NanoClaw

NanoClaw extends your AI assistant with the ability to a lightweight alternative to OpenClaw that runs in containers for security. Connects to WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Gmail and other messaging apps, features persistent memory, scheduled jobs, and runs directly on Anthropic's Agents SDK. Rather than leaving your conversation to handle this manually, you can ask your Claude Code agent directly — and it will take care of the task end-to-end, using NanoClaw as its underlying capability.

NanoClaw works across Claude Code, Anthropic SDK through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — an open standard that lets AI clients share tools and skills without lock-in. This makes it especially practical for teams and individuals working with messaging and whatsapp. Because MCP is platform-agnostic by design, you install NanoClaw once and it becomes available across all your AI clients. Whether you're working in Claude Code for focused sessions or Anthropic SDK for integrated workflows, the skill behaves consistently.

NanoClaw installs like any other MCP skill: drop the folder into `~/.claude/skills/nanoclaw/` for global access, or `.claude/skills/nanoclaw/` to keep it scoped to one project. After a quick restart of Claude Code, you can trigger it explicitly with `/nanoclaw`, or let the AI decide when it's the right tool for your request.

NanoClaw is a community-contributed AI productivity skill available through DiscoverAISkills. The source code is open on GitHub — you can inspect it, contribute fixes, or fork it to adapt the skill for your specific setup. Like all skills on DiscoverAISkills, it is free to install and use. The broader AI skills ecosystem continues to expand as developers contribute new capabilities across categories like developer tools, data analysis, writing, automation, and more.
