NVIDIA-labs OO Agents (NOOA)

Use the nooa package and namespace. It comes from PyPI, and the plugin's own pyproject.toml declares the version floor.

For detailed framework guidance, consult the skills at the upstream tag that matches the floor: https://github.com/NVIDIA-NeMo/labs-OO-Agents/tree/v0.0.9/skills

Before changing framework behavior, inspect the installed implementation or the matching upstream skill instead of guessing. In Experimentalist:

• Call super().__init__() before attaching tools or skills.
• Use GuardedShellTools where workspace access must remain restricted.
• Hide internal skill registries with spec(self, "skills", hidden=True).
• Keep the explicit orjson==3.11.9 workaround required by nooa's LiteLLM tool-call path.

Verification

Use the repository root .venv and the README's standard uv workflow. Run:

uv run --frozen pytest -q <focused migration tests>
uv run --frozen ruff check .
uv run --frozen ruff format --check .
uv run --frozen pyright

Then run the changed agent end to end with its configured model.
