What Add Emacs does

Add Emacs wires an Emacs editor into NanoClaw through a local HTTP bridge, opening a chat buffer and org-mode integration for asking questions, code review, and drafting from inside Emacs. Use it when you want to talk to the agent without leaving your editor.

Add Emacs is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Add Emacs comes from a repository tagged ai-agents, ai-assistant, claude-code, claude-skills and openclaw.

README

Excerpt

Add Emacs Channel

Adds Emacs support via a local HTTP bridge. Works with Doom Emacs, Spacemacs, and vanilla Emacs 27.1+.

What you can do with this

Ask while coding — open the chat buffer (C-c n c / SPC N c), ask about a function or error without leaving Emacs
Code review — select a region and send it with nanoclaw-org-send; the response appears as a child heading inline in your org file
Meeting notes — send an org agenda entry; get a summary or action item list back as a child node
Draft writing — send org prose; receive revisions or continuations in place
Research capture — ask a question directly in your org notes; the answer lands exactly where you need it
