💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

claw provides a command-line interface to send prompts directly to NanoClaw agent containers, eliminating the need for chat apps and enabling secure, scriptable interactions from the terminal.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Send a prompt to any registered group by name, folder, or JID.
  • Default to the main group when no target is specified.
  • Resume a previous session with a saved session ID.
  • Read prompts from stdin for scripting and automation.
  • List all registered groups to see available targets.
  • Auto-detects container runtime (container or docker) or override with --runtime.
  • Print the agent's response to stdout and the session ID to stderr.
  • Verbose mode shows the command, redacted payload, and exit code for debugging.

Quick Start

Install NanoClaw, ensure the claw script is on your PATH, and run claw to start sending prompts to your agent containers.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run AI agent prompts from the CLI in isolated containers?

To run AI agent prompts from the CLI, use claw to send direct terminal prompts to NanoClaw agent containers. It enables secure, scriptable interactions by routing inputs through isolated container runtimes instead of chat apps.

Can I automate batch prompts and resume sessions for containerized agents?

Yes, you can automate batch prompts by reading from stdin and resume previous sessions using a saved session ID. The tool outputs the agent's response to stdout and the session ID to stderr for easy scripting.

Does the claw script support Docker and other container runtimes?

Yes, the script supports Docker and other container runtimes. It auto-detects the active runtime between container and docker, or you can manually override the detection using the --runtime flag.

What is the best way to target specific agent groups from the terminal?

The best way to target specific agent groups is by specifying the group by name, folder, or JID. If no target is specified, it defaults to the main group, and you can list all registered groups to see options.

How do I debug CLI commands sent to NanoClaw agent containers?

To debug CLI commands sent to NanoClaw agent containers, use verbose mode. This mode displays the exact command, a redacted payload to protect sensitive information, and the final exit code for troubleshooting.
