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.

💬

Multi-Platform Chat

Connect to WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, and more. Message NanoClaw from wherever you already communicate.

🧠

Memory & Context

Schedule recurring tasks with cron jobs. NanoClaw can pin your Pinterest content on a schedule without you having to ask each time.

How Postiz Works with NanoClaw

When you install Postiz Agent globally, NanoClaw automatically discovers it by reading the bundled SKILL.md file. This file tells NanoClaw what commands are available, what environment variables are needed, and how to compose Pinterest pins with the right settings.

✓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 auth:status
postiz integrations:list

Pinterest Pinning with NanoClaw

Message NanoClaw from any platform — it reads the Postiz skill, discovers your Pinterest integration, and handles the entire pinning workflow autonomously.

🐳

From Any Chat App

WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, or Discord

Send a message to NanoClaw from your favorite chat app. It runs as a background service in an isolated container, so it picks up your message, discovers your Pinterest account via Postiz, uploads the image, and creates the pin — all while you go about your day.

NanoClaw

You: Post to Pinterest about our new
  feature launch, schedule for tomorrow
  at 9am

NanoClaw: On it! Here's my plan:
  1. Found your Pinterest integration
  2. Composing your post
  3. Scheduling for tomorrow 9:00 AM

  Done! Your post is scheduled.
  Post ID: abc-123

🐳

Scheduled & Proactive

Recurring jobs, requested in chat

NanoClaw supports recurring jobs you request in chat. Set up a recurring job that checks a folder for new images and pins them to Pinterest automatically — no manual trigger needed.

Recurring job (ask in chat)

> @Andy every weekday at 9am, check
  ~/content/posts for new files and
  schedule each one to Pinterest for
  noon. Move posted files to
  ~/content/published.

NanoClaw: Got it. I'll run this every
  weekday at 9:00 AM and schedule the
  posts through Postiz.

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 Pinterest integration, uploads your image, selects the right board, and creates the pin with your link and branding.

Claude Code

> Pin my new product image to the
  "Spring Collection" board with a link
  to the product page, use brand color

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

Can NanoClaw post to Pinterest and other platforms at once?

Schedule the same image to Pinterest and other platforms in a single request. Each platform gets its own settings.

Example

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

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

What can I ask NanoClaw to post on Pinterest?

You can ask NanoClaw for anything Postiz supports on Pinterest: 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.

Pin to a board

Say to NanoClaw

> @Andy pin the recipe photo to my Weeknight Dinners board tomorrow at 8pm with the title "20-minute pasta" linking to the blog post

NanoClaw: Uploads the image, sets board, title, and link, schedules for 8:00 PM.

Batch pins

Say to NanoClaw

> @Andy pin the five product shots in ~/content/pins to the Spring Collection board, one per day at 9am, each linking to its product page

NanoClaw: Creates five scheduled pins on consecutive days with matching links.

List boards

Say to NanoClaw

> @Andy which Pinterest boards can I pin to?

NanoClaw: Runs postiz integrations:settings and lists your boards with their IDs.

What should I know before posting to Pinterest from NanoClaw?

Pinterest 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.

✓board is required and must be a board ID. NanoClaw can fetch your boards with postiz integrations:settings and match the name you say to its ID.
✓Every pin needs an image. Send the picture in chat or reference a file NanoClaw can read; text-only pins are not possible.
✓The optional title is capped at 100 characters. The link setting sets where the pin sends people when clicked.
✓dominant_color takes a hex code such as #FF6B35 and is optional; it helps Pinterest render a placeholder while the image loads.

Frequently asked questions about NanoClaw and Pinterest

How do I create a Pinterest pin from NanoClaw?

Add the Postiz skill to NanoClaw with npx skills add gitroomhq/postiz-agent, authenticate with postiz auth:login, and connect Pinterest in Postiz. Then send NanoClaw an image with the board name, a title, a destination link, and a time. It uploads the image through Postiz and schedules the pin.

How does NanoClaw know which Pinterest board to use?

Pinterest boards are addressed by ID in Postiz. NanoClaw runs postiz integrations:settings for your Pinterest channel to list your boards, then matches the board name you mention to its ID. If the name is ambiguous or missing, it asks you to pick one before scheduling.

Can NanoClaw add a destination link to a pin?

Yes. Mention the URL and NanoClaw sets it in the link field, so clicking the pin opens that page. This is the main way pins drive traffic. The pin title (up to 100 characters) and description come from your message, and you can ask NanoClaw to write them.

Can NanoClaw schedule a batch of pins over several days?

Yes. Point NanoClaw at a folder of images inside its container workspace and ask for one pin per day at a set time. It uploads each image through Postiz and schedules them on consecutive days, each with its own title and link. Everything shows up in the Postiz calendar for review.

Does NanoClaw need a Pinterest developer app?

No. You connect Pinterest to Postiz with OAuth once, and Postiz holds that connection. NanoClaw authenticates to Postiz with postiz auth:login (OAuth device flow) or a POSTIZ_API_KEY set in its container. There is nothing to register with Pinterest on the NanoClaw side.
