+name: add-clidash
+description: Add 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.
+---
+
+# /add-clidash — CLI-derived read-only dashboard
+
+clidash is a small, read-only web dashboard. You point it at any CLI that can
+list resources as JSON (NanoClaw's `ncl`, `docker`, `kubectl`, …) and it builds
+the dashboard at runtime: one tab per resource, a generic table over whatever
+columns the rows have. A new `ncl` resource becomes a new tab and a new column
+becomes a new table column with **zero code changes**.
+
+It ships pre-wired for NanoClaw's `ncl` CLI and adds three NanoClaw-aware
+panels driven entirely by config:
+
+- **Agents overview** — status cards joining groups + sessions + messaging
+  groups + wirings (green <15m / amber <2h / red older).
+- **Activity** — per-session inbound/outbound message totals and a daily series,
+  read directly from the session DBs (`ncl` has no messages resource).
+- **Logs** — last N lines of allowlisted host log files.
+- **Files** — a read-only viewer for group skills, `CLAUDE.md`, and profiles.
+
+## Why it's safe
+
+clidash is **read-only by construction**: the server can only `execFile` the
+argv templates in its config. `{resource}` is the sole substitution and is
+allowlist-validated against the discovered/static resource set before exec —
+never a shell, no free-form input reaches argv. There is no auth; **the network
+is the auth boundary** — it binds `127.0.0.1` by default. Only ever bind a
+private interface (e.g. a tailnet IP), never a public one.
+
+It's distinct from `/add-dashboard` (which pushes JSON snapshots to a separate
+`@nanoco/nanoclaw-dashboard` npm package): clidash has **zero dependencies**, no
+build step, no push pipeline, and no edits to NanoClaw source — it just reads
+`ncl` and the session DBs.
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Copy the tool into place
+
+clidash is fully self-contained — copy the whole directory in:
+
+`tools/` is not a standard NanoClaw directory and `cp -R` won't create it, so
+make it first:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p tools
+cp -R .claude/skills/add-clidash/add/tools/clidash tools/clidash
+```
+
+That is the only file change this skill makes. Nothing in NanoClaw `src/` is
+touched, no dependency is added.
+
+### 2. Create the config
+
+The example config is pre-wired for NanoClaw with paths relative to the repo
+root, so it works as-is when you run clidash from `tools/clidash/`:
+
+```bash
+cd tools/clidash
+cp clidash.config.example.json clidash.config.json
+```
+
+`clidash.config.json` is your local config — add it to `.gitignore` if you
+don't want to commit install-specific paths:
+
+```bash
+echo 'tools/clidash/clidash.config.json' >> ../../.gitignore
+```
+
+The example assumes `ncl` is built at `bin/ncl`. If `bin/ncl` doesn't exist,
+build it first (`pnpm run build`) or point `clis.ncl.bin` at the right path.
+
+### 3. Test
+
+Tests use a stub CLI — no real `ncl` or `docker` needed:
+
+```bash
+npm test
+```
+
+All tests should pass (Node ≥ 22.5, `node:test`, zero dependencies).
+
+### 4. Run and verify
+
+```bash
+node server.js          # serves http://127.0.0.1:4690
+```
+
+In another shell, confirm it's live and that `ncl` discovery worked:
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://127.0.0.1:4690/api/clis | head -c 400      # CLIs + discovered resources
+curl -s http://127.0.0.1:4690/api/r/ncl/groups | head -c 400   # a real resource table
+```
+
+Then open `http://127.0.0.1:4690/` in a browser. You should see the Agents
+overview plus a tab per `ncl` resource.
+
+### 5. (Optional) Run as a service
+
+clidash binds `127.0.0.1` by default. To reach it from other devices, bind a
+private (e.g. tailnet) IP via the `BIND` env var or `bind` in config — never a
+public interface.
+
+```ini
+# ~/.config/systemd/user/clidash.service   (Linux)
+[Unit]
+Description=clidash read-only CLI dashboard
+
+[Service]
+WorkingDirectory=%h/nanoclaw/tools/clidash
+ExecStart=/usr/bin/node %h/nanoclaw/tools/clidash/server.js
+Environment=BIND=127.0.0.1
+Restart=on-failure
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=default.target
+```
+
+```bash
+systemctl --user enable --now clidash
+```
+
+On macOS, wrap `node server.js` (with `WorkingDirectory` = `tools/clidash`) in a
+launchd plist the same way the main NanoClaw service is configured.
+
+## Configuration reference
+
+`clidash.config.json` keys (see `tools/clidash/README.md` and
+`clidash.config.example.json` for the full shape):
+
+| Key | Purpose |
+|-----|---------|
+| `port`, `bind`, `refreshSeconds` | server bind + UI auto-refresh cadence |
+| `clis.<name>.bin` / `cwd` / `env` | how to invoke the CLI (`bin` is relative to `cwd`) |
+| `clis.<name>.discover` or `resources` | runtime discovery (`ncl help`) vs a static resource list |
+| `clis.<name>.list` | argv template; `{resource}` is the only substitution |
+| `clis.<name>.output` | `json` or `jsonlines` (docker/kubectl style) |
+| `clis.<name>.unwrap` | dot-path into a response envelope (e.g. `data`) |
+| `clis.<name>.enrich`/`badges`/`summary` | table decorations (ID→name joins, status colors, summary cards) |
+| `activity` | `sessionsRoot` + `days` for the message-activity charts |
+| `logs` | `dir`, `tailLines`, and an allowlist of `files` to tail |
+| `docs` | file viewer: `root`, a `deny` glob list, and `collections` of glob patterns |
+
+Adding a second CLI is config-only — e.g. `docker` is included as a `jsonlines`
+example. View plugins (`views/<cli>-<view>.js`) are the only per-CLI code and
+are optional.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **`ENOENT` / config not found** — run from `tools/clidash/` and make sure you
+  copied `clidash.config.example.json` to `clidash.config.json` (step 2), or set
+  `CLIDASH_CONFIG=/abs/path.json`.
+- **No `ncl` resources / discovery empty** — `bin/ncl` isn't built or the path
+  is wrong. Build it (`pnpm run build`) or fix `clis.ncl.bin`.
+- **docker tab errors** — the docker daemon isn't running, or remove the
+  `docker` CLI from config if you don't need it.
+- **Can't reach it from another device** — it binds `127.0.0.1`; set
+  `BIND=<private-ip>` (tailnet), never a public interface.
+- **Empty Activity/Logs/Files** — check that `activity.sessionsRoot`,
+  `logs.dir`, and `docs.root` resolve to your NanoClaw root (relative to where
+  you launch `node server.js`).
+

+# clidash
+
+CLI-agnostic **read-only** web dashboard. Point it at any CLI that can list
+resources as JSON and it derives the dashboard at runtime: one tab per
+resource, a generic table over whatever columns the rows have. New resource →
+new tab; new column → new table column; **zero code changes**.
+
+It ships pre-wired for NanoClaw's `ncl` CLI (agent groups, sessions, messaging
+groups, wirings, users, roles, …) plus `docker`, but the same config shape
+works for any list-as-JSON CLI.
+
+- **Zero dependencies** — Node built-ins only (Node ≥ 22.5, for `node:sqlite`),
+  no build step,
+  vanilla-JS frontend.
+- **Read-only by construction** — the server can only `execFile` the configured
+  argv templates; `{resource}` is the sole substitution and is validated
+  against the discovered/static resource allowlist. Never a shell.
