Init First Agent skill

init-first-agentnanocoai/nanoclaw.claude/skills/init-first-agent/SKILL.md

Walk the operator through wiring the first NanoClaw agent to a DM channel — resolve the operator's channel identity, select or create the agent, and trigger a welcome DM via the normal delivery path. Use after channel credentials are configured and the service is running.

Install the Init First Agent skill

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

npx skills add https://github.com/nanocoai/nanoclaw --skill init-first-agent

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/init-first-agent ~/.claude/skills/init-first-agent

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, init-first-agent costs about 24× 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).
