Include SDK environment and hook inputs in both cache keys.
The workflow triggers on scripts/fern-ref-sdk-environment.mjs and scripts/fern-ref-sdk-hooks/**, but neither cache key hashes those files. After either file changes, GitHub Actions can restore an SDK cache created with the old hook or environment and reuse stale historical references. Add these inputs to both hashFiles(...) expressions.

| # NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails Library Agent Instructions | ||
|
|
||
| You are helping me get started with the NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails library from this AI coding agent. | ||
| Assume I may not have installed the Python package yet and may not have cloned the GitHub repository, so local `.agents/skills/` and `AGENTS.md` files might not exist. | ||
|
|
||
| ## How to Help Me | ||
|
|
||
| - Help me install, add, configure, evaluate, debug, or deploy guardrails for an LLM application. | ||
| - Use the official NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails library documentation as the source of truth. | ||
| - Prefer the docs MCP server if this agent supports MCP. | ||
| - Otherwise, use the documentation index at `https://docs.nvidia.com/nemo/guardrails/llms.txt`, then fetch the clean Markdown form of the relevant page by using the page URL with `.md`. | ||
| - Use Markdown documentation under `https://docs.nvidia.com/nemo/guardrails/` when loading information for agent context. When presenting references or citations to me, use the canonical human-readable docs links without `.md`. | ||
| - If a full Markdown documentation bundle is available, use it only when you need broad cross-page context. | ||
| - Do not hardcode staging documentation URLs unless I explicitly ask you to use staging. | ||
| - Check my installed `nemoguardrails` version only after you confirm the package is installed. If it is not installed yet, use the current Installation docs first. If you cannot determine the version after installation, ask whether to use the latest docs. | ||
| - If I am working from a cloned repository, you may also use local `docs/**/*.mdx`, `README.md`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`, and `AGENTS.md` files as context. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Identify My Role First | ||
|
|
||
| Before giving install or usage instructions, ask who I am: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Developer using the NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails library in an application. | ||
| 2. Contributor changing the Guardrails repository. | ||
|
|
||
| If I choose developer, follow the Developer Path. | ||
| If I choose contributor, follow the Contributor Path. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Developer Path | ||
|
|
||
| Use this Markdown documentation page as the first source for installation and prerequisite handling: | ||
|
|
||
| `https://docs.nvidia.com/nemo/guardrails/latest/get-started/installation-guide.md` | ||
|
|
||
| Help me install the library based on that page. | ||
| Check whether prerequisites already exist before asking me to install anything: | ||
|
|
||
| - Supported operating system: Windows, Linux, or macOS. | ||
| - Python version: 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, or 3.13. | ||
| - Hardware: at least 1 CPU with 4 GB RAM for the library; external models may require separate GPUs. | ||
|
|
||
| If a prerequisite is missing, explain the gap and help me handle it while referring to the relevant docs page. | ||
| Then help me create a virtual environment, install `nemoguardrails`, and set required environment variables with placeholders, following the Installation docs. | ||
| Never ask me to paste real API keys into chat. | ||
| After installation succeeds, ask which tutorial I want to try next from the Tutorials docs: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Check Harmful Content. If this is selected, load `https://docs.nvidia.com/nemo/guardrails/latest/get-started/tutorials/nemotron-safety-guard-deployment.md` | ||
| 2. Content Safety Reasoning. If this is selected, load `https://docs.nvidia.com/nemo/guardrails/latest/get-started/tutorials/nemotron-content-safety-reasoning-deployment.md` | ||
| 3. Restrict Topics. If this is selected, load `https://docs.nvidia.com/nemo/guardrails/latest/get-started/tutorials/nemoguard-topiccontrol-deployment.md` | ||
| 4. Detect Jailbreak Attempts. If this is selected, load `https://docs.nvidia.com/nemo/guardrails/latest/get-started/tutorials/nemoguard-jailbreakdetect-deployment.md` | ||
| 5. Jailbreak Heuristics. If this is selected, load `https://docs.nvidia.com/nemo/guardrails/latest/get-started/tutorials/jailbreak-detection-heuristics.md` | ||
| 6. Add Multimodal Content Safety. If this is selected, load `https://docs.nvidia.com/nemo/guardrails/latest/get-started/tutorials/multimodal.md` | ||
|
|
||
| ## Contributor Path | ||
|
|
||
| Help me clone the Guardrails repository before assuming local repository instructions exist: | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA-NeMo/Guardrails.git nemoguardrails | ||
| cd nemoguardrails | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| After the repository is available, help me navigate the implemented contributor guidance: | ||
|
|
||
| - Start with `AGENTS.md` for root repository rules. | ||
| - Follow `nemoguardrails/AGENTS.md` when changing package runtime code. | ||
| - Follow `docs/AGENTS.md` when editing documentation. | ||
| - Follow `CONTRIBUTING.md` and `AI_POLICY.md` for public contribution and AI-assistance policy. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Start by Understanding My Goal | ||
|
|
||
| Ask one focused question first: what am I trying to do? | ||
| Offer these choices when useful: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Help me install the library or verify my environment. | ||
| 2. Add basic input/output guardrails to an app. | ||
| 3. Choose which guardrail type or catalog item to use. | ||
| 4. Write or debug Colang flows. | ||
| 5. Integrate with Python, LangChain, LangGraph, or the Guardrails API server. | ||
| 6. Add custom actions or a custom model/provider. | ||
| 7. Evaluate guardrails or run vulnerability scanning. | ||
| 8. Configure tracing, metrics, logging, Docker, or deployment. | ||
| 9. Troubleshoot an error. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Security and Credentials | ||
|
|
||
| - Never ask me to paste real API keys, tokens, passwords, or private credentials into chat. | ||
| - Use placeholders such as `<NVIDIA_API_KEY>`, `<OPENAI_API_KEY>`, or `<YOUR_ENDPOINT>` in examples. | ||
| - If a command needs a secret, explain where the secret should be set locally, then let me provide it through my shell, environment, secret manager, or local UI. | ||
| - Do not print real secrets in commands, summaries, logs, or generated files. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Working Style | ||
|
|
||
| - Keep answers task-oriented and concise. | ||
| - Show the smallest working example first, then explain optional production hardening. | ||
| - When writing code or configuration, prefer current documented patterns. | ||
| - When using live model endpoints in examples, clearly state that unit tests should mock LLM/provider calls. | ||
| - If I am contributing to the repository rather than just using the library, switch to the repository contribution rules from `CONTRIBUTING.md` and `AGENTS.md`. | ||
|
|
||
| Begin by asking whether I am a developer using the NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails library in an application or a contributor changing the Guardrails repository. | ||
| </Prompt> | ||

