Skills catalog

NanoClaw ships two kinds of skills:

Host-side workspace skills (.claude/skills/) — invoked from your coding harness in your NanoClaw checkout. They install channels, providers, and tools, or operate and maintain your install. 48 skills total: 17 channel installs, 3 provider installs, 11 tool installs, and 17 operational skills.
Container skills (container/skills/) — 6 skills mounted into every agent container at /app/skills. The agent loads them at runtime; you don’t invoke them yourself.

The /name form used throughout this page is Claude Code’s. Codex invokes the same skills as $name and does not accept /name; OpenCode loads them through its own skill tool, with no typed form. The skill files are the same ones in every case. A few skills still phrase their steps in Claude Code’s tool vocabulary, which other harnesses follow best-effort.

For how skills work and how to write your own, see Extending NanoClaw.

Channel installs

Each skill wires up one messaging channel. See Channels for the full setup guides.

Skill	What it does
`/add-deltachat`	Adds the Delta Chat channel via `@deltachat/stdio-rpc-server` — native adapter, email-based messaging with end-to-end encryption
`/add-discord`	Adds the Discord bot channel via Chat SDK
`/add-emacs`	Adds Emacs as a channel — interactive chat buffer and org-mode integration over a local HTTP bridge, no bot token needed
`/add-gchat`	Adds the Google Chat channel via Chat SDK
`/add-github`	Adds the GitHub channel via Chat SDK — PR and issue comment threads as conversations
`/add-imessage`	Adds the iMessage channel via Chat SDK — local (macOS) or remote (Photon API) mode
`/add-linear`	Adds the Linear channel via Chat SDK — issue comment threads as conversations
`/add-matrix`	Adds the Matrix channel via Chat SDK — works with any homeserver
`/add-resend`	Adds the Resend email channel via Chat SDK
`/add-signal`	Adds the Signal channel via signal-cli TCP daemon — native adapter, no Chat SDK bridge
`/add-slack`	Adds the Slack channel via Chat SDK
`/add-teams`	Adds the Microsoft Teams channel via Chat SDK
`/add-telegram`	Adds the Telegram channel via Chat SDK
`/add-webex`	Adds the Webex channel via Chat SDK
`/add-wechat`	Adds the WeChat personal channel via Tencent’s official iLink Bot API — long-polling and QR scan, no webhook
`/add-whatsapp`	Adds the WhatsApp channel via native Baileys adapter — QR code or pairing code authentication
`/add-whatsapp-cloud`	Adds the WhatsApp Business Cloud API channel via Chat SDK — official Meta API

Provider installs

Each skill swaps the agent runtime for a different provider. See Providers.

Skill	What it does
`/add-codex`	Uses Codex (CLI + AppServer) as the full agent provider in place of the Claude Agent SDK — ChatGPT subscription or `OPENAI_API_KEY`, per-group via `agent_provider`
`/add-ollama-provider`	Routes an agent group to a local Ollama model instead of the Anthropic API — env var overrides and a model setting, no provider code changes
`/add-opencode`	Uses OpenCode as an agent provider (`AGENT_PROVIDER=opencode`) — OpenRouter, OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek, and more via OpenCode config

Tool installs

Each skill adds a capability or MCP tool to your agents. See Tools.

Skill	What it does
`/add-atomic-chat-tool`	Adds the Atomic Chat MCP server so agents can call local models served by the Atomic Chat desktop app via its OpenAI-compatible API
`/add-clidash`	Adds clidash — a zero-dependency, read-only web dashboard that derives its tabs and tables at runtime from any CLI that lists resources as JSON, pre-wired for NanoClaw’s `ncl` CLI
`/add-dashboard`	Adds a monitoring dashboard — installs `@nanoco/nanoclaw-dashboard` and a pusher that sends periodic JSON snapshots
`/add-gcal-tool`	Adds Google Calendar as an MCP tool (list calendars, list/search/create events, free/busy) using OneCLI-managed OAuth — no raw credentials reach the container
`/add-gmail-tool`	Adds Gmail as an MCP tool (read, search, send, label, draft) using OneCLI-managed OAuth — tokens injected at request time
`/add-karpathy-llm-wiki`	Adds a persistent wiki knowledge base to a group, based on Karpathy’s LLM Wiki pattern
`/add-macos-statusbar`	Adds a macOS menu bar status indicator with Start, Stop, and Restart controls (macOS only)
`/add-mnemon`	Adds persistent graph-based memory via mnemon — agents recall past context before responding and remember insights after each turn
`/add-ollama-tool`	Adds the Ollama MCP server so agents can call local models and optionally manage the Ollama model library
`/add-rtk`	Installs the rtk token-compression proxy into agent containers — routes Bash tool calls through rtk for 60–90% token savings on dev commands
`/add-vercel`	Adds Vercel deployment capability — installs the Vercel CLI in agent containers with OneCLI credential injection for `api.vercel.com`

