What is NanoClaw?

NanoClaw is an open-source AI assistant that runs each agent in its own Docker container and is built on Anthropic's Claude Agent SDK. It was created as a smaller, easier-to-audit alternative to OpenClaw. It connects to WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, iMessage, and more, and supports per-group memory and recurring jobs.

📦

Container-Based

NanoClaw runs in containers for easy deployment and isolation. Spin up your social media automation agent in seconds with Docker.

💬

🧠

Memory & Context

Schedule recurring tasks with cron jobs. NanoClaw can publish your Hashnode posts on a schedule without you having to ask each time.

How Postiz Works with NanoClaw

NanoClaw discovers Postiz through its skill system. Add the Postiz skill to your NanoClaw fork and the agent reads the SKILL.md to learn every postiz command, then runs them inside its own container when you ask.

✓Install Postiz skill with npx skills add gitroomhq/postiz-agent
✓NanoClaw reads the SKILL.md and learns all Postiz commands
✓Authenticate with postiz auth:login (OAuth device flow) or a POSTIZ_API_KEY
✓Skills are loaded on-demand, keeping the agent context clean
✓Built on Anthropic's Claude Agent SDK, running in an isolated Docker container

Install Postiz

# In your NanoClaw fork: add the Postiz skill
npx skills add gitroomhq/postiz-agent

# Sign in to Postiz (OAuth device flow)
postiz auth:login

# Or use an API key instead
export POSTIZ_API_KEY=your_api_key

# Check the connection

postiz integrations:list

Hashnode Publishing with NanoClaw

🐳

From Any Chat App

WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, or Discord

NanoClaw

You: Post to Hashnode about our new
  feature launch, schedule for tomorrow

Does Postiz work with other agents too?

Postiz works with any AI agent that can run commands or call MCP tools — you ask, the agent does the work. That includes Anthropic's Claude Code.

Claude Code

by Anthropic

Claude reads the Postiz skill so it knows what it can do, then autonomously discovers your Hashnode integration, uploads your cover image, resolves publication and tag IDs, and publishes the post.

Claude Code

  Hashnode with a cover image and tags

Claude: Done! Scheduled on Hashnode for
  tomorrow at 9:00 AM.

Can NanoClaw post to Hashnode and other platforms at once?

Publish the same article to Hashnode and other platforms in a single request. Each platform gets its own settings.

Example

> Post "Excited to announce our new feature!" to
  Hashnode and LinkedIn tomorrow at 9am, then schedule
  a daily tip on Hashnode every weekday at 10am

NanoClaw: Done! Scheduled:
  - Hashnode + LinkedIn: tomorrow 9:00 AM
  - Daily tips on Hashnode: Mon-Fri 10:00 AM

What can I ask NanoClaw to post on Hashnode?

You can ask NanoClaw for anything Postiz supports on Hashnode: a single post, a scheduled batch, or a recurring job. These are prompts you would type in WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, or Discord. @Andy is NanoClaw's default trigger word; use whatever name you gave your agent.

Publish to your blog

Say to NanoClaw

> @Andy publish ~/posts/why-ai-agents.md to my Hashnode blog tomorrow at 9am with the tags ai and devtools

NanoClaw: Sets title, publication, and tags with their IDs, schedules for 9:00 AM.

Cross-post

Say to NanoClaw

> @Andy cross-post the Postiz blog article to Hashnode with cover.png and the canonical URL pointing to postiz.com

NanoClaw: Uploads the cover, sets main_image and canonical, publishes to your publication.

Find tag IDs

Say to NanoClaw

> @Andy which Hashnode tags can I use for a Docker article?

NanoClaw: Runs postiz integrations:settings and lists matching tags with IDs.

What should I know before posting to Hashnode from NanoClaw?

Hashnode has a few rules that Postiz enforces at publish time. NanoClaw applies them when you mention them in plain language, and asks when a required value is missing.

✓title must be at least 6 characters, and publication and tags are required. Every Hashnode post needs at least one tag with a valid tag ID.
✓Tags are passed as [{value: tagId, label}] objects. NanoClaw can look up tag IDs with postiz integrations:settings.
✓Set canonical to the original URL when cross-posting so search engines credit your primary blog.
✓The cover image (main_image) is uploaded through Postiz and passed as {id, path}. The subtitle is optional but needs 2+ characters if set.

Frequently asked questions about NanoClaw and Hashnode

How do I publish to Hashnode from NanoClaw?

Add the Postiz skill to NanoClaw with npx skills add gitroomhq/postiz-agent, authenticate with postiz auth:login, and connect Hashnode in Postiz. Then send NanoClaw the article with a title, at least one tag, and a time. It picks your publication, resolves tag IDs, and schedules the post through Postiz.

Why does NanoClaw ask for a tag before publishing to Hashnode?

Hashnode requires at least one tag on every post, and Postiz enforces it. NanoClaw needs the tag's ID, not just its name, so it runs postiz integrations:settings to look up matching tags and asks you to confirm if the name is ambiguous. Once confirmed, it fills the tags array.

Can NanoClaw set a canonical URL on Hashnode posts?

Yes. Tell NanoClaw where the article was first published and it sets the canonical field. Hashnode then marks the post as originally published elsewhere and points search engines to your primary blog. This is the right approach when you syndicate content to Hashnode from your own site.

Can NanoClaw publish to multiple Hashnode publications?

Yes, if you have connected each publication in Postiz. Name the publication in your message and NanoClaw selects the matching integration and publication ID. Each publication is its own channel in postiz integrations:list, so you can also schedule the same article to two blogs in one request.

Does NanoClaw need my Hashnode API token?

You add your Hashnode token once when connecting Hashnode in the Postiz dashboard, and Postiz stores it. NanoClaw never sees it. NanoClaw authenticates to Postiz only, with postiz auth:login or a POSTIZ_API_KEY inside its container, and Postiz makes the Hashnode API calls.

Post to other platforms from NanoClaw
