SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Managing long-running AI coding sessions often leads to lost context, unorganized history, and no way to branch or recover work. This Skill provides operational guidance for NanoClaw v2, a session-aware REPL that persists conversations as markdown files. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Persistent Sessions: Markdown-backed session storage with branching via /branch and cross-session search via /search. - Session Lifecycle Management: Switch models with /model, load skills dynamically with /load, compact history with /compact, and export to md/json/txt with /export. - Use Case: Before attempting a risky refactor, branch your current session, then compact history after hitting a milestone and export the session as markdown for archival or sharing with teammates. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to start a NanoClaw session, branch it before a risky change, and export the result as markdown.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage persistent AI coding sessions with NanoClaw?▼

NanoClaw stores sessions as markdown files, so history persists across runs. Use /branch to fork a session before risky changes, /compact to shrink history after milestones, and /export to save sessions as md, json, or txt.

How to switch models or load skills in a NanoClaw REPL session?▼

Use the /model command to switch the underlying model mid-session and /load to dynamically load a skill into the active session. Both commands run locally without restarting the REPL.

Does NanoClaw require external dependencies to run?▼

No. NanoClaw v2 is built on claude -p with zero external runtime dependencies, and its extension rules require keeping it that way. Sessions are stored as plain markdown files acting as the database.

Can I search across multiple NanoClaw sessions?▼

Yes. The /search command performs cross-session search over the markdown-backed session store, letting you find prior conversations without manually opening files.

What are the rules for extending NanoClaw with new commands?▼

Extensions must keep zero external runtime dependencies, preserve markdown-as-database compatibility, and keep command handlers deterministic and local. Session metrics are available via /metrics to monitor behavior.
