SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Initial NanoClaw deployment and configuration require multiple manual steps across dependencies, authentication, and containers. This Skill automates the entire onboarding process so new users can get a working environment quickly.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated dependency installation and container setup: Installs npm packages, builds the agent container, and prepares the runtime.
  • WhatsApp authentication and channel configuration: Guides and executes the setup required for linking WhatsApp and registering the main admin channel.
  • Environment readiness for first run: Ensures authentication, runtime availability, and a ready-to-use boilerplate so you can start development immediately.

Quick Start

Run the setup skill to initialize NanoClaw on a new environment. The assistant will guide you through: choosing a container runtime, authenticating WhatsApp, and registering your main channel.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate NanoClaw setup and onboarding?

Automating NanoClaw setup requires running the setup skill to install dependencies, build the agent container, configure authentication, and register your main channel. It handles the entire onboarding process automatically across supported container runtimes.

What do I need to configure before deploying a WhatsApp container agent?

Configuring a WhatsApp container agent requires Node.js tooling (npm), a container runtime like macOS Apple Container or Docker, and basic shell access. The setup process handles authentication and channel registration once these prerequisites are met.

Can I use Docker or macOS Apple Container for NanoClaw deployment?

NanoClaw deployment supports both Docker and macOS Apple Container runtimes. The setup skill applies container build and authentication steps across either runtime to establish a working environment for first-time setup or reconfiguration.

How does WhatsApp authentication work during container setup?

WhatsApp authentication during container setup is guided and executed by the setup skill. It configures the required authentication steps for linking WhatsApp and registers the main admin channel to ensure environment readiness for first run.

What steps are involved in NanoClaw dependency installation and runtime preparation?

NanoClaw dependency installation includes installing npm packages, building the agent container, and preparing the runtime environment. The setup skill automates these steps to ensure authentication and runtime availability for immediate development.

Why does NanoClaw onboarding require multiple manual steps without automation?

NanoClaw onboarding does not require manual steps when using the setup skill. It automates the entire process across dependencies, authentication, and containers, reducing initial deployment configuration to a single guided operation for a ready-to-use environment.
