From the SKILL.md

# Add Signal Channel Adds Signal support via a native adapter that speaks JSON-RPC to a [signal-cli](https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli) daemon — no Chat SDK bridge, only Node.js builtins. NanoClaw links to Signal as a *secondary device* on your existing phone: no new number, no bot API. Your assistant sends and receives as the number on the phone that scans the link. ## Apply ### 1. Install signal-cli NanoClaw talks to Signal through signal-cli, which has no bot API of its own. Install it if it isn't on PATH yet — Homebrew on macOS, the native release binary on Linux (neither needs Java). If it's already installed this is a no-op: ```nc:run effect:external command -v signal-cli >/dev/null 2>&1 || bash setup/install-signal-cli.sh ``` ### 2. Copy the adapter and its registration test Fetch the `channels` branch and copy the Signal adapter and its registration test into `src/channels/` (overwrite — the branch is canonical): ```nc:copy from-branch:channels src/channels/signal.ts src/channels/signal-registration.test.ts ``` ### 3. Register the adapter Append the self-registration import to the channel barrel (skipped if the line is already present). This one line is the skill's only r

About this skill
What does the add-signal skill do?

Add Signal channel integration via signal-cli device-link. Native adapter — no Chat SDK bridge.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add nanocoai/nanoclaw --skill add-signal --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From nanocoai/nanoclaw, a repository with 30,426 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
