nanoclaw-repl
Lets your agent operate an interactive programming environment. It allows managing sessions, switching models, and searching information. It's useful for efficiently developing and managing scripts.
What it does
This tool lets you use and improve a program called NanoClaw. It saves your conversations in plain text files (markdown) and offers special commands to manage these conversations.
When to use it
- ✓When you want to save and continue a conversation later.
- ✓When you want to switch the AI model you are using.
- ✓When you want to organize or search through old conversations.
Example of what to ask your AI
“I want to save this conversation to continue later.”

Operating Guidance
- Keep sessions task-focused.
- Branch before high-risk changes.
- Compact after major milestones.
- Export before sharing or archival.
Extension Rules
- keep zero external runtime dependencies
- preserve markdown-as-database compatibility
- keep command handlers deterministic and local
FAQ
What are 'sessions'?
Sessions are like notebooks where NanoClaw saves your conversations. Each session can be saved to a file.
What are 'slash commands'?
These are special commands that start with a slash (/) and make NanoClaw perform specific tasks, like saving, loading, or changing settings.
Why use 'markdown'?
Markdown is a simple way to write text that can be easily read by humans and computers, making sessions easy to manage and share.
