Add Google Chat Channel (NanoClaw)

Copies, registers, and validates the Google Chat adapter for a NanoClaw project, then walks you through Google Cloud credentials.

What it does

  • Pulls the Google Chat adapter (src/channels/gchat.ts) and its registration test from the channels branch into your project.
  • Appends the self-registration import to src/channels/index.ts, skipping it if already present.
  • Installs @chat-adapter/gchat@4.29.0 at an exact pinned version, then builds and runs the registration test.
  • Guides the manual Google Cloud steps (enable Chat API, configure HTTP endpoint, create a Service Account key) and stores the JSON in .env as GCHAT_CREDENTIALS.
  • Explains exposing the shared webhook server on port 3000 and includes a focused troubleshooting section.

Who it's for

  • Teams running NanoClaw agents that need to talk in Google Chat spaces.
  • Engineers who want channel setup expressed as re-runnable, idempotent directives instead of manual edits.
  • Google Workspace admins/developers deploying a chat bot endpoint.

Examples

  1. During /setup, pick Google Chat — the skill copies the adapter, installs the dep, builds, and tests.
  2. Messages never arrive: follow the troubleshooting flow, re-run the registration test, and check the tunnel URL matches the Chat API Configuration.
  3. After rotating a service account key, re-paste the single-line JSON so GCHAT_CREDENTIALS is refreshed and restart the service.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the .claude/skills/add-gchat folder from the GitHub repo nanocoai/nanoclaw into my ~/.claude/skills/add-gchat/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/nanocoai/nanoclaw.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r nanoclaw/.claude/skills/add-gchat ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/nanocoai/nanoclaw.git
  3. Create the skills folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy the skill: cp -r nanoclaw/.claude/skills/add-gchat ~/.claude/skills/
  5. The skill operates on a NanoClaw checkout, so cd nanoclaw and run pnpm install.
  6. Start Claude Code and ask: "Add the Google Chat channel" — it will run the Apply steps in order.
  7. Follow the prose steps in Google Cloud Console: enable the Google Chat API, set the HTTP endpoint URL, create a Service Account and download a JSON key, then paste it as one line when prompted.
  8. Expose port 3000 publicly (e.g. ngrok http 3000) and make sure the Chat API Configuration URL points at /webhook/gchat on that host.