+- **Standalone** — no imports from NanoClaw source; the core is extractable to
+  its own repo. The NanoClaw-specific knowledge lives entirely in the config
+  and in the `views/ncl-overview.js` view plugin.
+
+## Run
+
+```bash
+cp clidash.config.example.json clidash.config.json   # then edit paths if needed
+node server.js                                        # uses ./clidash.config.json
+CLIDASH_CONFIG=/path/to.json node server.js
+PORT=4690 BIND=127.0.0.1 node server.js               # env overrides
+```
+
+Run it from `tools/clidash/`; the example config uses paths relative to the
+NanoClaw root two levels up, so it works out of the box once `ncl` is built.
+
+## Configure (`clidash.config.json`)
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "port": 4690,
+  "bind": "127.0.0.1",          // never a public interface; a tailnet IP at most
+  "refreshSeconds": 60,
+  "clis": {
+    "ncl": {
+      "bin": "bin/ncl",                                        // relative to cwd below
+      "cwd": "../..",                                           // the NanoClaw root
+      "discover": { "args": ["help"], "parser": "ncl-help" },   // runtime resource discovery
+      "list": ["{resource}", "list", "--json"],                 // argv template
+      "output": "json",          // or "jsonlines" (docker/kubectl style)
+      "unwrap": "data"           // dot-path into a response envelope
+    },
+    "docker": {
+      "bin": "docker",
+      "resources": ["ps", "images"],          // static alternative to discover
+      "list": ["{resource}", "--format", "{{json .}}"],
+      "output": "jsonlines"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`{resource}` may appear as a whole argv element or inside one — e.g. a remote
+CLI via ssh: `"list": ["-i", "key.pem", "user@host", "ncl {resource} list --json"]`.
+
+Per-CLI `env` (merged over the server's env) and `cwd` are supported. See
+`clidash.config.example.json` for the full NanoClaw config, including the
+`enrich`/`badges`/`summary` table decorations and the `activity`/`logs`/`docs`
+sections.
+
+## API
+
+| Route | Returns |
+|---|---|
+| `GET /api/clis` | configured CLIs + discovered/static resources (discovery cached 60s) |
+| `GET /api/r/<cli>/<resource>` | `{ok, rows, fetchedAt}` — coalesced, 10s exec timeout |
+| `GET /api/view/<cli>/<view>` | curated view plugin from `views/<cli>-<view>.js` |
+
+View plugins are the only per-CLI *code*, and optional: a default-exported
+async function receiving `{ fetch }` (bound to that CLI) returning JSON.
+`views/ncl-overview.js` joins groups + sessions + messaging-groups + wirings
+into per-agent status cards (green <15m / amber <2h / red older).
+
+## Test
+
+```bash
+npm test            # unit + integration (node:test, stub CLI — no real CLI needed)
+./test/smoke.sh     # against a running instance
+```
+
+## Deploy as a service
+
+clidash binds `127.0.0.1` by default. To reach it from other devices, bind a
+private (e.g. tailnet) IP — **never a public interface**; the network is the
+auth boundary. Example systemd user service:
+
+```ini
+# ~/.config/systemd/user/clidash.service
+[Unit]
+Description=clidash read-only CLI dashboard
+
+[Service]
+WorkingDirectory=%h/nanoclaw/tools/clidash

+[Install]

+Then `systemctl --user enable --now clidash`.

+Resources:
+  approvals            Pending approval — in-flight approval cards waiting for an admin response. Created by requestApproval() (self-mod install_packages/add_mcp_server) and OneCLI credential approval flow. Rows are deleted after the admin approves/rejects or the request expires.
+                       verbs: list, get
+  destinations         Agent destination — per-agent routing entry and ACL. Each row authorizes an agent to send messages to a target (channel or another agent) and assigns a local name the agent uses to address it. Names are scoped to the source agent — two agents can have different local names for the same target. Created automatically when wiring channels or when agents create child agents.
+                       verbs: list, add, remove
+  dropped-messages     Dropped message log — tracks messages that were dropped by the router or access gate. Aggregates by (channel_type, platform_id) with a running count. Reasons include: no_agent_wired (no wiring exists), no_agent_engaged (wiring exists but engage rules didn't fire), unknown_sender_strict (sender not recognized, strict policy), unknown_sender_request_approval (sender not recognized, approval requested).
+                       verbs: list
+  groups               Agent group — a logical agent identity. Each group has its own workspace folder (CLAUDE.md, skills, container config), conversation history, and container image. Multiple messaging groups can be wired to one agent group.
+                       verbs: list, get, create, update, delete, restart, config get, config update, config add-mcp-server, config remove-mcp-server, config add-package, config remove-package
+  members              Agent group member — grants an unprivileged user permission to interact with an agent group. Users with admin or owner roles on the group are implicitly members and do not need a separate membership row. Membership is checked by the router when sender_scope is "known".
+                       verbs: list, add, remove
+  messaging-groups     Messaging group — one chat or channel on one platform (a Telegram DM, a Discord channel, a Slack thread root, an email address). Identity is the (channel_type, platform_id) pair, which must be unique.
+                       verbs: list, get, create, update, delete
+  roles                User role — privilege grant. "owner" is always global and has full control. "admin" can be global (agent_group_id null) or scoped to a specific agent group. Admin at a group implies membership. Approval routing prefers admins/owners reachable on the same messaging platform as the request origin (e.g. a Telegram request routes the approval card to an admin on Telegram when possible).
+                       verbs: list, grant, revoke
+  sessions             Session — the runtime unit. Maps one (agent_group, messaging_group, thread) combination to a container with its own inbound.db and outbound.db. Created automatically by the router when a message arrives.
+                       verbs: list, get
+  user-dms             User DM cache — maps (user, channel_type) to the messaging group used for DM delivery. Populated lazily by ensureUserDm() when the host needs to cold-DM a user (approvals, pairing). For direct-addressable channels (Telegram, WhatsApp) the handle IS the DM chat ID. For resolution-required channels (Discord, Slack) the adapter's openDM resolves it.
+                       verbs: list
+  users                User — a messaging-platform identity. Each row is one sender on one channel. A single human may have multiple user rows across channels (no cross-channel linking yet).
+                       verbs: list, get, create, update
+  wirings              Wiring — connects a messaging group to an agent group. Determines which agent handles messages from which chat. The same messaging group can be wired to multiple agents; the same agent can be wired to multiple messaging groups.
+                       verbs: list, get, create, update, delete
+
+Commands:
+  help                 List available resources and commands.
+
+Run `ncl <resource> help` for detailed field information.

-AskUserQuestion: Is this a shared phone number (personal WhatsApp) or a dedicated number?
-- **Shared number** — your personal WhatsApp (bot prefixes messages with its name)
-- **Dedicated number** — a separate phone/SIM for the assistant
+The adapter behaves fundamentally differently depending on whether the linked number is the assistant's own or the operator's personal one. The switch is `ASSISTANT_HAS_OWN_NUMBER` in `.env`, read by the adapter itself at startup. **Inference rule: absent (or anything other than `true`) means shared/personal** — the safe default, since misreading a personal number as dedicated makes the bot claim messages addressed to the human.
