Core features.

Feature cards focus on what the tool helps users do, not generated setup commands.

An AI assistant that runs agents securely in their own containers.

Claude agents run in their own Linux containers with filesystem isolation, not merely behind permission checks.

nanoclaw.sh walks you from a fresh machine to a named agent you can message.

It installs Node, pnpm, and Docker if missing, registers your Anthropic credential with OneCLI, builds the agent container, and pairs your first channel (Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, or a local CLI).

If a step fails, Claude Code is invoked automatically to diagnose and resume from where it broke.

Run the script directly, not from inside a Claude session — the deterministic side needs interactive prompts and real shell I/O for Node/pnpm bootstrap, Docker, OneCLI, and the container build.

See docs/v1-to-v2-changes.md for what's different and docs/migration-dev.md for development notes.

If you want to understand the full NanoClaw codebase, just ask Claude Code to walk you through it.
