add-ollama-provider

add-ollama-provider is a skill for Claude Code from nanocoai/nanoclaw. It costs 88 tokens per session (1,637 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A configuration that makes an agent group use a local Ollama model instead of Anthropic's hosted API. Ollama is software that runs language models on your own computer.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to route an existing agent group to a selected local model. It sets the container environment and network restrictions needed for that connection.
Why use it?
It allows the agent to run locally, which can avoid some hosted API use and lets you experiment with models installed on your machine. Ollama must already be running and have a model downloaded.

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 C, and why

add-ollama-provider scanned grade C 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 12d 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.

If it shows `chmod 755`, change it to `chmod 777` so any uid can write there.

Add Ollama Provider

Routes an agent group to a local Ollama instance instead of the Anthropic API. See docs/ollama.md for how this works and the tradeoffs involved.

Prerequisites

  1. Ollama is installed and running on the host — verify: curl -s http://localhost:11434/api/tags
  2. A model is pulled — e.g. ollama pull gemma4 or ollama pull qwen3-coder
  3. The agent group already exists — run /init-first-agent first if needed

1. Check source support

The feature requires two fields in ContainerConfig (env and blockedHosts) and their corresponding wiring in container-runner.ts. Check if already present:

grep -c 'blockedHosts' src/container-config.ts src/container-runner.ts

If either count is 0, apply the changes in steps 1a and 1b. Otherwise skip to step 2.

1a. Extend ContainerConfig

In src/container-config.ts, add to the ContainerConfig interface:

env?: Record<string, string>;
blockedHosts?: string[];

And in readContainerConfig, add inside the returned object:

env: raw.env,
blockedHosts: raw.blockedHosts,

1b. Wire into container-runner

In src/container-runner.ts, after the NANOCLAW_MCP_SERVERS block, add:

// Per-agent-group env overrides — applied last to win over OneCLI values.
if (containerConfig.env) {
  for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(containerConfig.env)) {
    args.push('-e', `${key}=${value}`);
  }
}

// Blocked hosts: resolve to 0.0.0.0 so they are unreachable inside the container.
if (containerConfig.blockedHosts) {
  for (const host of containerConfig.blockedHosts) {
    args.push('--add-host', `${host}:0.0.0.0`);
  }
}

1c. Fix home directory permissions (if not already done)

The container may run as your host uid (not uid 1000). Check the Dockerfile:

grep 'chmod.*home/node' container/Dockerfile

If it shows chmod 755, change it to chmod 777 so any uid can write there. Then rebuild the container image: ./container/build.sh

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.

add-ollama-provider is a skill published in the GitHub repository nanocoai/nanoclaw (30,736 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 88 tokens to every session and 1,637 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 3 findings (asks for root, reads agent configuration directories, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
