# About Your NanoClaw fork drifts from upstream as you customize it. This skill pulls upstream changes into your install without losing your modifications. Run `/update-nanoclaw` in Claude Code. ## How it works **Preflight**: checks for clean working tree (`git status --porcelain`). If `upstream` remote is missing, asks you for the URL (defaults to `https://github.com/nanocoai/nanoclaw.git`) and adds it. Detects the upstream branch name (`main` or `master`). **Backup**: creates a timestamped backup branch and tag (`backup/pre-update-<hash>-<timestamp>`, `pre-update-<hash>-<timestamp>`) before touching anything. Safe to run multiple times. **Preview**: runs `git log` and `git diff` against the merge base to show upstream changes since your last sync. Groups changed files into categories: - **Skills** (`.claude/skills/`): unlikely to conflict unless you edited an upstream skill - **Host source** (`src/`): may conflict if you modified the same files - **Container** (`container/`): triggers container rebuild - **Build/config** (`package.json`, `pnpm-lock.yaml`, `tsconfig*.json`): lockfile changes trigger dep install **Update paths** (you pick one): - `merge` (default): `git merge upstr

What does the update-nanoclaw skill do?
Efficiently bring upstream NanoClaw updates into a customized install, with preview, selective cherry-pick, and low token usage.
How do I install it?

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.
