setup
The setup skill automates NanoClaw installation and configuration by guiding users to run a bash script that handles all dependencies, container setup, API credential configuration, service initialization, and agent creation in one operation. Use this skill when users request initial installation, configuration, or first-time setup of NanoClaw.
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/nanocoai/nanoclaw /tmp/setup && cp -r /tmp/setup/.claude/skills/setup ~/.claude/skills/setupSKILL.md
# NanoClaw Setup Tell the user to run `bash nanoclaw.sh` in their terminal. That script handles the full end-to-end setup — dependencies, container image, OneCLI vault, Anthropic credential, service, first agent, and optional channel wiring. If they hit an error partway through, the script offers Claude-assisted recovery inline and resumes from where it stopped.
Add local office-document-to-Markdown conversion to NanoClaw agent containers with the pinned Firecrawl AnyDoc CLI. Use when agents need to read attached Word, PowerPoint, Excel, OpenDocument, RTF, EPUB, CSV, or text-based PDF files without uploading them to a hosted parser.
Add Atomic Chat MCP server so the container agent can call local models served by the Atomic Chat desktop app via its OpenAI-compatible API.
Add clidash — a zero-dependency, read-only web dashboard that derives its tabs and tables at runtime from any CLI that lists resources as JSON. Ships pre-wired for NanoClaw's ncl CLI (agent groups, sessions, channels, users, roles), plus message-activity charts, a log tail, and a read-only file viewer for group skills/CLAUDE.md/profiles.
Use Codex (OpenAI's codex app-server) as a full agent provider — planning, tool orchestration, MCP tools, server-side history, session resume — alongside or instead of Claude. ChatGPT subscription or OpenAI API key, vault-only via OneCLI. Per-group via `ncl groups config update --provider codex`. Distinct from using OpenAI as an MCP tool (where Claude remains the planner).
Add a monitoring dashboard to NanoClaw. Installs @nanoco/nanoclaw-dashboard and a pusher that sends periodic JSON snapshots.
Add DeltaChat channel integration via @deltachat/stdio-rpc-server. Native adapter — no Chat SDK bridge. Email-based messaging with end-to-end encryption.
Add Dial channel integration — a real phone number for SMS and AI voice calls via the Dial platform (getdial.ai). Native adapter — no Chat SDK bridge.
Add another phone number to an existing Dial channel — a second (or third) public line for the agent, so one NanoClaw install answers SMS and AI voice calls on multiple numbers. Use when Dial is already installed and the operator wants an additional number (e.g. a personal line plus a support line). Requires the Dial channel to already be installed (see /add-dial).
