nano---Openclaw: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/update-skills/SKILL.md

update-skills is a skill for Claude Code from ShinyStar307/nano---Openclaw. It costs 16 tokens per session (1,197 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of update-skills, MIT.

A Git-based workflow for checking installed skill branches for newer commits from their upstream repository and applying selected updates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find updates for already-installed skills, choose which ones to update, merge their branches, resolve conflicts, and run build and test checks.
Why use it?
It prevents installed skills from falling behind while requiring a clean working folder and preserving local changes through Git operations.

This is ShinyStar307/nano---Openclaw's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on nano---Openclaw itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything nano---Openclaw configures →

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

update-skills scanned grade A with 0 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 10d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

About

Skills are distributed as git branches (skill/*). When you install a skill, you merge its branch into your repo. This skill checks upstream for newer commits on those skill branches and helps you update.

Run /update-skills in Claude Code.

How it works

Preflight: checks for clean working tree and upstream remote.

Detection: fetches upstream, lists all upstream/skill/* branches, determines which ones you've previously merged (via merge-base), and checks if any have new commits.

Selection: presents a list of skills with available updates. You pick which to update.

Update: merges each selected skill branch, resolves conflicts if any, then validates with build + test.


Goal

Help users update their installed skill branches from upstream without losing local customizations.

Operating principles

  • Never proceed with a dirty working tree.
  • Only offer updates for skills the user has already merged (installed).
  • Use git-native operations. Do not manually rewrite files except conflict markers.
  • Keep token usage low: rely on git commands, only open files with actual conflicts.

Step 0: Preflight

Run:

  • git status --porcelain

If output is non-empty:

  • Tell the user to commit or stash first, then stop.

Check remotes:

  • git remote -v

If upstream is missing:

  • Ask the user for the upstream repo URL (default: https://github.com/qwibitai/nanoclaw.git).
  • git remote add upstream <url>

Fetch:

  • git fetch upstream --prune

Step 1: Detect installed skills with available updates

List all upstream skill branches:

  • git branch -r --list 'upstream/skill/*'

For each upstream/skill/<name>:

  1. Check if the user has merged this skill branch before:
    • git merge-base --is-ancestor upstream/skill/<name>~1 HEAD — if this succeeds (exit 0) for any ancestor commit of the skill branch, the user has merged it at some point. A simpler check: git log --oneline --merges --grep="skill/<name>" HEAD to see if there's a merge commit referencing this branch.
    • Alternative: MERGE_BASE=$(git merge-base HEAD upstream/skill/<name>) — if the merge base is NOT the initial commit and the merge base includes commits unique to the skill branch, it has been merged.
    • Simplest reliable check: compare git merge-base HEAD upstream/skill/<name> with git merge-base HEAD upstream/main. If the skill merge-base is strictly ahead of (or different from) the main merge-base, the user has merged this skill.
  2. Check if there are new commits on the skill branch not yet in HEAD:
    • git log --oneline HEAD..upstream/skill/<name>
    • If this produces output, there are updates available.

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.
