# NVIDIA NemoClaw

> NemoClaw is an open-source reference stack for running sandboxed AI agents more safely, with a single command and packaged agent skills.

NVIDIA NemoClaw is an open-source reference stack for running always-on AI agents more safely inside [NVIDIA OpenShell](https://github.com/NVIDIA/OpenShell) sandboxes.
NemoClaw provides onboarding, lifecycle management, and agent operations within OpenShell containers.
It installs the OpenShell runtime, part of NVIDIA Agent Toolkit, and sets up an environment designed for executing agents with additional security and inference routing capabilities.

## Get Started

Install NemoClaw and run the onboard wizard to get started.

### From Your Coding Agent

Copy the starter prompt and paste it into your local coding agent such as Codex, Cursor, or Claude Code.

### From Your Terminal

Paste the following command into your terminal for the default installation process:

```shell
curl -fsSL https://www.nvidia.com/nemoclaw.sh | bash
```

By default, NemoClaw installs the OpenClaw agent. Use one of the following quickstart guides to get started with your preferred agent.

| Agent              | Guide                                                          |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| OpenClaw (default) | [Quickstart with OpenClaw](../openclaw/get-started/quickstart) |
| Hermes             | [Quickstart with Hermes](../hermes/get-started/quickstart)     |

## NemoClaw User Skills

Load NemoClaw's user skills for your AI coding agent before you install or operate a sandbox.
The skills turn these docs into task-focused guidance that your agent can apply to your local environment.

Clone the skills or add them to your agent so NemoClaw guidance is available directly in chat.
