, propose, apply, and log. Read reference/scoring-comments-and-logging.md and the shared documentation-writing-review.md contract. Use them for confidence scoring, redaction, concise templates, authorization, issue-state race checks, approved Project 199 movement, infrastructure failures, and activity logging.
What ships with it
7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

nemoclaw-maintainer-verify-stale is a skill published in the GitHub repository NVIDIA/NemoClaw (22,871 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 1,156 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
