setup

An initial setup guide for NanoClaw, a project that connects agents to WhatsApp and background services.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for installing dependencies, authenticating WhatsApp, registering a main channel, and starting NanoClaw services.
Why use it?
It helps complete installation and configuration while pausing when actions such as scanning a WhatsApp QR code or providing a secret are required.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade D, and why

setup scanned grade D with 3 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

- Linux: `curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x | sudo -E bash - && sudo apt-get install -y nodejs`, or nvm

Downloads and executes remote codehighSupply chain

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

- Linux: install with `curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh && sudo usermod -aG docker $USER`. Note: user may need to log out/in for group membership.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 187 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

NanoClaw Setup

Run setup steps automatically. Only pause when user action is required (WhatsApp authentication, configuration choices). Setup uses bash setup.sh for bootstrap, then npx tsx setup/index.ts --step <name> for all other steps. Steps emit structured status blocks to stdout. Verbose logs go to logs/setup.log.

Principle: When something is broken or missing, fix it. Don't tell the user to go fix it themselves unless it genuinely requires their manual action (e.g. scanning a QR code, pasting a secret token). If a dependency is missing, install it. If a service won't start, diagnose and repair. Ask the user for permission when needed, then do the work.

UX Note: Use AskUserQuestion for all user-facing questions.

1. Bootstrap (Node.js + Dependencies)

Run bash setup.sh and parse the status block.

  • If NODE_OK=false → Node.js is missing or too old. Use AskUserQuestion: Would you like me to install Node.js 22? If confirmed:
    • macOS: brew install node@22 (if brew available) or install nvm then nvm install 22
    • Linux: curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x | sudo -E bash - && sudo apt-get install -y nodejs, or nvm
    • After installing Node, re-run bash setup.sh
  • If DEPS_OK=false → Read logs/setup.log. Try: delete node_modules and package-lock.json, re-run bash setup.sh. If native module build fails, install build tools (xcode-select --install on macOS, build-essential on Linux), then retry.
  • If NATIVE_OK=false → better-sqlite3 failed to load. Install build tools and re-run.
  • Record PLATFORM and IS_WSL for later steps.

2. Check Environment

Run npx tsx setup/index.ts --step environment and parse the status block.

  • If HAS_AUTH=true → note that WhatsApp auth exists, offer to skip step 5
  • If HAS_REGISTERED_GROUPS=true → note existing config, offer to skip or reconfigure
  • Record APPLE_CONTAINER and DOCKER values for step 3

3. Container Runtime

3a. Choose runtime

Check the preflight results for APPLE_CONTAINER and DOCKER, and the PLATFORM from step 1.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository mihaipora/zorya (5 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 2,817 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (asks for root, downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). It is 92% identical to setup, differing in 28 lines, and is treated as a copy.
