NanoClaw Use Cases

Best fits

  • High-stakes personal agent — touches finance docs or customer exports with shell tools
  • Security review environments — need vault + container diagrams
  • Multi-agent split — different containers per trust domain (email vs ops)

Hybrid pattern

Prototype conversational workflows on OpenClaw using this site’s lab notes; move high-risk agents to NanoClaw isolation once prompts/tools stabilize.

Anti-patterns

  • Mounting entire disks “temporarily”
  • Disabling vault “to debug faster” and forgetting
  • Choosing NanoClaw only for stars, then never using containers correctly