 
-If dedicated, add to `.env`:
+- **Shared/personal number** (`ASSISTANT_HAS_OWN_NUMBER` unset or not `true`) — DMs to this number and group @-tags of it address the *human*, not the bot. The adapter never emits a mention signal (`mentions: 'never'` in its declared channel defaults), so: no stranger DM ever auto-creates a messaging group or raises an admin approval card; group wirings default to a name pattern (`\b<AgentName>\b`) instead of platform mentions; auto-created chats default to `unknown_sender_policy: 'strict'`; outbound messages are prefixed with the assistant's name.
+- **Dedicated number** (`ASSISTANT_HAS_OWN_NUMBER=true`) — everything sent to the number is for the bot. DMs and group mentions carry a real mention signal (`mentions: 'platform'`), unknown senders escalate via `request_approval` approval cards, and card-approved groups wire with `engage_mode: 'mention'`. No name prefix on outbound.
+
+Use the `NUMBER_MODE` selected in the required safety check. If information discovered later contradicts that selection, ask again before changing modes; switching to shared requires the same warning and explicit acknowledgement.
+
+Write the answer to `.env` **explicitly in both cases** (don't rely on the inference rule for new installs):
 
 ```bash
+# Dedicated:
 ASSISTANT_HAS_OWN_NUMBER=true
+# Shared/personal:
+ASSISTANT_HAS_OWN_NUMBER=false
+```
+
+### Update path: existing install, flag unset
+
+If WhatsApp auth already exists (`store/auth/creds.json` present) but `.env` has no `ASSISTANT_HAS_OWN_NUMBER` line, the install predates the explicit switch. Use the mode established by the required safety check and write it explicitly.
+
+Suggest a default by comparing the authed number against the wired DM chat:
+
+```bash
+# The number this install is authenticated as
+node -e "const c=JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync('store/auth/creds.json','utf-8'));console.log(c.me?.id?.split(':')[0])"
+# The wired WhatsApp DM chats
+pnpm exec tsx scripts/q.ts data/v2.db "SELECT mg.platform_id FROM messaging_groups mg JOIN messaging_group_agents mga ON mg.id=mga.messaging_group_id WHERE mg.channel_type='whatsapp' AND mg.is_group=0"
+```
+
+If the wired DM's phone **equals** the authed number, the operator is talking to the bot in their own self-chat — that's a personal number: suggest **Shared**. If they differ, the operator messages the bot from a different number: suggest **Dedicated**. Confirm with the operator either way, then write the flag and restart the service.
+
+### Migration audit: spam-era group wirings
+
+Before the shared-number fix, group chats approved via the channel-registration card were wired `engage_mode='pattern'` with pattern `.` — respond-to-everything — because the card flow couldn't tell groups from DMs on non-threaded platforms. On a personal number this shows up as the bot answering every message in family/work groups after someone once tapped Connect on a spam-triggered card.
+
+List the suspect wirings (host service running — `ncl` is socket-only):
+
+```bash
+ncl wirings list --engage-mode pattern --engage-pattern "." --json
+```
+
+Cross-reference against WhatsApp group chats (`ncl messaging-groups list --channel-type whatsapp --is-group 1`). For each wiring with pattern `.` on a WhatsApp group that is *not* the operator's deliberate always-on chat (e.g. their self-chat), offer:
+
+- **Flip to name-based engagement**: `ncl wirings update <wiring-id> --engage-mode pattern --engage-pattern '\b<AgentName>\b'` (or `--engage-mode mention` on a dedicated number)
+- **Delete the wiring**: `ncl wirings delete <wiring-id>`
+
+Stale approval cards from that era can also linger. Clear pending channel approvals for chats the operator doesn't want wired:
+
+```bash
+pnpm exec tsx scripts/q.ts data/v2.db "DELETE FROM pending_channel_approvals WHERE messaging_group_id IN (SELECT id FROM messaging_groups WHERE channel_type='whatsapp')"

 ### "conflict" disconnection
 
 Two instances connected with same credentials. Ensure only one NanoClaw process is running.
+
+### Trunk updated but shared-number behavior unchanged (stale adapter copy)
+
+The shared-number behavior (no stranger approval cards, name-pattern group defaults) lives in the **adapter copy** at `src/channels/whatsapp.ts`, installed from the `channels` branch — not in trunk. If you updated trunk via `/update-nanoclaw` but skipped the skill-update step, the old adapter copy neither reads `ASSISTANT_HAS_OWN_NUMBER` itself nor declares channel defaults, so trunk falls back to the legacy behavior: approval cards still fire on a personal number, and new wirings get the channel-blind defaults. Symptoms of the skew:
+
+- `.env` says `ASSISTANT_HAS_OWN_NUMBER=false` (or unset) but strangers' DMs still raise approval cards
+- `ncl wirings create` on a WhatsApp group defaults to `mention` instead of a name pattern
+
+Fix: re-run `/add-whatsapp` (or `/update-skills`) to pull the current adapter from the `channels` branch, then restart the service. The reverse skew (new adapter, old trunk) can't happen — the adapter's `defaults` field is optional and old trunk ignores it.

+**No `messaging_groups` row appears after the user DMs (step 3a)** — auto-created rows are stamped with the channel adapter's declared `unknown_sender_policy` (two-level model: adapter declaration → per-row override; `strict` only when the adapter has no declaration).

+# Learn — Distill a Skill from Anything
+
+Turn a source — a directory, a URL, pasted notes, or the work just done in this conversation — into a clean, reusable NanoClaw skill. The output is a new `.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md` (plus optional `scripts/`, `references/`, `templates/`) authored to the project's skill guidelines.
+
+This skill is **instruction-only**: it uses the tools you already have (`Read`, `Grep`, `Glob`, `WebFetch`, `Write`) — there is no separate distillation engine and no reach-ins into core code.
+
+## When to use
+
+Invoke when the user wants to *capture* a workflow as a reusable skill:
+
+- `/learn <path>` — read a project/dir and build a skill for working with it
+- `/learn <url>` — read docs / an API page and build a usage skill
+- `/learn what we just did` — distill the current conversation's workflow
+- `/learn` + pasted notes — turn notes into a structured skill
+
+If the user instead wants to *find and install* an existing community skill, that is a different task — this skill **creates** new skills, it does not import them.
+
+## Workflow
+
+### 1. Identify the source — and whether this is a new skill or a refine
+- A **path** → read the code/files.
+- A **URL** → fetch and read the page.
+- **"what we just did" / "this"** → use the current conversation as the source.
+- **Pasted text** → use it directly.
+
+Then check `.claude/skills/` for an existing skill that already covers this topic (the user may name it, e.g. *"update the wow-on-steam-deck skill"*, or the subject may obviously match one). **If one exists, this is a REFINE, not a fresh create** — go to step 4's "Refining" branch.
+
+If it is ambiguous what the skill should *do*, ask one clarifying question before proceeding.
+
+### 2. Gather the material
+- **Path:** `Glob` the structure, `Read` the key files, `Grep` for the important entry points. Read enough to understand the *repeatable procedure*, not every line.
+- **URL:** `WebFetch` the page; pull out the concrete commands/steps, not the prose.
+- **Conversation:** re-read what was actually done — the commands, the gotchas, the decisions — and keep the parts that generalize.
+
+### 3. Distill — find the reusable procedure
+Strip the one-off specifics; keep the *repeatable* shape. A good skill answers: *"Next time someone needs to do X, what are the exact steps, files, commands, and gotchas?"* Capture:
+
+- the trigger / when-to-use,
+- the step-by-step procedure (commands, file paths, decision points),
+- the non-obvious **gotchas** that were hit — usually the most valuable part,
+- any scripts or templates worth shipping alongside.
