SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Managing persistent, task-focused AI sessions without external dependencies is difficult when you need session history, branching, and search across conversations. This Skill provides operational guidance for running and extending NanoClaw v2, a markdown-backed REPL built on claude -p. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Persistent Sessions: Maintain markdown-backed sessions with history compaction via /compact and metrics via /metrics. - Session Management: Switch models with /model, load skills dynamically with /load, and branch sessions with /branch before high-risk changes. - Search & Export: Search across sessions with /search and export to md, json, or txt with /export for sharing or archival. - Use Case: Before making a risky refactor in a long-running session, branch the session, complete the work, compact the history, and export the result as markdown for your team. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to start a NanoClaw session, branch before a risky change, and export the session to markdown when finished.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage persistent AI sessions with NanoClaw REPL?▼

NanoClaw stores sessions as markdown files, giving you persistent history without a database. Use /compact to condense history after milestones and /metrics to review session statistics.

How to branch and search sessions in a claude -p REPL?▼

Use /branch to fork the current session before high-risk changes, and /search to run cross-session search across your markdown-backed history. This lets you recover prior context without scrolling through logs.

Does NanoClaw require external dependencies to run?▼

No, NanoClaw v2 is built with zero external runtime dependencies on top of claude -p. Its extension rules explicitly require keeping handlers deterministic, local, and dependency-free.

Can I export NanoClaw sessions to other formats?▼

Yes, the /export command converts sessions to markdown, JSON, or plain text. Export before sharing or archiving sessions to preserve a portable record.

What are the limitations of extending NanoClaw?▼

Extensions must preserve markdown-as-database compatibility and keep command handlers deterministic and local. You cannot introduce external runtime dependencies without breaking the tool's core design constraints.
