What Add Signal does

Add Signal adds a native Signal channel to NanoClaw via signal-cli device-link, so an agent sends and receives messages as your existing phone number. Use it when wiring Signal DMs or groups to an agent group.

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

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Add Signal Channel

Adds Signal support via a native adapter that speaks JSON-RPC to a 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:

command -v signal-cli >/dev/null 2>&1 || bash setup/install-signal-cli.sh

2. Copy the adapter and its registration test

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
