Agent Skill

Add Dial Tool skill

add-dial-toolnanocoai/nanoclaw.claude/skills/add-dial-tool/SKILL.md

Give chosen NanoClaw agents a real phone number as a container tool — the `dial` CLI baked into the agent image plus OneCLI credential injection for api.getdial.ai, scoped per agent, so the agents you pick can send SMS, place AI voice calls, and receive verification codes from inside the sandbox. Independent of the Dial channel; idempotent; re-run to change which agents may use it. Use when the user wants agents to text, call, or run `dial …` from a chat, without wiring Dial as a messaging channel.

Skills CLI (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others)

npx skills add https://github.com/nanocoai/nanoclaw --skill add-dial-tool

Claude Code, by hand (all projects)

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/nanocoai/nanoclaw.git /tmp/nanoclaw
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/nanoclaw/.claude/skills/add-dial-tool ~/.claude/skills/add-dial-tool

For one project only, copy the folder into .claude/skills/ in that project instead. The agent picks it up when a task matches its description.

Until it is used, add-dial-tool costs about 12× less than the median MCP server we measured (1,362 tokens on every turn). Installing all 64 skills from nanocoai/nanoclaw would load 3,369 tokens of descriptions. Skills vs MCP study

  1. add-anydocnanocoai/nanoclaw

    Add local office-document-to-Markdown conversion to NanoClaw agent containers with the pinned Firecrawl AnyDoc CLI. Use when agents need to read attached Word, PowerPoint, Excel, OpenDocument, RTF, EPUB, CSV, or text-based PDF files without uploading them to a hosted parser.

  2. add-atomic-chat-toolnanocoai/nanoclaw

    Add Atomic Chat MCP server so the container agent can call local models served by the Atomic Chat desktop app via its OpenAI-compatible API.

  3. add-clidashnanocoai/nanoclaw

    Add clidash — a zero-dependency, read-only web dashboard that derives its tabs and tables at runtime from any CLI that lists resources as JSON. Ships pre-wired for NanoClaw's ncl CLI (agent groups, sessions, channels, users, roles), plus message-activity charts, a log tail, and a read-only file viewer for group skills/CLAUDE.md/profiles.

  4. add-codexnanocoai/nanoclaw

    Use Codex (OpenAI's codex app-server) as a full agent provider — planning, tool orchestration, MCP tools, server-side history, session resume — alongside or instead of Claude. ChatGPT subscription or OpenAI API key, vault-only via the selected gateway. Per-group via `ncl groups config update --provider codex`. Distinct from using OpenAI as an MCP tool (where Claude remains the planner).

  5. add-cursornanocoai/nanoclaw

    Use Cursor (local Agent SDK) as a full agent provider — planning, tool orchestration, MCP tools, session resume — alongside or instead of Claude. Cursor-account sign-in or API key, held by the credential gateway. Per-group via `ncl groups config update --provider cursor`. Distinct from using Cursor as a cloud agent (those run on Cursor VMs and are not this provider).
