AI Coding Agent Skills

The NeMo Agent Toolkit repository includes reusable AI coding agent skills under skills/. The root AGENTS.md file provides the entry point and routes agents to focused skill folders for installation, workflow authoring, agent configuration, tools and functions, evaluation, optimization, telemetry, and serving.

Use the skill when you want an AI coding agent to help with NeMo Agent Toolkit development tasks such as writing workflow YAML, creating functions, configuring nat eval, or adding telemetry.

Install the Skill

Use AGENTS.md from the repository root as the coding-agent entry point. If you install the skills into another workspace, copy AGENTS.md to that workspace root, then copy every directory under skills/ into the skill directory used by your coding agent. Restart the agent session after copying the skills so the agent can discover each SKILL.md.

Claude Code

For a user-level install:

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/* ~/.claude/skills/

For a project-level install:

mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r skills/* .claude/skills/

Codex

For a user-level install:

mkdir -p ~/.codex/skills
cp -r skills/* ~/.codex/skills/

Other Coding Agents

Copy the relevant folders from skills/ into the skills or rules directory supported by your agent. Each skill follows the common SKILL.md directory pattern:

skills/nat-workflow-creation/
├── SKILL.md
└── references/

Example Prompts

Use prompts like the following after installing the skill:

  • "Use the NeMo Agent Toolkit skill to scaffold a ReAct workflow that calls a custom support-ticket lookup function."
  • "Create an evaluation config for this workflow with a JSON dataset and a trajectory evaluator."
  • "Add OpenTelemetry tracing to this workflow and export spans to a local file."
  • "Run nat info components and fix this workflow YAML so every _type is registered."
  • "Add an optimizer config that tunes the LLM temperature and prompt for this workflow."

Skill Contents

The NeMo Agent Toolkit skills include:

  • skills/nat-user-rules/SKILL.md: General behavior and cross-skill routing.
  • skills/nat-installation/SKILL.md: Installation and first workflow setup.
  • skills/nat-workflow-creation/SKILL.md: Workflow YAML, LLM configuration, and CLI usage.
  • skills/nat-agent-configuration/SKILL.md: Agent selection and sub-agent composition.
  • skills/nat-tools-and-functions/SKILL.md: Custom tools, functions, and extension patterns.
  • skills/nat-evaluation/SKILL.md: Evaluation methodology, datasets, and evaluators.
  • skills/nat-optimization/SKILL.md: Optimizer configuration and output interpretation.
  • skills/nat-telemetry/SKILL.md: Logging, tracing, profiling, and telemetry exporters.
  • skills/nat-mcp-and-serving/SKILL.md: MCP and serving workflows.
  • skills/nat-path-checks/SKILL.md: Documentation path-check failures and Markdown escaping guidance.
  • skills/skill-evolution/SKILL.md: Skill maintenance, routing changes, and reusable lessons learned.
