refactor(claude-md): split shared base into module fragments, inject name at runtime
Move every agent-specific instruction out of the shared container/CLAUDE.md
so the base is genuinely universal. Persona/identity now comes from the
system-prompt addendum (buildSystemPromptAddendum now takes assistantName
and prepends "# You are {name}"). Per-module instructions live alongside
each MCP tool source:
container/agent-runner/src/mcp-tools/core.instructions.md
container/agent-runner/src/mcp-tools/scheduling.instructions.md
container/agent-runner/src/mcp-tools/self-mod.instructions.md
composeGroupClaudeMd() scans that directory and emits `module-<name>.md`
fragments as symlinks to /app/src/mcp-tools/<name>.instructions.md (valid
via the existing RO source mount). Skill fragments renamed to
`skill-<name>.md` for naming consistency with `module-*` and `mcp-*`.
Mount tightening so composer-managed files can't be clobbered by agent
writes: nested RO mounts for /workspace/agent/CLAUDE.md and
/workspace/agent/.claude-fragments/. CLAUDE.local.md (per-group memory)
stays RW as the only writable CLAUDE.md-family file.
.gitignore: ignore CLAUDE.local.md, .claude-shared.md, .claude-fragments/
everywhere, and simplify groups/ rules to ignore the whole tree (per-
installation state, not tracked).

## Sending messages
|
||||
|
||||
Your final response is delivered via the `## Sending messages` rules in your runtime system prompt (single-destination: just write; multi-destination: use `<message to="name">...</message>` blocks). See that section for the current destination list.
|
||||
|
||||
### Mid-turn updates (`send_message`)
|
||||
|
||||
Use the `mcp__nanoclaw__send_message` tool to send a message while you're still working (before your final output). If you have one destination, `to` is optional; with multiple, specify it. Pace your updates to the length of the work:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Short turn (≤2 quick tool calls):** Don't narrate. Output any response.
|
||||
- **Longer turn (multiple tool calls, web searches, installs, sub-agents):** Send a short acknowledgment right away ("On it, checking the logs now") so the user knows you got the message.
|
||||
- **Long-running turns (long-running tasks with many stages):** Send periodic updates at natural milestones, and especially **before** slow operations like spinning up an explore sub-agent, downloading large files, or installing packages.
|
||||
|
||||
**Never narrate micro-steps.** "I'm going to read the file now… okay, I'm reading it… now I'm parsing it…" is noise. Updates should mark meaningful transitions, not every tool call.
|
||||
|
||||
**Outcomes, not play-by-play.** When the turn is done, the final message should be about the result, not a transcript of what you did.
|
||||
|
||||
### Internal thoughts
|
||||
|
||||
Wrap reasoning in `<internal>...</internal>` tags to mark it as scratchpad — logged but not sent.

## Task scheduling (`schedule_task`)
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
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:
|
||||
|
||||
```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) }));
|
||||
"'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### When NOT to use scripts
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
### 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

## Installing packages & tools
|
||||
|
||||
To install packages that persist, use the self-modification tools:
|
||||
|
||||
**`install_packages`** — request system (apt) or global npm packages. Requires admin approval.
|
||||
|
||||
Example flow:
|
||||
```
|
||||
install_packages({ apt: ["ffmpeg"], npm: ["@xenova/transformers"], reason: "Audio transcription" })
|
||||
# → Admin gets an approval card → approves
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**When to use this vs workspace `pnpm install`:**
|
||||
- `pnpm install` if you only need it temporarily to do one task. Will not be available in subsequent truns.
|
||||
- `install_packages` persists for all future turns. Use especially if the user specifically asks you to add a capability
|
||||
|
||||
### MCP servers (`add_mcp_server`)
|
||||
|
||||
Use **`add_mcp_server`** to add an MCP server to your configuration. Browse available servers at https://mcp.so — it's a curated directory of high-quality MCP servers. Most Node.js servers run via `pnpm dlx`, e.g.:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
add_mcp_server({ name: "memory", command: "pnpm", args: ["dlx", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-memory"] })
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Do not ask the user to give you credentials. Credentials are managed by the user in the OneCLI agent vault. Add a "placeholder" string instead of the credential, and ask the user to add the credential to the vault. You can make a test request before the secret is added and the vault proxy will respond with the local url of the vault dashboard on the user's machine and a link to a form for adding that specific credential.
