A lightweight alternative to OpenClaw that runs in containers for security. Connects to WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Gmail and other messaging apps,, has memory, scheduled jobs, and runs directly on Anthropic's Agents SDK
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.
Transactionally update a customized NanoClaw checkout from official upstream without exposing live mounted source, with fork-safe skill refresh, mutable-state snapshots, migration gates, exact-code upgrade markers, detected service restart, health verification, and automatic local rollback. Use for routine merge…
Refresh installed NanoClaw channel and provider payloads from their registry branches with fork-safe remote resolution and a blocking structured result. Use after updating NanoClaw or whenever installed channel/provider code may be stale.
Browse the web for any task — research topics, read articles, interact with web apps, fill forms, take screenshots, extract data, and test web pages. Use whenever a browser would be useful, not just when the user explicitly asks.
Pro frontend engineering discipline. Enforces build-test-verify workflow for every web project. Never declare done until the site is built, tested, responsive, accessible, and visually verified in a real browser. Pairs with a deployment skill such as vercel-cli, where one is installed.
OneCLI Gateway: transparent HTTPS proxy that injects stored credentials into outbound calls. You MUST use this skill when the user asks you to read emails, check calendar, access GitHub repos, create issues, check Stripe payments, or interact with ANY external service or API. Do NOT use browser extensions or OAuth CLI…
Agent-to-agent Slack rooms — a group DM (MPIM) holding a human plus two or more NanoClaw sibling bots, where each bot hears the room over its own Socket Mode connection. Registers the admission policy on the Slack channel's bot-inbound guard so bot-authored inbound is admitted only for rooms allowlisted in…
Let an existing Slack agent create new agents that arrive as their own Slack bots — provisioned app, operator DM, and a shared three-way room, hot-started without a host restart.
Standing context for Slack sibling agents — one room per team, creator-posted introductions, bot-to-bot hop discipline. Ships as instructions.md composed into the group's CLAUDE.md at spawn; there is no workflow to invoke.
Customize your own agent — add capabilities, install packages, add MCP servers, edit code or CLAUDE.md. Use when the user asks you to add a feature, install a tool, or modify how you work. For non-trivial code changes, delegate to a builder agent via createagent.
Introduce yourself to a newly connected channel. Triggered automatically when a channel is first wired. Send a friendly greeting and brief overview of what you can do.
