migrate-from-openclaw

migrate-from-openclaw is a skill for Claude Code from nanocoai/nanoclaw. It costs 71 tokens per session (5,863 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided process for moving an existing OpenClaw installation into NanoClaw v2. OpenClaw is the older system being replaced or brought into the new setup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review and move OpenClaw identity details, channel credentials, scheduled tasks, skills, workspace instructions, and other configuration into NanoClaw v2.
Why use it?
It helps decide what to transfer instead of copying unknown settings and credentials without explanation. It shows proposed changes first and masks credential values when displaying them.

About the project

NanoClaw is an AI assistant that runs agents inside separate Linux containers, isolating their files and execution environments. People use it to connect agents to messaging services and run assistants with memory and scheduled jobs. The catalogue contains skills and instructions for extending or operating NanoClaw.

    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

    Tool calls are chained to bypass individual safety checks or escalate capabilities beyond what any single tool call would allow.
    Fix: Limit tool chaining depth and validate the output of each tool before passing it to the next. Require explicit user approval for multi-step chains.

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 A, and why

migrate-from-openclaw scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/discover-openclaw.ts, scripts/extract-channel-credentials.ts, scripts/transform.test.ts, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Migrate from OpenClaw

Guide the user through migrating their OpenClaw installation into NanoClaw v2. This is a conversation, not a batch job. Read OpenClaw state, discuss it with the user, decide together what to bring over and where it belongs in v2's entity model, and show proposed changes before applying.

Principle: Never silently copy data. Read it, explain it, place it, then apply. Credentials are masked when displayed (first 4 + ... + last 4). Make judgment calls about what's core vs. reference material.

UX: Use AskUserQuestion for multiple-choice only. Use plain text for free-form input. Don't dump raw data — summarize and explain conversationally.

What this skill changes (conformance)

This skill drives existing NanoClaw entry points (setup/index.ts --step register, scripts/init-first-agent.ts, the onecli CLI) and copies a few files in (workspace markdown, OpenClaw skills, and its own transform module + test). It makes no code-level reach-in into core. Its integration assumptions about v2 are guarded by scripts/transform.test.ts, which is copied into the project's scripts/ test tree on apply (Phase 8) so vitest runs it against the composed install. REMOVE.md reverses every file the skill copies.

v2 architecture the migration targets

OpenClaw and NanoClaw v2 differ structurally. Keep these in mind throughout:

  • Entity model. v2's central DB (data/v2.db) holds users, user_roles, agent_groups, messaging_groups, and the messaging_group_agents wiring between them. There is no store/messages.db and no scheduled_tasks table.
  • Container isolation. Each agent group runs in its own Linux container. An OpenClaw "agent" maps to a v2 agent group (workspace + memory + CLAUDE.md); an OpenClaw chat/group maps to a v2 messaging group; the wiring row connects them.
  • Standing instructions vs memory. Per-group role, personality, and behavior live in groups/<folder>/instructions.prepend.md. Durable facts live under groups/<folder>/memory/. The provider project document is composed at spawn and must not be edited.
  • Credentials. Container-facing API credentials (Anthropic, OpenAI, …) are held in the OneCLI Agent Vault and injected per request — never in container env vars. Host-side channel tokens (Telegram/Discord/Slack bot tokens) stay in .env; the NanoClaw host process reads them to connect to the platform.
  • Access control. Per messaging group unknown_sender_policy plus user_roles (owner/admin) and agent_group_members — not a JSON allowlist file.
  • Scheduled tasks. A task is a messages_in row (kind='task') in a session's inbound.db, carrying a cron recurrence and a process_after timestamp. The agent creates them via its schedule_task MCP tool.

Changes

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.