Reduce the starter prompt and remove the duplicate workflow guidance.
Both pages copy a large prompt that restates installation, tutorials, contributor rules, and security guidance. Keep the starter prompt limited to documentation discovery, version selection, and a link to the canonical agent guidance. This prevents the two copies from drifting.
docs/getting-started/use-with-ai-agent.mdx#L21-L136: replace the detailed workflow instructions with a short bootstrap prompt that routes to canonical documentation.docs/index.mdx#L18-L133: link to the canonical “Use with AI Agents” guidance instead of duplicating the full prompt.
As per coding guidelines, product-usage agent guidance must route to canonical documentation, and starter prompts must bootstrap agents instead of restating documentation content.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Use version-matched URLs after package detection.
The prompt tells the agent to align documentation with the installed nemoguardrails version. It then unconditionally requires latest installation and tutorial pages. This gives users of published historical versions instructions for a different release.
Use latest only when the package is absent or its version cannot be determined. Otherwise, require the matching versioned documentation route.
docs/getting-started/use-with-ai-agent.mdx#L46-L86: make the installation and tutorial URLs conditional on the installed package version.docs/index.mdx#L43-L83: make the mirrored installation and tutorial URLs conditional on the installed package version.
As per coding guidelines, document version-alignment behavior when agents use the documentation.

Require an immutable SDK input revision before using the cache.
Line 49 accepts any non-empty ref, including the v0.23.0 tag used by the historical snapshot. The cache key uses expectedCommit, not the resolved SDK commit. If the tag moves, the cache can restore SDK pages from the previous source revision.
Reject non-SHA refs, or resolve libraryConfig.input.ref to a commit SHA and include that SHA in cacheDirectory.

Description
Use Fern's Git-ref version publishing to add immutable historical documentation versions without copying release content into the current working tree.
Latestbacked by the currentdocs/index.yml.v0.23.0from the stablev0.23.0Git tag.v0.22.0from commitfb73f41b0fa2ef6c50c90d76f8b20533e4c9a51e. Thev0.22.0release tag predates the Fern migration, while this curated post-migration commit contains the required Fern configuration, navigation, and OpenAPI files.5.91.0, which supports ref-backed documentation versions.fern docs devrenders working-tree versions only.Using immutable refs keeps historical versions stable across republishes and avoids a mutable backfill branch. Areas for careful review are whether the selected
v0.22.0commit represents the intended snapshot and the stable/deprecated availability labels.Related Issue(s)
