Quick brief

Use Nanobot when an operator wants a small personal-agent runtime that can be installed locally, connected to model providers and MCP tools, and run through terminal, WebUI, chat channels, or gateway-style deployment. The workflow is to install the nanobot-ai package, run onboarding, configure provider credentials and tool permissions, then start the agent loop or gateway for the target workspace.

How it works

What this skill actually does

Invoke this instead of building a custom personal-agent shell when the goal is to stand up a readable, hackable agent with memory, MCP integration, search, chat surfaces, and long-running objectives. The scope boundary is operating Nanobot as its own lightweight agent runtime; it is not a general OpenClaw plugin, model provider, or hosted assistant product.

Inputs are Python 3.11+, provider API keys or local model endpoints, MCP server definitions, optional search/chat credentials, and a target workspace. Outputs are a configured Nanobot agent, local runtime state, tool/plugin connections, and an operational path for terminal, WebUI, channel, or gateway use.
