Nel Assistant is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the devops sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/nel-assistant/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when the user wants to create a new evaluation config from scratch, set up an evaluation from existing configs, or modify a NEL config (deployment, tasks, multi-node, interceptors). ALWAYS triggers on mentions of creating configs, setting up evaluations, configuring models for evaluation, or modifying NEL YAML files.
The Nel Assistant Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 70,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
