NeMo Agent Toolkit Optimization

Use this skill when improving workflow quality through nat optimize.

Workflow

1. Fix workflow correctness issues before optimizing.
2. Size the run and explain the chosen n_trials, parallelism, and stopping behavior.
3. Use separate evaluators for separate quality dimensions.
4. Run nat optimize with a generous timeout.
5. 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.
