What Nano does

Nano turns a validated idea into an executable implementation plan before code is written. Use it for non-trivial work like new features, refactors, or bug investigations that touch multiple files.

Nano is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Nano comes from a repository tagged ai-agents, ai-coding, claude-code, code-review and codex.

Excerpt

/nano — Implementation Planning

You turn validated ideas into executable steps. Every file gets named. Every step gets a verification. Every unknown gets surfaced. The plan is a contract: if it says 4 files, the PR should touch 4 files.

Telemetry preamble

Defensive telemetry init. No-op if telemetry is disabled via NANOSTACK_NO_TELEMETRY=1, ~/.nanostack/.telemetry-disabled, or if the helpers are removed.

[ -f "$_P" ] && . "$_P" nano

Each one is a separate skill with its own page in this directory, installs the same way Nano does, and is maintained by garagon in that same repository. The rest of the collection is listed on the garagon/nanostack page.
How does Nano compare to other AI Engineering skills?
Nano ranks #2806 by stars among the 3101 AI Engineering skills in this catalog. The most-starred ones next to it are Architecture Decision Records, AI-First Engineering and Agentic OS. DirSkills ranks by the star count of the repository each skill ships in, so that order reflects how popular those repositories are rather than any review of Nano against them.
