What problem does it solve?
This Skill automates the lengthy, error-prone initial setup of the NanoClaw assistant so users can quickly get a secure, containerized Claude instance running without manual debugging of dependencies, runtimes, authentication, or services.
Core Features & Use Cases
- End-to-end bootstrap: Runs the bootstrap script, installs Node and dependencies when missing, and retries failed native builds.
- Container runtime management: Detects and chooses between Docker and Apple Container, performs conversion checks, installs or starts runtimes, builds images, and diagnoses build/test failures.
- Authentication and channel registration: Guides WhatsApp authentication choices, configures triggers and channel types, mounts allowlists, and registers the main channel.
- Service orchestration and verification: Starts the background service, handles systemd/launchctl edge cases, applies fixes like setfacl when needed, and verifies overall system health.
Quick Start
Run the setup skill to install dependencies, authenticate WhatsApp, select and prepare the container runtime, register your main channel, and start the NanoClaw services.
