It operates and extends NanoClaw, a zero-dependency session-aware REPL with persistent markdown-backed sessions and slash commands for model switching, skill loading, session branching, cross-session search, history compaction, and export.

What are the extension rules?

Keep zero external runtime dependencies, preserve markdown-as-database compatibility, and keep command handlers deterministic and local.

NanoClaw REPL

SkillSearch

nanoclaw-repl is a skill for operating and extending NanoClaw, a zero-dependency session-aware REPL that keeps chat sessions as markdown files. It lets an agent switch models, load skills, branch sessions, search across sessions, compact history, and export transcripts. Use it when running or extending scripts/claw.js, or when resuming, branching, compacting, searching, or exporting a NanoClaw session.

Instructions available. Your AI can read the instructions. Execution depends on the setup they require.

Account requirements not reviewed. Check the skill instructions before use; ahel provides instructions and does not run this skill.

Have the NanoClaw script scripts/claw.js available in the project.

Then ask your AI: use the NanoClaw REPL skill

What your AI can do with it

Keep persistent markdown-backed sessions
Switch models with /model
Load skills dynamically with /load
Branch sessions with /branch
Search across sessions with /search
Compact history with /compact and export with /export

Getting started

Have the NanoClaw script scripts/claw.js available in the project.
Start a session and keep it task-focused.
Use /branch before high-risk changes.
Use /compact after major milestones.
Use /export before sharing or archival.
