Use when writing or modifying npa CLI commands or SDK functions — registration, option naming, path contract, output format, error handling, exit codes, the decorators that are easy to forget, and config/credential access.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# npa CLI And SDK Conventions

Conventions for changing the `npa` package itself. For the full path of adding a
new tool, use `skills/workflows/add-workbench-tool/SKILL.md`.

The codebase is mixed: some modules predate the current pattern. Where this
skill and an existing module disagree, follow this skill and leave the old module
alone unless you are deliberately migrating it.

## Where Code Goes

Behavior belongs in `npa/src/npa/workbench/<tool_snake>/`. The CLI and SDK are
clients of it, not second implementations. Three integration patterns exist:

- **Workbench module first** — the SDK builds a Pydantic request and calls the
  shared implementation, or HTTP when `service=True`. This is the pattern for
  new work. See `npa/src/npa/sdk/workbench/dataset.py`.
- **CLI wrapper** — `make_cli_wrapper` in `npa/src/npa/_sdk.py` exposes an
  existing CLI callback as an SDK function. Used by older orchestration-heavy
  tools such as LeRobot. Do not choose it for new tools.
- **Direct module import** — for platform code with no service, such as
  `npa/src/npa/sdk/provisioning.py`.

## Registration

Register workload command groups under `npa workbench` in

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nebius/nebius-physical-ai/npa-cli-conventions@sha256:e5590662d52c8be2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.f689ed1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
