Install the manage-mounts skill
A skill is a folder. Copy it into your agent's skills folder and the agent loads it when the task matches its description.
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/nanocoai/nanoclaw.git /tmp/nanoclaw mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills cp -r /tmp/nanoclaw/.claude/skills/manage-mounts ~/.claude/skills/manage-mounts
In the Claude apps, zip the folder and upload it from the Skills settings. The folder on GitHub

Manage Mounts
Configure which host directories NanoClaw agent containers can access. The mount allowlist lives at ~/.config/nanoclaw/mount-allowlist.json.
Show Current Config
cat ~/.config/nanoclaw/mount-allowlist.json 2>/dev/null || echo "No mount allowlist configured"Show the current config to the user in a readable format: which directories are allowed, and whether each is read-only or read-write.
Add Directories
Ask which directories the user wants agents to access. For each path:
- Validate the path exists
- Ask if it should be read-write (allowReadWrite: true) or read-only (allowReadWrite: false, the safer default)
Build the JSON config and write it:
pnpm exec tsx setup/index.ts --step mounts --force -- --json '{"allowedRoots":[{"path":"/path/to/dir","allowReadWrite":true}],"blockedPatterns":[]}'Use --force to overwrite the existing config.
Remove Directories
Read the current config, show it, ask which entry to remove, then write the updated config through the same write path (build the trimmed JSON and pass it to --step mounts --force -- --json):
pnpm exec tsx setup/index.ts --step mounts --force -- --json '{"allowedRoots":[],"blockedPatterns":[]}'Reset to Empty
pnpm exec tsx setup/index.ts --step mounts --force -- --emptyAfter Changes
The allowlist is read fresh when a container is spawned, so new mounts apply to newly spawned containers automatically — no service restart needed.
To apply the new config to a group that already has a running container, restart just that group:
ncl groups restart --id <group-id>More skills from nanocoai/nanoclaw
- Aadd-anydocAdd 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.
- Aadd-atomic-chat-toolAdd Atomic Chat MCP server so the container agent can call local models served by the Atomic Chat desktop app via its OpenAI-compatible API.
- Fadd-clidashAdd 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.
- Aadd-codexUse 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).
- Aadd-dashboardAdd a monitoring dashboard to NanoClaw. Installs @nanoco/nanoclaw-dashboard and a pusher that sends periodic JSON snapshots.
- Aadd-deltachatAdd DeltaChat channel integration via @deltachat/stdio-rpc-server. Native adapter — no Chat SDK bridge. Email-based messaging with end-to-end encryption.
- Cadd-dialAdd Dial channel integration — a real phone number for SMS and AI voice calls via the Dial platform (getdial.ai). Native adapter — no Chat SDK bridge.
- Aadd-dial-numberAdd another phone number to an existing Dial channel — a second (or third) public line for the agent, so one NanoClaw install answers SMS and AI voice calls on multiple numbers. Use when Dial is already installed and the operator wants an additional number (e.g. a personal line plus a support line). Requires the Dial channel to already be installed (see /add-dial).
- Aadd-dial-toolGive 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.
- Aadd-discordAdd Discord bot channel integration via Chat SDK.
- Aadd-emacsAdd Emacs as a channel. Opens an interactive chat buffer and org-mode integration so you can talk to NanoClaw from within Emacs (Doom, Spacemacs, or vanilla). Local HTTP bridge — no bot token or external service needed.
- Aadd-gchatAdd Google Chat channel integration via Chat SDK.
