Init First Agent

Wire the first NanoClaw agent to a channel and verify end-to-end delivery by having the agent DM the operator. Everything the skill does is idempotent, rerunning is safe.

Prerequisites

• Service running. Check: launchctl list | grep "$(. setup/lib/install-slug.sh && launchd_label)" (macOS) or systemctl --user status "$(. setup/lib/install-slug.sh && systemd_unit)" (Linux). If stopped, tell the user to run /setup first.
• Target channel installed. At least one /add-<channel> skill has run, credentials are in .env, and the adapter is uncommented in src/channels/index.ts.
• Adapter connected. Tail logs/nanoclaw.log, look for a recent channel setup / adapter connected line for the target channel.

1. Pick the channel

Read src/channels/index.ts to find enabled channels (uncommented imports). Cross-check .env for the relevant credentials.

AskUserQuestion: "Which channel should host the welcome DM?" with one option per enabled channel (Discord, Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp, Webex, Teams, Google Chat, Matrix, iMessage, Resend, …).

Record the choice as CHANNEL (lowercase, e.g. discord).

2. Ask for the operator's identity

Read the channel's own skill for its ## Channel Info > how-to-find-id section (e.g. .claude/skills/add-discord/SKILL.md, .claude/skills/add-telegram/SKILL.md). Show those instructions to the user in plain text.

Then ask in plain text (NOT AskUserQuestion, these are free-form):

1. Your user id on this channel, e.g. a Discord user ID, Telegram user ID, Slack user ID. Record as USER_HANDLE.
2. Your display name, human name, used to name the agent group (dm-with-<normalized>) and as the welcome-message addressee. Record as DISPLAY_NAME.
3. Agent persona name, the assistant's display name. Default: DISPLAY_NAME. Record as AGENT_NAME.

3. Resolve the DM platform id

This depends on whether the channel supports cold DM via adapter.openDM.
