# NanoClaw Customization
This skill helps users add capabilities or modify behavior. Use AskUserQuestion to understand what they want before making changes.
## Workflow
1. **Understand the request** - Ask clarifying questions
2. **Plan the changes** - Identify files to modify
3. **Implement** - Make changes directly to the code
4. **Test guidance** - Tell user how to verify
## Key Files
| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `src/config.py` | Assistant name, trigger pattern, settings |
| `src/router.py` | Message routing, polling, agent invocation |
| `src/scheduler_worker.py` | Scheduled task execution |
| `src/commands.py` | Command handlers |
| `.mcp.json` | MCP server configuration |
| `groups/CLAUDE.md` | Global memory/persona |
## Common Customization Patterns
### Adding a New Input Channel (e.g., Telegram, Slack, Email)
Questions to ask:
- Which channel? (Telegram, Slack, Discord, email, SMS, etc.)
- Same trigger word or different?
- Same memory hierarchy or separate?
- Should messages from this channel go to existing groups or new ones?
Implementation pattern:
1. Find/add MCP server for the channel to `.mcp.json`
2. Add polling function in `router.py` (similar to `get_new_messages()`)
3. Add to main loop to poll both sources
4. Ensure responses route back to correct channel
### Adding a New MCP Integration
Questions to ask:
- What service? (Calendar, Notion, database, etc.)
- What operations needed? (read, write, both)
- Which groups should have access?
Implementation:
1. Add MCP server config to `.mcp.json`
2. Add tools to `allowed_tools` in `router.py`
3. Document in `groups/CLAUDE.md`
### Changing Assistant Behavior
Questions to ask:
- What aspect? (name, trigger, persona, response style)
- Apply to all groups or specific ones?
Simple changes → edit `src/config.py`
Persona changes → edit `groups/CLAUDE.md`
Per-group behavior → edit specific group's `CLAUDE.md`
### Adding New Commands
Questions to ask:
- What should the command do?
- Available in all groups or main only?
- Does it need new MCP tools?
Implementation:
1. Add handler function in `src/commands.py`
2. Claude will recognize natural language and call the function
### Changing Deployment
Questions to ask:
- Target platform? (Linux server, Docker, different Mac)
- Service manager? (systemd, Docker, supervisord)
Implementation:
1. Create appropriate service files
2. Update paths in config
3. Provide setup instructions
## After Changes
Always tell the user:
```bash
# Restart to apply changes
launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.nanoclaw.router.plist
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.nanoclaw.router.plist
```
## Example Interaction
User: "Add Telegram as an input channel"
1. Ask: "Should Telegram use the same @Andy trigger, or a different one?"
2. Ask: "Should Telegram messages create separate conversation contexts, or share with WhatsApp groups?"
3. Find Telegram MCP (e.g., telegram-mcp)
4. Add polling for Telegram in router.py
5. Update .mcp.json
6. Tell user how to authenticate and test
