What it does

This skill connects the NanoClaw assistant to Signal by installing signal-cli, a third-party command-line Signal client, and linking NanoClaw to your Signal account as a secondary device, much like adding a desktop app. Once linked, you can message the assistant from your own Signal chats and groups, and it replies as that number, without registering a new number or bot account. It also walks through wiring Signal chats to an agent and granting users access.

Great for

  • Developers running NanoClaw who want a personal assistant reachable over Signal
  • Users who want to chat with their assistant from their existing Signal number instead of a new bot account

Skip it if

  • Anyone uncomfortable with an assistant reading and replying to messages from their personal Signal account, since it acts as that number
  • Setups where you cannot install signal-cli or run Node.js and pnpm build steps, since the skill depends on them

Try asking

  • “Add Signal as a messaging channel for my NanoClaw assistant”
  • “Link my Signal account to NanoClaw using a QR code”
  • “Wire my Signal group chat to my existing agent group”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Run the steps in order and confirm signal-cli is on PATH before linking, since the link step fails without it.
  • Link within about 3 minutes, because the QR code expires; rerun the link step for a fresh one.
  • Send a message from the phone first so the messaging_groups row exists before wiring and granting user access.
