Commands#

NemoClaw provides two command interfaces. The plugin commands run under the openclaw nemoclaw namespace inside the OpenClaw CLI. The standalone nemoclaw binary handles host-side setup, deployment, and service management. Both interfaces are installed when you run npm install -g nemoclaw.

Plugin Commands#

openclaw nemoclaw launch#

Bootstrap OpenClaw inside an OpenShell sandbox. If NemoClaw detects an existing host installation, launch stops unless you pass --force.

$ openclaw nemoclaw launch [--force] [--profile <profile>]
--force

Skip the ergonomics warning and force plugin-driven bootstrap. Without this flag, NemoClaw recommends using openshell sandbox create directly for new installs.

--profile <profile>

Blueprint profile to use. Default: default.

nemoclaw <name> connect#

Open an interactive shell inside the OpenClaw sandbox.

$ nemoclaw my-assistant connect

openclaw nemoclaw status#

Display sandbox health, blueprint run state, and inference configuration.

$ openclaw nemoclaw status [--json]
--json

Output as JSON for programmatic consumption.

openclaw nemoclaw logs#

Stream blueprint execution and sandbox logs.

$ openclaw nemoclaw logs [-f] [-n <count>] [--run-id <id>]
-f, --follow

Follow log output, similar to tail -f.

-n, --lines <count>

Number of lines to show. Default: 50.

--run-id <id>

Show logs for a specific blueprint run instead of the latest.

/nemoclaw Slash Command#

The /nemoclaw slash command is available inside the OpenClaw chat interface for quick actions:

Subcommand

Description

/nemoclaw status

Show sandbox and inference state

Standalone Wrapper Commands#

The nemoclaw binary handles host-side operations that run outside the OpenClaw plugin context.

nemoclaw setup#

Run the full host-side setup: start an OpenShell gateway, register inference providers, build the sandbox image, and create the sandbox.

$ nemoclaw setup

The first run prompts for your NVIDIA API key and saves it to ~/.nemoclaw/credentials.json.

nemoclaw deploy#

Deploy NemoClaw to a remote GPU instance through Brev. The deploy script installs Docker, NVIDIA Container Toolkit if a GPU is present, and OpenShell on the VM, then runs setup and connects to the sandbox.

$ nemoclaw deploy <instance-name>

nemoclaw <name> connect#

Connect to a sandbox by name.

$ nemoclaw my-assistant connect

nemoclaw term#

Open the OpenShell TUI to monitor sandbox activity and approve network egress requests.

$ nemoclaw term                  # local
$ nemoclaw term my-gpu-box       # remote Brev instance

nemoclaw start#

Start auxiliary services, such as the Telegram bridge and cloudflared tunnel.

$ nemoclaw start

Requires TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN for the Telegram bridge.

nemoclaw stop#

Stop all auxiliary services.

$ nemoclaw stop

nemoclaw status#

Show the status of running auxiliary services.

$ nemoclaw status
