NVIDIA NemoClaw is an open-source reference stack for running always-on AI agents more safely inside 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. NemoClaw also ships user skills for AI coding assistants, so tools such as Cursor and Claude Code can guide you through setup, inference, policy management, monitoring, deployment, security, and troubleshooting from the same documentation.
Install NemoClaw and run the onboard wizard to get started.
By default, NemoClaw installs the OpenClaw agent. Use one of the following quickstart guides to get started with your preferred agent.
The NemoClaw documentation provides separate user guides for the agents it supports. Select the guide that matches your agent. You can also select the guide from the dropdown at the top of the left navigation pane.

OverviewIf you work from an AI coding assistant, load NemoClaw’s user skills before you install or operate a sandbox. The skills turn these docs into task-focused guidance that your assistant can apply to your local environment.