+
+### 4. Author the SKILL.md
+
+**Refining an existing skill?** First `Read` the current `.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md`, then *update it in place* — do not blindly overwrite:
+- Keep what is still correct; weave the new learnings into the right sections.
+- **Dedupe** — don't append a near-duplicate step or a second gotcha that says the same thing.
+- Correct anything the new source proves stale (a changed path, command, or flag).
+- Preserve the existing `name`/folder and overall structure; the diff should read as a focused improvement, not a rewrite.
+
+**New skill?** Write `.claude/skills/<kebab-name>/SKILL.md`.
+
+**Frontmatter (required):**
+
+```yaml
+---
+name: <kebab-case, matches the folder>
+description: "<what it does + when to use it + likely trigger phrases>"
+---
+```
+
+`description` is what the agent reads to decide relevance — make it concrete and include the phrases a user would actually say.
+
+**Body:** open with one paragraph on what the skill does, then a `## When to use` section and a `## Workflow` of numbered steps (the actual procedure). Use tables for command/file references, and add a short examples or troubleshooting section when the gotchas warrant it.
+
+**House authoring rules (from `docs/skill-guidelines.md`):**
+
+- **Additive, minimal reach-ins** — prefer adding files; make the *smallest possible* edit to existing code, and only via single-line calls into skill-owned functions.
+- **Instruction-only when possible** — if Claude can do it by following prose plus existing tools, ship no code. These are the easiest skills to maintain and to merge.
+- If apply leaves anything behind, ship a **`REMOVE.md`** that fully reverses every change (no soft-disabled/commented-out removals).
+- If the skill adds an integration point in core code, add a **test that goes red if the wiring is deleted or drifts**.
+- Anti-patterns to avoid: separate `VERIFY.md` files, incomplete cleanup, raw SQL against core DBs, branch merges (use additive fetch), hand-maintained duplicate copies.
+
+### 5. Place and verify
+- Write into `.claude/skills/<name>/`; confirm the folder name matches the `name` frontmatter and the YAML parses.
+- If feasible, dry-run the procedure the skill describes to confirm it is correct.
+- Tell the user the skill exists and how to invoke it (`/<name>`).
+
+## Example
+
+`/learn what we just did` after a multi-step setup:
+
+1. Re-read the conversation's commands and gotchas.
+2. Distill the repeatable procedure.
+3. Write `.claude/skills/<topic>-setup/SKILL.md` with the steps, file paths, and the gotchas hit along the way.
+4. Report: *"Created `/<topic>-setup` — invoke it next time to repeat this."*
+
+## Notes
+
+- Keep skills **focused** — one capability per skill (mirrors the project's "one change per PR" rule).
+- The most valuable content is the **gotchas**, not the happy path.
+- This skill is prose and safe to re-run — use it again to refine an existing skill.

 **Delegate to `/init-first-agent`.** It handles: channel choice, operator identity lookup, DM platform id resolution (with cold-DM or pair-code fallback), agent group creation, wiring, and the welcome DM. Return here afterward for any additional channels.
 
+## Channel Defaults: The Two-Level Model
+
+Wiring defaults (engage mode/pattern, threading, `unknown_sender_policy`) resolve through **exactly two levels**:
+
+1. **Adapter declaration** — each channel adapter declares `ChannelDefaults` (separate DM and group contexts, plus a `mentions` capability) in its source file. The adapter copy is skill-installed and user-owned: to change a default install-wide, edit `src/channels/<channel>.ts` and restart. Declarations are never persisted to the DB.
+2. **Per-wiring/per-mg values chosen at creation** — every creation surface (`ncl wirings create` / `ncl messaging-groups create`, the `register` wizard step, the approval-card flow, `/init-first-agent`) fills omitted fields from the declaration and stores the result on the row. Pass explicit flags to override one wiring.
+
+There is no third level: existing rows are never re-resolved, so editing a declaration only affects wirings created afterward. The one exception is the **`threads` column**, which stays live — `NULL` means "inherit the declaration at message time".
+
+Channels with no declaration (stale adapter copies) fall back to the legacy behavior; run `/update-skills` to pull current adapters.
+
+### Wiring via ncl
+
+`ncl` requires the **host service to be running** (it connects over a Unix socket):
+
+```bash
+ncl messaging-groups create --channel-type <type> --platform-id "<id>" --name "<name>" [--is-group 1]
+ncl wirings create --messaging-group-id <mg-id> --agent-group-id <ag-id> [--session-mode <mode>]
+```
+
+Omitted `engage_mode`/`engage_pattern`/`unknown_sender_policy` come from the adapter declaration for the right context (DM vs group). Run `ncl wirings help` / `ncl messaging-groups help` for the full flag list.
+
+### Threading override (`--threads`)
+
+`ncl wirings create/update ... --threads true|false` controls whether platform thread ids are honored for this wiring. `true` (in groups) means per-thread sessions and in-thread replies/typing/cards; `false` collapses to a flat session with top-level replies. Omitted = `NULL` = inherit the channel declaration. A wiring can *disable* threads on a threaded platform (Slack, Discord, GitHub), never enable them on a non-threaded one.
+
+Two consequences to warn the user about:
+
+- **Session identity**: sessions are never deleted. Flipping `threads` on a live wiring orphans existing per-thread sessions (or splinters a shared one) — history stays in the old sessions; new messages start fresh ones.
+- **`mention-sticky` needs threads**: sticky engagement is keyed on per-thread session existence, so with resolved threads off it would engage once and never disengage. Creation and update coerce `mention-sticky` → `mention` (with a warning) when the effective thread policy is off.
+
+### Mention capability
+
+Each declaration states which mention signal the adapter emits: `platform` (real platform mentions), `dm-only` (only DMs are flagged), or `never`. On a `mentions: 'never'` channel (Linear OAuth apps, WhatsApp personal-number mode, Emacs), `mention`/`mention-sticky` wirings are **inert — they can never engage** — and `ncl` rejects them at create/update with an error citing the declaration. For groups on those channels, use a name pattern instead:
+
+```bash
+ncl wirings update <id> --engage-mode pattern --engage-pattern '(?i)^@?<Name>\b'
+```
+
+**Renaming an agent group does not update stored patterns.** Declared group patterns containing `{name}` are substituted with the agent group's name *at creation* and stored literally — after `ncl groups update <id> --name <NewName>`, audit that group's wirings for patterns still matching the old name and update them.

+
+Channel adapters now declare per-channel wiring defaults (engage mode, threading,

+`/update-skills` pulls current adapter copies, two deliberate behavior changes
+land. If the user's install has Slack, Discord, or WhatsApp, tell them:
+
+1. **Slack/Discord DM replies move top-level.** Both adapters now declare
+   `threads: false` for DMs, so DM replies stop chasing per-message sub-threads
+   and land in the main DM view, matching the DM session (which was already
+   flat). Group/channel threading is unchanged. To keep the old in-thread DM
+   behavior for a specific wiring, override it per wiring:
+   `ncl wirings update <wiring-id> --threads true`.
+2. **Shared-identity channels stop raising stranger approval cards.** On
+   channels where the linked account is the operator's personal identity, the
+   mechanics differ by channel: WhatsApp personal-number mode suppresses the
+   mention signal entirely (no auto-created messaging groups, no cards);
+   iMessage and WeChat still emit DM mention signals — stranger DMs still
+   auto-create `messaging_groups` rows — but their declared `strict` policy
+   makes those rows drop unknown senders silently instead of raising
+   channel-registration cards to the admin.
