Nemotron Retrieval Recipes

Invocation: $nemotron-retrieval-recipes.

Purpose

Use this skill to work with public Nemotron embedding and reranking retrieval recipes in a source checkout or installed package. Prefer the current checkout over memory, because the recipe CLI, configs, containers, and output paths are actively changing. Treat each recipe family as available only after its recipe directory and matching CLI files are present.

This is a public product skill, not contributor-only guidance. Its value over static docs is to make an agent route the user's retrieval failure to the right recipe family, reconcile docs with the current checkout, avoid accidental long-running launches, preserve secrets, and return concrete preview/execution/run-report commands.

Use it only for tasks tied to the public Nemotron embed or rerank recipe flow. If the request is unrelated retrieval theory, generic vector database selection, generic benchmark advice, or non-recipe Docker/Slurm/NIM troubleshooting, stop with a short scope note and do not inspect recipe files in that turn.

Security Notes

Use Bash for repo-scoped inspection, help, dry-run, and user-approved execution commands. Do not run API, GPU, Docker, Slurm, NIM, or other long-running work unless the user explicitly asks for it. Never run broad environment dumps or commands that expose secret values. Prefer dotlist overrides and config review over editing recipe defaults.