Operational skills

Setup, maintenance, migration, and day-to-day administration of your install.

Skill	What it does
`/customize`	Adds new capabilities or modifies NanoClaw behavior — interactive skill that asks questions to understand what you want
`/debug`	Debugs container agent issues — logs, session DBs, mounts, authentication problems, and common failures
`/get-qodo-rules`	Loads org- and repo-level coding rules from Qodo before code tasks begin, so generation follows team standards
`/init-first-agent`	Walks you through creating the first agent for a DM channel — resolves your channel identity, wires the DM group, and triggers a welcome DM
`/init-onecli`	Installs and initializes OneCLI Agent Vault, migrating existing `.env` credentials to the vault
`/learn`	Distills a reusable skill from a source — a directory, URL, pasted notes, or the work just done in the conversation — or refines an existing one, writing a `.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md` to the project’s skill guidelines. Creates or refines skills; it doesn’t install them from a registry
`/manage-channels`	Wires channels to agent groups, manages isolation levels, and adds new channel groups
`/manage-mounts`	Configures which host directories agent containers can access — view, add, or remove mount allowlist entries
`/migrate-from-openclaw`	Migrates from OpenClaw to NanoClaw v2 — detects an existing install, extracts identity, credentials, and tasks, then guides interactive migration
`/migrate-from-v1`	Finishes migrating a NanoClaw v1 install into v2 after `migrate-v2.sh` — seeds the owner, reconciles container configs, helps port custom v1 code
`/migrate-memory`	Carries an agent group’s memory across a provider switch (e.g. Claude ↔ Codex) — run after `ncl groups config update --provider`; reads the source provider’s memory store, distills it into the target’s, and restarts the group
`/migrate-nanoclaw`	Extracts your customizations from a fork, generates a replayable migration guide, and upgrades to upstream by reapplying them on a clean base
`/qodo-pr-resolver`	Reviews and resolves PR issues with Qodo — AI-powered code review fixes for GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps
`/setup`	Runs initial NanoClaw setup — install, configure, first-time setup
`/update-nanoclaw`	Brings upstream updates into a customized install with preview, selective cherry-pick, and low token usage
`/update-skills`	Re-applies your installed skills to pull their latest code from upstream
`/use-native-credential-proxy`	Opts out of the OneCLI gateway — reads Anthropic credentials from `.env` and injects them into the container’s API requests

Container skills

Mounted into every agent container at /app/skills. The agent picks them up automatically based on context — channel, task, or trigger.

Skill	What it does
`agent-browser`	Browses the web for any task — research, web apps, forms, screenshots, data extraction, page testing
`frontend-engineer`	Enforces a build-test-verify workflow for web projects — never done until built, tested, responsive, accessible, and visually verified
`onecli-gateway`	Transparent HTTPS proxy that injects stored credentials into outbound calls — the agent makes plain HTTP requests and the gateway handles auth
`self-customize`	Lets the agent customize itself — add capabilities, install packages, add MCP servers, edit code or its memory files
`vercel-cli`	Deploys apps to Vercel and manages Vercel projects, domains, and environment variables
`welcome`	Introduces the agent to a newly connected channel — triggered automatically when a channel is first wired

Channel-specific formatting skills (slack-formatting, whatsapp-formatting) are not part of the base image — they live on the channels branch and install alongside their channel via /add-slack and /add-whatsapp.
