NeMo Agent Toolkit Optimization

Use this skill when improving workflow quality through nat optimize.

Workflow

Fix workflow correctness issues before optimizing.
Size the run and explain the chosen n_trials, parallelism, and stopping behavior.
Use separate evaluators for separate quality dimensions.
Run nat optimize with a generous timeout.
Inspect output artifacts before writing tuned values back to workflow YAML.

Guardrail

Do not kill nat optimize mid-run unless the user asks. It writes final artifacts when the study finishes cleanly.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