+
+**WhatsApp installs on a shared/personal number should re-run `/add-whatsapp`**
+after the skill update: it now asks the dedicated-vs-personal question
+explicitly (writing `ASSISTANT_HAS_OWN_NUMBER` to `.env`), audits for legacy
+mis-wired group rows from spam-era approval cards, and shows how to clear
+stale pending approvals.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+- [BREAKING] **`whatsapp-formatting` and `slack-formatting` container skills moved from trunk to the `channels` branch.** They now install with their channel — `/add-whatsapp` / `/add-slack` and the setup installers copy them in — so installs without those channels stop carrying channel-specific formatting instructions in every agent's context. **Migration — only if this install has the channel wired** (check `src/channels/whatsapp.ts` / `src/channels/slack.ts`): updating removes both skills from the working tree — WhatsApp agents lose the formatting fragment from their composed CLAUDE.md on next spawn, Slack agents lose the mrkdwn skill from `~/.claude/skills`. Re-run the matching skill, `/add-whatsapp` or `/add-slack` (idempotent), to restore. Installs without the channel need nothing — do NOT run the add-skill just in case; it installs the full channel adapter.
+- **Pre-task script failures back their series off instead of spinning.** A `--script` that errors lands the occurrence as a failed run (`script-skip:error` ack → `failed` status); recurrence reads the series' trailing failed streak and re-arms at `max(cron next, now + 2·2^(n−1) min, cap 60)`; after 8 consecutive failures the series is auto-paused with a host-written note in its run log (`ncl tasks resume` revives it). A deliberate `wakeAgent:false` gate is a normal run and never backs off. Also fixed: an explicitly-addressed `<message to>` in a task fire's final text now delivers as a deliberate send (previously suppressed as a turn-reply echo → zero delivery when the agent skipped the MCP tool); identical echoes of an MCP send are dropped in the runner, where the duplication originates.
+- [BREAKING] **Scheduled tasks moved from MCP tools to `ncl tasks`.** The six scheduling MCP tools are no longer exposed to agent containers; agents and operators manage tasks with `ncl tasks list/get/create/update/cancel/pause/resume/delete`. New tasks run from a per-agent-group system session rather than waking the chat session that created them, and task writes are not approval-gated inside the owning group. **Migration:** [docs/ncl-tasks-migration.md](docs/ncl-tasks-migration.md).
+- **Optional per-container resource caps.** `CONTAINER_CPU_LIMIT` and `CONTAINER_MEMORY_LIMIT` pass through to `docker run` as `--cpus` / `--memory` (`container-runner.ts`). Both empty by default — no flag added, spawn args byte-identical to today — so existing installs are unaffected. Set them to cap an agent container's CPU/memory so one agent can't monopolize the host (e.g. `CONTAINER_CPU_LIMIT=2`, `CONTAINER_MEMORY_LIMIT=8g`). Swap is intentionally not managed here: `--memory` is a hard cap on a swapless host.
+- [BREAKING] **Chat SDK pinned to `4.29.0` (was `4.26.0` via `^4.24.0`).** `chat` and the `@chat-adapter/*` channel adapters are version-locked — the adapter's `ChatInstance` must match the bridge's, so a mismatched pair fails to typecheck at `createChatSdkBridge(...)`. `chat` is therefore pinned exactly, and the channel-adapter install pins move with it — the `/add-<channel>` SKILL.md steps and `setup/*.sh` scripts on `main`, plus the adapter code on the `channels` branch. Core installs with no channel (only `cli`) are unaffected. **Migration:** if any channel is installed (Slack, Discord, Telegram, Teams, …), re-run its `/add-<channel>` skill to pull the matching `4.29.0` adapter.
+- **Budget/billing-exhausted LLM turns now reach the user instead of being silently dropped.** When a turn ends in a non-retryable provider error (e.g. an Anthropic `403 billing_error`) with no `<message>` wrapping, the agent-runner delivers the provider's notice to the originating channel and stops re-nudging the failing gateway. `providers/claude.ts` now surfaces the SDK's `is_error` flag (and the error subtype's `errors[]` text); `poll-loop.ts` delivers that text and skips the re-wrap retry. Fixes the case where a spend-limit notice produced silence plus a turn-after-turn retry loop.
 - [BREAKING] **`@onecli-sh/sdk` 0.5.0 -> 2.2.1 — requires a OneCLI server with the `/v1` API** (older servers 404 every SDK call). The sanctioned gateway and CLI versions are pinned in `versions.json`. **The gateway is a separate component — updating NanoClaw does not upgrade it for you:** `/update-nanoclaw` upgrades it when the pin moves, otherwise upgrade manually. **Migration:** [docs/onecli-upgrades.md](docs/onecli-upgrades.md).
 - **New agent provider: Codex (OpenAI) — run `/add-codex`.** Full runtime via `codex app-server` (planning, MCP tools, server-side history, resume). Trunk ships the seams and the skill; the payload installs from the `providers` branch (the skill, the setup picker, or `--step provider-auth codex`). Auth is vault-only — no credential ever enters a container.
 - **Setup can now select, install, and authenticate a non-default agent provider.** A provider registry feeds the setup picker, an installer pulls the provider's payload from its branch, a vault auth walkthrough runs (`--step provider-auth`), and the picked provider is set on the first agent (a DB property) before its first spawn. Default (Claude) installs are unaffected — picking Claude changes nothing.

 - **Per-agent workspace** — each agent group has its own `CLAUDE.md`, its own memory, its own container, and only the mounts you allow. Nothing crosses the boundary unless you wire it to.
-- **Scheduled tasks** — recurring jobs that run Claude and can message you back
+- **Scheduled tasks** — recurring jobs executed by the agent, which can message you the results
 - **Web access** — search and fetch content from the web
-- **Container isolation** — agents are sandboxed in Docker (macOS/Linux/WSL2), with optional [Docker Sandboxes](docs/docker-sandboxes.md) micro-VM isolation or Apple Container as a macOS-native opt-in
+- **Container isolation** — agents are sandboxed in Docker containers (macOS/Linux/WSL2)
 - **Credential security** — agents never hold raw API keys. Outbound requests route through [OneCLI's Agent Vault](https://github.com/onecli/onecli), which injects credentials at request time and enforces per-agent policies and rate limits.
+- **Agent templates**: stamp a ready-to-run agent (instructions + MCP tools + skills, no secrets) from a reusable bundle via `ncl groups create --template <ref>`. Templates load from the local `templates/` folder; populate it by hand or by copying from the [public library](https://github.com/nanocoai/nanoclaw-templates). See [docs/templates.md](docs/templates.md).

+## NanoClaw를 만든 이유
+
+[OpenClaw](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw)는 인상적인 프로젝트지만, 제가 이해하지 못하는 복잡한 소프트웨어에 제 삶 전체에 대한 접근 권한을 줬다면 저는 잠을 이루지 못했을 것입니다. OpenClaw는 거의 50만 줄에 달하는 코드, 53개의 설정 파일, 70개 이상의 의존성을 가지고 있습니다. 보안은 진정한 OS 수준의 격리가 아니라 애플리케이션 수준(허용 목록, 페어링 코드)에 의존합니다. 모든 것이 메모리를 공유하는 하나의 Node 프로세스에서 실행됩니다.
