gavrielc a3376c25df docs(channel-skills): rewrite all 13 /add-*-v2 skills for copy-from-channels-branch pattern
Each skill now:
- Pre-flight: checks for file present + import line + dep listed (idempotent)
- git fetch origin channels
- git show origin/channels:<paths> > <paths> to copy adapter (and helpers/tests/setup-step where applicable)
- Append `import './<chan>.js';` to src/channels/index.ts
- pnpm install <pkg>@<pinned-version>
- pnpm run build

Telegram additionally copies 4 helper/test files + setup/pair-telegram.ts
and registers `'pair-telegram':` in setup/index.ts STEPS.

WhatsApp (native) additionally copies setup/whatsapp-auth.ts and
registers `'whatsapp-auth':` in setup/index.ts STEPS, installs
@whiskeysockets/baileys + qrcode + @types/qrcode pinned.

All credential / next-steps / channel-info / troubleshooting sections
preserved verbatim.

add-gchat-v2 Add Google Chat channel integration to NanoClaw v2 via Chat SDK.

Add Google Chat Channel

Adds Google Chat support to NanoClaw v2 using the Chat SDK bridge.

Install

v2 trunk doesn't ship channels. This skill copies the Google Chat adapter in from the channels branch.

Pre-flight (idempotent)

Skip to Credentials if all of these are already in place:

  • src/channels/gchat.ts exists
  • src/channels/index.ts contains import './gchat.js';
  • @chat-adapter/gchat is listed in package.json dependencies

Otherwise continue. Every step below is safe to re-run.

1. Fetch the channels branch

git fetch origin channels

2. Copy the adapter

git show origin/channels:src/channels/gchat.ts > src/channels/gchat.ts

3. Append the self-registration import

Append to src/channels/index.ts (skip if the line is already present):

import './gchat.js';

4. Install the adapter package (pinned)

pnpm install @chat-adapter/gchat@4.26.0

5. Build

pnpm run build

Credentials

  1. Go to Google Cloud Console
  2. Create or select a project
  3. Enable the Google Chat API
  4. Go to Google Chat API > Configuration:
    • App name and description
    • Connection settings: select HTTP endpoint URL and set to https://your-domain/webhook/gchat
  5. Create a Service Account:
    • Go to IAM & Admin > Service Accounts > Create Service Account
    • Grant the Chat Bot role
    • Create a JSON key and download it

Configure environment

Add the service account JSON as a single-line string to .env:

GCHAT_CREDENTIALS={"type":"service_account","project_id":"...","private_key":"...","client_email":"..."}

Sync to container: mkdir -p data/env && cp .env data/env/env

Next Steps

If you're in the middle of /setup, return to the setup flow now.

Otherwise, run /manage-channels to wire this channel to an agent group.

Channel Info

  • type: gchat
  • terminology: Google Chat has "spaces." A space can be a group conversation or a direct message with the bot.
  • how-to-find-id: Open the space in Google Chat, look at the URL — the space ID is the segment after /space/ (e.g. spaces/AAAA...). Or use the Google Chat API to list spaces.
  • supports-threads: yes
  • typical-use: Interactive chat — team spaces or direct messages
  • default-isolation: Same agent group for spaces where you're the primary user. Separate agent group for spaces with different teams or sensitive contexts.
