Add another Dial number

One NanoClaw install can serve multiple Dial numbers at once. Each number is its own public, threaded line, its own messaging group (platform_id = the Dial number), each remote correspondent a thread inside it, and the agent replies from whichever number a person texted.

This skill is for adding a number to an already-installed Dial channel. Its mechanical steps use nc: directives so an agent and the deterministic skill engine perform the same validated, idempotent workflow.

Pre-flight

Confirm Dial is installed and registered. If this fails, run /add-dial first, then retry:

test -f src/channels/dial.ts && grep -q "import './dial.js';" src/channels/index.ts

Adding another number requires the multi-number adapter, which routes on the line each event arrived on (data.to). If this fails, run /update-skills to refresh the installed adapter, rebuild, and retry:

grep -q "eventLine" src/channels/dial.ts

Resolve the Dial CLI and the install's user-agent token once for every account request below:

command -v dial

node -p "'nanoclaw/'+(require('./package.json').version||'unknown')" 2>/dev/null || echo nanoclaw/unknown

Choose the number

List the account's current numbers:

DIAL_USER_AGENT={{dial_ua}} "{{dial_path}}" number list --json | jq -r 'if (.numbers|length)==0 then "none" else [.numbers[].number] | join(", ") end'

Tell the operator what is available. Buying a number spends account funds, so leave that explicit: if they need a new one, they should purchase it with dial number purchase --inbound-instruction "…" --explicit-programmatic-consent "<account-holder consent attestation>", then enter the returned number below.
