Nemoclaw Maintainer Morning
Productivitynemoclaw-maintainer-morningNemoclaw Maintainer Morning is an Agent Skill for productivity published in the NVIDIA/NemoClaw repository on GitHub: a SKILL.md instruction file an AI agent can load to do this task.
Runs the morning maintainer standup for NemoClaw. Triages the backlog, determines the day's target version, labels selected items, surfaces stragglers from previous versions, and outputs the daily plan. Use at the start of the workday. Trigger keywords - morning, standup, start of day, daily plan, what are we shipping today.
How to use this skill
Bring this guide into your coding agent with a prompt tailored to the tool you use.
- Open your project in Codex.
- Copy and paste the prompt below.
- Review files and risks before approving any action.
Inspect the Agent Skill at https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/blob/HEAD/.agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-morning/SKILL.md and all supporting files. Report provenance, permissions, scripts, dependencies, and security risks. Propose an exact installation into .agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-morning, but wait for my approval before writing files or running scripts.
Copying this prompt does not install or run the skill. Review third-party files before use.
NemoClaw Maintainer Morning
Start the day: triage, pick a version target, label items, share the plan.
See PR-REVIEW-PRIORITIES.md for the daily cadence and review priorities.
Step 1: Determine Target Version and Stragglers
node --experimental-strip-types --no-warnings .agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-day/scripts/version-target.ts
This fetches tags, computes the next patch version, and finds open items still carrying older version labels. Surface stragglers first — they indicate post-tag housekeeping was interrupted or an item slipped across multiple cycles. Decide whether to relabel them to today's target or defer them out of the daily release flow.
Step 2: Triage
Run the triage script to rank the full backlog:
node --experimental-strip-types --no-warnings .agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-day/scripts/triage.ts --approved-only
If too few results, run without --approved-only. The script fetches open PRs through gh, reads Project 199 Priority, enriches candidates with review, CI, file, and risky-area data, and applies the scoring model documented in PR-REVIEW-PRIORITIES.md.
Also use find-review-pr to surface security PRs whose Project Priority is Urgent or High. Merge these into the candidate pool.
Step 3: Label Version Targets
Present the ranked queue to the user. After they confirm which items to target, label them:
gh label create "<version>" --repo NVIDIA/NemoClaw --description "Release target" --color "1d76db" 2>/dev/null || true
gh pr edit <number> --repo NVIDIA/NemoClaw --add-label "<version>"
gh issue edit <number> --repo NVIDIA/NemoClaw --add-label "<version>"
Step 4: Save State and Output the Plan
Pipe triage output into state:
node --experimental-strip-types --no-warnings .agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-day/scripts/triage.ts \
| node --experimental-strip-types --no-warnings .agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-day/scripts/state.ts set-queue
Output the daily plan:
Include: total items targeted, how many are PRs vs issues, how many are already merge-ready.
Notes
- This skill runs once at the start of the day. Use
/nemoclaw-maintainer-dayduring the day to execute. - On a PR, the target version label activates daily release work; actual release inclusion requires that PR to be merged with the label at cutoff.
- On an issue, the target version label is tracking or "needs PR" coordination only.
- Stragglers from previous versions should be addressed first — they already slipped once.
