Legacy Memory Migration (NanoClaw)

A careful runbook for moving legacy NanoClaw and Claude-native memory into the shared memory/ tree with quarantine, reporting, and rollback.

What it does

Migrates pre-shared-memory files into the unified groups/<folder>/memory/ tree.

  • Inventories each group for .seed.md, CLAUDE.md, CLAUDE.local.md, Claude auto-memory dirs, and unindexed imported-agent-memory.md
  • Opens a safe maintenance window by pausing scheduled task series and stopping the group container
  • Runs a content-blind staging phase using atomic, collision-safe renames; symlinks are quarantined, never followed
  • Then the invoking harness reads staged files as untrusted data, splitting standing instructions into instructions.prepend.md and durable facts into indexed concept files with OKF frontmatter
  • Ends with a source-to-destination report, a verification checklist, and an exact reverse rollback

Who it's for

  • NanoClaw operators hit by the shared-memory breaking change ("the agent forgot everything")
  • Teams switching providers who need memory to carry over
  • Anyone who wants migration without accidental overwrites

Examples

  1. Say "migrate memory" → get the affected-group list plus collision/symlink status, approve, then migrate group by group
  2. After an update flags the shared-memory change → pause pending task series, migrate, resume only the series you paused
  3. A legacy CLAUDE.md turns out to be a symlink → only the link is moved to quarantine, target untouched, and you're offered three plain-language options

Try it now, no install

Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.

Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nanocoai/nanoclaw/HEAD/.claude/skills/migrate-memory/SKILL.md

What I want: (describe your task here)

If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.

↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.

Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
  1. Download the ZIP with the button below.
  2. In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
  3. Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
↓ Download ZIP
Install in Claude Code

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on AI Skill Mart.
Copy the .claude/skills/migrate-memory folder from the GitHub repo nanocoai/nanoclaw into my ~/.claude/skills/migrate-memory/.
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 /tmp/nanoclaw && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/nanoclaw/.claude/skills/migrate-memory ~/.claude/skills/

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

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/nanocoai/nanoclaw.git /tmp/nanoclaw
  3. Create the skills folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy the skill: cp -r /tmp/nanoclaw/.claude/skills/migrate-memory ~/.claude/skills/
  5. If you already work inside the NanoClaw repo, you can use .claude/skills/migrate-memory as-is.
  6. Restart Claude Code and type "migrate memory" to confirm the skill loads.
  7. Before running it, verify the ncl CLI works and back up your group data.