+
+NanoClaw는 그와 동일한 핵심 기능을 제공하지만, 이해할 수 있을 만큼 작은 코드베이스로 구현합니다. 하나의 프로세스와 몇 개의 파일뿐입니다. Claude 에이전트는 단순한 권한 검사 뒤가 아니라, 파일시스템이 격리된 각자의 Linux 컨테이너에서 실행됩니다.
+
+## 빠른 시작
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/nanocoai/nanoclaw.git nanoclaw-v2
+cd nanoclaw-v2
+bash nanoclaw.sh
+```
+
+`nanoclaw.sh`는 갓 준비한 머신에서 시작해 메시지를 보낼 수 있는 이름 붙은 에이전트까지 안내합니다. 누락된 경우 Node, pnpm, Docker를 설치하고, Anthropic 자격 증명을 OneCLI에 등록하며, 에이전트 컨테이너를 빌드하고, 첫 채널(Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp 또는 로컬 CLI)을 페어링합니다. 어떤 단계가 실패하면 Claude Code가 자동으로 호출되어 원인을 진단하고 중단된 지점부터 재개합니다.
+
+<details>
+<summary><strong>NanoClaw v1에서 마이그레이션하시나요?</strong></summary>
+
+기존 v1 설치 옆에 새로운 v2 체크아웃을 만들어 실행하세요:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/nanocoai/nanoclaw.git nanoclaw-v2
+cd nanoclaw-v2
+bash migrate-v2.sh
+```
+
+`migrate-v2.sh`는 v1 설치(형제 디렉터리, 또는 `NANOCLAW_V1_PATH=/path/to/nanoclaw`)를 찾아 상태를 v2 체크아웃으로 마이그레이션한 다음, 판단이 필요한 부분(소유자 시딩, CLAUDE.local.md 정리, 포크 커스터마이징 재적용)을 마무리하기 위해 Claude Code로 `exec`합니다.
+
+이 스크립트는 Claude 세션 내부가 아니라 직접 실행하세요. 결정론적인 부분에서 Node/pnpm 부트스트랩, Docker, OneCLI, 컨테이너 빌드를 위해 대화형 프롬프트와 실제 셸 I/O가 필요합니다.
+
+**무엇을 하는가:** `.env`를 병합하고, `registered_groups`로부터 v2 DB를 시딩하며, 그룹 폴더 + 세션 데이터 + 예약 작업을 복사하고, 선택한 채널 어댑터를 설치하며, 채널 인증 상태(WhatsApp의 Baileys 키스토어 + LID 매핑 포함)를 복사하고, 에이전트 컨테이너를 빌드합니다.
+
+**무엇을 하지 않는가:** 시스템 서비스를 전환하지 않습니다. 프롬프트에서 *"switch to v2"*를 선택하거나, 테스트 후 수동으로 전환하세요. 기존 v1 설치는 그대로 유지됩니다.
+
+무엇이 달라졌는지는 [docs/v1-to-v2-changes.md](docs/v1-to-v2-changes.md)를, 개발 노트는 [docs/migration-dev.md](docs/migration-dev.md)를 참고하세요.
+
+</details>
+
+## 철학
+
+**이해할 수 있을 만큼 작게.** 하나의 프로세스, 몇 개의 소스 파일, 마이크로서비스 없음. NanoClaw 코드베이스 전체를 이해하고 싶다면 Claude Code에게 안내해 달라고 요청하기만 하면 됩니다.
+
+**격리를 통한 보안.** 에이전트는 Linux 컨테이너에서 실행되며 명시적으로 마운트된 것만 볼 수 있습니다. 명령이 호스트가 아니라 컨테이너 안에서 실행되기 때문에 Bash 접근도 안전합니다.
+
+**개별 사용자를 위해 설계.** NanoClaw는 거대한 단일 프레임워크가 아니라, 각 사용자의 정확한 필요에 맞는 소프트웨어입니다. 비대한 소프트웨어가 되는 대신, NanoClaw는 맞춤형이 되도록 설계되었습니다. 직접 포크를 만들고 Claude Code가 여러분의 필요에 맞게 수정하도록 합니다.
+
+**커스터마이징 = 코드 변경.** 설정의 난립이 없습니다. 다른 동작을 원하시나요? 코드를 수정하세요. 코드베이스가 충분히 작아서 안전하게 변경할 수 있습니다.
+
+**AI 네이티브, 설계상 하이브리드.** 설치와 온보딩 흐름은 최적화된 스크립트 경로로, 빠르고 결정론적입니다. 어떤 단계에 판단이 필요할 때 — 설치 실패, 안내가 필요한 결정, 커스터마이징 등 — 제어권이 Claude Code로 매끄럽게 넘어갑니다. 설정 이후에도 모니터링 대시보드나 디버깅 UI가 없습니다. 채팅으로 문제를 설명하면 Claude Code가 처리합니다.
+
+**기능보다 스킬.** 트렁크는 특정 채널 어댑터나 대체 에이전트 프로바이더가 아니라 레지스트리와 인프라를 제공합니다. 채널(Discord, Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp, …)은 오래 유지되는 `channels` 브랜치에, 대체 프로바이더(OpenCode, Ollama)는 `providers` 브랜치에 있습니다. `/add-telegram`, `/add-opencode` 등을 실행하면 스킬이 여러분이 필요로 하는 모듈만 정확히 포크로 복사합니다. 요청하지 않은 기능은 없습니다.
+
+**최고의 하니스, 최고의 모델.** NanoClaw는 Anthropic의 공식 Claude Agent SDK를 통해 Claude Code를 네이티브로 사용하므로, 최신 Claude 모델과 Claude Code의 전체 도구 세트를 누릴 수 있습니다. 여기에는 자신의 NanoClaw 포크를 직접 수정하고 확장하는 능력도 포함됩니다. 다른 프로바이더는 드롭인 옵션입니다. OpenAI의 Codex는 `/add-codex`(ChatGPT 구독 또는 API 키), OpenRouter·Google·DeepSeek 등은 OpenCode를 통한 `/add-opencode`, 로컬 오픈 웨이트 모델은 `/add-ollama-provider`로 추가합니다. 프로바이더는 에이전트 그룹별로 설정할 수 있습니다.
+
+## 지원 기능
+
+- **멀티 채널 메시징** — WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Microsoft Teams, iMessage, Matrix, Google Chat, Webex, Linear, GitHub, WeChat, 그리고 Resend를 통한 이메일. `/add-<channel>` 스킬로 필요할 때 설치합니다. 하나 또는 여러 개를 동시에 실행할 수 있습니다.
+- **유연한 격리** — 완전한 프라이버시를 위해 각 채널을 자체 에이전트에 연결하거나, 대화는 분리하되 메모리는 통합하기 위해 하나의 에이전트를 여러 채널에서 공유하거나, 여러 채널을 하나의 공유 세션으로 묶어 하나의 대화가 여러 채널에 걸쳐 이어지도록 할 수 있습니다. `/manage-channels`로 채널별로 선택하세요. [docs/isolation-model.md](docs/isolation-model.md)를 참고하세요.
+- **에이전트별 작업 공간** — 각 에이전트 그룹은 자체 `CLAUDE.md`, 자체 메모리, 자체 컨테이너, 그리고 여러분이 허용한 마운트만 갖습니다. 직접 연결하지 않는 한 경계를 넘는 것은 아무것도 없습니다.
