Add it as a step in a pipeline you build on Ahel, or connect Ahel to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex and ask your AI to use it.

About this skill

Use when authoring, registering, composing, or testing custom NeMo Agent Toolkit tools, functions, function groups, Python components, custom agents, custom evaluators, or advanced extension patterns.

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by nvidia/nemo-agent-toolkit in skills/nat-tools-and-functions/SKILL.md and read by Ahel’s review.

Use this skill when adding custom Python behavior to the toolkit.

Workflow

  1. Read references/tools-and-functions.md for the registration pattern.
  2. Use FunctionInfo.from_fn() for simple async functions.
  3. Use function groups when related tools share a resource.
  4. Keep heavyweight optional imports lazy.
  5. Add focused tests for new component behavior.
