What it does

This skill teaches an AI agent to handle requests to install or configure NanoClaw. Instead of walking you through each step itself, the agent tells you to run the included nanoclaw.sh script in your terminal. That script handles dependencies, a container image, a credential vault, your Anthropic credential, a background service, a first agent, and optional chat-channel wiring. If something fails partway, the script offers Claude-assisted recovery and resumes where it stopped.

Great for

  • People installing NanoClaw for the first time
  • Users who want a guided, script-driven setup rather than manual configuration

Skip it if

  • Anyone who does not want to install NanoClaw, since the skill only points to its installer
  • Users who are uneasy running a shell script on their machine without first reading it, since the setup changes system software and stores credentials

Try asking

  • “Install NanoClaw on my machine”
  • “Help me configure NanoClaw for the first time”
  • “Run the NanoClaw setup”