+- **예약 작업** — Claude를 실행하고 여러분에게 다시 메시지를 보낼 수 있는 반복 작업
+- **웹 접근** — 웹에서 검색하고 콘텐츠를 가져오기
+- **컨테이너 격리** — 에이전트는 Docker(macOS/Linux/WSL2)에서 샌드박스화되며, 선택적으로 [Docker Sandboxes](docs/docker-sandboxes.md) 마이크로 VM 격리나 macOS 네이티브 런타임인 Apple Container를 사용할 수 있습니다
+- **자격 증명 보안** — 에이전트는 원시 API 키를 절대 보유하지 않습니다. 아웃바운드 요청은 [OneCLI의 Agent Vault](https://github.com/onecli/onecli)를 통해 라우팅되며, 요청 시점에 자격 증명을 주입하고 에이전트별 정책과 속도 제한을 적용합니다.
+
+## 사용법
+
+트리거 단어(기본값: `@Andy`)로 어시스턴트에게 말을 거세요:
+
+```
+@Andy 매주 평일 오전 9시에 영업 파이프라인 개요를 보내줘 (내 Obsidian 보관함 폴더에 접근 가능)
+@Andy 매주 금요일에 지난 한 주간의 git 히스토리를 검토하고, 내용이 어긋나면 README를 업데이트해줘
+@Andy 매주 월요일 오전 8시에 Hacker News와 TechCrunch에서 AI 관련 소식을 모아 브리핑을 보내줘
+```
+
+여러분이 소유하거나 관리하는 채널에서는 그룹과 작업을 관리할 수 있습니다:
+```
+@Andy 모든 그룹에 걸친 예약 작업을 전부 나열해줘
+@Andy 월요일 브리핑 작업을 일시 정지해줘
+@Andy Family Chat 그룹에 참여해줘
+```
+
+## 커스터마이징
+
+NanoClaw는 설정 파일을 사용하지 않습니다. 변경하려면 Claude Code에게 원하는 것을 말하기만 하면 됩니다:
+
+- "트리거 단어를 @Bob으로 바꿔줘"
+- "앞으로는 응답을 더 짧고 직접적으로 하도록 기억해줘"
+- "내가 좋은 아침이라고 인사하면 맞춤 인사를 추가해줘"
+- "매주 대화 요약을 저장해줘"
+
+또는 안내형 변경을 위해 `/customize`를 실행하세요.
+
+코드베이스가 충분히 작아서 Claude가 안전하게 수정할 수 있습니다.
+
+## 기여하기
+
+**기능을 추가하지 마세요. 스킬을 추가하세요.**
+
+새로운 채널이나 에이전트 프로바이더를 추가하고 싶다면 트렁크에 추가하지 마세요. 새 채널 어댑터는 `channels` 브랜치에, 새 에이전트 프로바이더는 `providers` 브랜치에 들어갑니다. 사용자는 `/add-<name>` 스킬로 자신의 포크에 설치하며, 이 스킬은 관련 모듈을 표준 경로로 복사하고, 등록을 연결하며, 의존성을 고정합니다.
+
+이를 통해 트렁크는 순수한 레지스트리이자 인프라로 유지되고, 모든 포크는 가벼운 상태를 유지합니다. 사용자는 요청한 채널과 프로바이더만 얻고 그 외에는 아무것도 얻지 않습니다.
+
+### RFS (Request for Skills)
+
+저희가 보고 싶은 스킬:
+

+
+## 아키텍처
+
+```
+메시징 앱 → 호스트 프로세스(라우터) → inbound.db → 컨테이너(Bun, Claude Agent SDK) → outbound.db → 호스트 프로세스(전송) → 메시징 앱
+```
+
+하나의 Node 호스트가 세션별 에이전트 컨테이너를 오케스트레이션합니다. 메시지가 도착하면 호스트는 엔티티 모델(사용자 → 메시징 그룹 → 에이전트 그룹 → 세션)을 통해 라우팅하고, 세션의 `inbound.db`에 기록한 뒤 컨테이너를 깨웁니다. 컨테이너 내부의 에이전트 러너는 `inbound.db`를 폴링하고, Claude를 실행하며, 응답을 `outbound.db`에 기록합니다. 호스트는 `outbound.db`를 폴링하여 채널 어댑터를 통해 다시 전송합니다.
+
+세션당 두 개의 SQLite 파일이 있으며 각각 정확히 하나의 작성자만 갖습니다. 교차 마운트 경합이 없고, IPC가 없으며, stdin 파이핑이 없습니다. 채널과 대체 프로바이더는 시작 시 자체 등록됩니다. 트렁크는 레지스트리와 Chat SDK 브리지를 제공하고, 어댑터 자체는 포크별로 스킬을 통해 설치됩니다.
+
+전체 아키텍처 설명은 [docs/architecture.md](docs/architecture.md)를, 3단계 격리 모델은 [docs/isolation-model.md](docs/isolation-model.md)를 참고하세요.
+
+핵심 파일:
+- `src/index.ts` — 진입점: DB 초기화, 채널 어댑터, 전송 폴링, 스윕
+- `src/router.ts` — 인바운드 라우팅: 메시징 그룹 → 에이전트 그룹 → 세션 → `inbound.db`
+- `src/delivery.ts` — `outbound.db` 폴링, 어댑터를 통한 전송, 시스템 액션 처리
+- `src/host-sweep.ts` — 60초 스윕: 정체 감지, 예정 메시지 깨우기, 반복 처리
+- `src/session-manager.ts` — 세션 확인, `inbound.db` / `outbound.db` 열기
+- `src/container-runner.ts` — 에이전트 그룹별 컨테이너 생성, OneCLI 자격 증명 주입
+- `src/db/` — 중앙 DB (사용자, 역할, 에이전트 그룹, 메시징 그룹, 연결, 마이그레이션)
+- `src/channels/` — 채널 어댑터 인프라 (어댑터는 `/add-<channel>` 스킬로 설치)
+- `src/providers/` — 호스트 측 프로바이더 설정 (`claude`는 기본 내장, 그 외는 스킬 경유)
+- `container/agent-runner/` — Bun 에이전트 러너: 폴 루프, MCP 도구, 프로바이더 추상화
+- `groups/<folder>/` — 에이전트 그룹별 파일시스템 (`CLAUDE.md`, 스킬, 컨테이너 설정)
+
+## FAQ
+
+**왜 Docker인가요?**
+
+Docker는 크로스 플랫폼 지원(macOS, Linux, 그리고 WSL2 경유 Windows)과 성숙한 생태계를 제공합니다. macOS에서는 더 가벼운 네이티브 런타임인 Apple Container도 지원됩니다. 추가 격리를 위해 [Docker Sandboxes](docs/docker-sandboxes.md)는 각 컨테이너를 마이크로 VM 안에서 실행합니다.
+
+**Linux나 Windows에서 실행할 수 있나요?**
+
+네. Docker가 기본 런타임이며 macOS, Linux, Windows(WSL2 경유)에서 작동합니다. `bash nanoclaw.sh`를 실행하기만 하면 됩니다.
+
+**이것은 안전한가요?**
+
+에이전트는 애플리케이션 수준의 권한 검사 뒤가 아니라 컨테이너에서 실행됩니다. 명시적으로 마운트된 디렉터리만 접근할 수 있습니다. 자격 증명은 컨테이너에 들어가지 않습니다. 아웃바운드 API 요청은 [OneCLI의 Agent Vault](https://github.com/onecli/onecli)를 통해 라우팅되며, 프록시 수준에서 인증을 주입하고 속도 제한과 접근 정책을 지원합니다. 여전히 실행하는 것을 검토해야 하지만, 코드베이스가 충분히 작아서 실제로 검토할 수 있습니다. 전체 보안 모델은 [보안 문서](https://docs.nanoclaw.dev/concepts/security)를 참고하세요.
+
+**왜 설정 파일이 없나요?**
+
+설정의 난립을 원하지 않습니다. 모든 사용자는 일반적인 시스템을 설정하는 대신, 코드가 정확히 원하는 대로 동작하도록 NanoClaw를 커스터마이즈해야 합니다. 설정 파일을 선호한다면 Claude에게 추가해 달라고 할 수 있습니다.
+
+**서드파티나 오픈소스 모델을 사용할 수 있나요?**
+
+네. 지원되는 경로는 `/add-opencode`(OpenCode 설정을 통한 OpenRouter, OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek 등) 또는 `/add-ollama-provider`(Ollama를 통한 로컬 오픈 웨이트 모델)입니다. 둘 다 에이전트 그룹별로 설정할 수 있으므로, 같은 설치 내에서 서로 다른 에이전트가 서로 다른 백엔드에서 실행될 수 있습니다.
+
+일회성 실험의 경우, Claude API 호환 엔드포인트라면 `.env`를 통해서도 작동합니다:
+
+```bash
+ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://your-api-endpoint.com
+ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=your-token-here
+```
+
+**문제를 어떻게 디버깅하나요?**
+
+Claude Code에게 물어보세요. "스케줄러가 왜 실행되지 않지?" "최근 로그에 뭐가 있지?" "이 메시지는 왜 응답을 받지 못했지?" 그것이 NanoClaw의 바탕에 깔린 AI 네이티브 접근 방식입니다.
+
+**설정이 왜 작동하지 않나요?**
+
+어떤 단계가 실패하면 `nanoclaw.sh`는 진단하고 재개하기 위해 Claude Code로 넘깁니다. 그래도 해결되지 않으면 `claude`를 실행한 뒤 `/debug`를 실행하세요. Claude가 다른 사용자에게도 영향을 줄 만한 문제를 발견하면, 관련 설정 단계나 스킬에 대한 PR을 열어주세요.
+
+**NanoClaw를 어떻게 제거하나요?**
+
+```bash
+bash nanoclaw.sh --uninstall
+```
+
+모든 설치는 체크아웃별 ID로 태깅되므로, 제거 프로그램은 해당 사본에 속한 것만 제거합니다: 백그라운드 서비스, 컨테이너와 이미지, 앱 데이터와 로그, 에이전트 파일, 그리고 이 사본의 OneCLI 볼트 에이전트입니다. 공유되는 것 — OneCLI 앱과 여러분의 자격 증명, 머신의 다른 NanoClaw 사본 — 은 그대로 둡니다. 무엇을 발견했는지 정확히 보여주고 그룹별로 확인을 요청합니다. 여러분이 동의하기 전까지는 아무것도 삭제되지 않습니다. 변경 없이 미리 보려면 `--dry-run`을, 프롬프트를 건너뛰려면 `--yes`를 사용하세요. `.env`는 제거 전에 백업됩니다. 마무리하려면 체크아웃 폴더 자체를 삭제하세요.
+
+**어떤 변경이 코드베이스에 받아들여지나요?**
+
+기본 구성에는 보안 수정, 버그 수정, 명확한 개선만 받아들여집니다. 그게 전부입니다.
+
+그 외의 모든 것(새로운 기능, OS 호환성, 하드웨어 지원, 향상)은 스킬로 기여해야 합니다. 채널과 프로바이더 코드는 `channels`/`providers` 레지스트리 브랜치에, 그 외에는 자체 완결형 스킬로 기여합니다. [docs/customizing.md](docs/customizing.md)와 [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md)를 참고하세요.
+
+이를 통해 기본 시스템을 최소한으로 유지하고, 모든 사용자가 원하지 않는 기능을 떠안지 않으면서 자신의 설치를 커스터마이즈할 수 있습니다.

-## Task scheduling (`schedule_task`)
+## Task scheduling (`ncl tasks`)
 
-For any recurring task, use `schedule_task`. This is the scheduling path — tasks persist across sessions and restarts, and support the pre-task `script` hook described below.
+Use `ncl tasks` for one-shot and recurring tasks. A task runs in this agent group's system session, not in the current chat session, so when it fires you must choose a destination explicitly with `<message to="name">...</message>` or `send_message({ to: "name", ... })`.
 
-To inspect or change existing tasks, use `list_tasks` (returns one row per series with the stable id) and `update_task` / `cancel_task` / `pause_task` / `resume_task`. Prefer `update_task` over cancel + reschedule.
+Pass `--name "<short label>"` on create to get a readable task id (e.g. `--name "sales briefing"` → `sales-briefing-a25c`); without it ids are `t-<hex>`.
 
-Frequent recurring scheduled tasks — more than a few times a day — consume API credits and can risk account restrictions. You can add a `script` that runs first, and you will only be called when the check passes.
-
-### How it works
-
-1. Provide a bash `script` alongside the `prompt` when scheduling
-2. When the task fires, the script runs first
-3. Script returns: `{ "wakeAgent": true/false, "data": {...} }`
-4. If `wakeAgent: false` — nothing happens, task waits for next run
-5. If `wakeAgent: true` — claude receives the script's data + prompt and handles
-
-### Always test your script first
-
-Before scheduling, run the script directly to verify it works:
+Common commands:
 
 ```bash
-bash -c 'node --input-type=module -e "
-  const r = await fetch(\"https://api.github.com/repos/owner/repo/pulls?state=open\");
-  const prs = await r.json();
-  console.log(JSON.stringify({ wakeAgent: prs.length > 0, data: prs.slice(0, 5) }));
-"'
+ncl tasks create --name "ping" --prompt "Remind me to call Dana" --process-after "tomorrow 18:00"
+ncl tasks list
+ncl tasks get ping-a25c        # includes run count, failures, and recent run-log lines
+ncl tasks run ping-a25c         # fire once now without changing the schedule (testing)
+ncl tasks update ping-a25c --prompt "New instructions"
+ncl tasks pause ping-a25c
+ncl tasks resume ping-a25c
+ncl tasks cancel ping-a25c      # or --all as a kill switch
+ncl tasks delete ping-a25c
 ```
 
-### When NOT to use scripts
+Use good judgement on whether it's appropriate to check in with the user about the task prompt before task creation, and if so, whether to share verbatim or a description of it.
 
-If a task requires your judgment every time (daily briefings, reminders, reports), skip the script — just use a regular prompt. Do not attempt to do things like sentiment analysis or advanced nlp in scripts.
+`--process-after` accepts UTC timestamps or naive local timestamps interpreted in the instance timezone (shown in the `<context timezone="..."/>` header).
 
-### Frequent task guidance
-
-If a user wants a task to run more than a few times a day and a script can't be used:
-
-- Explain that each time the task fires it uses API credits and risks rate limits
-- Suggest adjusting the task requirements in a way that will allow you to use a script
-- If the user needs an LLM to evaluate data, suggest using an API key with direct Anthropic API calls inside the script
-- Help the user find the minimum viable frequency
+Run `ncl tasks create --help` for schedules, options, and pre-task gate scripts (checks that run before you wake).
