init-onecli	Install and initialize OneCLI Agent Vault. Migrates existing .env credentials to the vault. Use after /update-nanoclaw brings in OneCLI as a breaking change, or for first-time OneCLI setup.

Initialize OneCLI Agent Vault

This skill installs OneCLI, configures the Agent Vault gateway, and migrates any existing .env credentials into it. Run this after /update-nanoclaw introduces OneCLI as a breaking change, or any time OneCLI needs to be set up from scratch.

Principle: When something is broken or missing, fix it. Don't tell the user to go fix it themselves unless it genuinely requires their manual action (e.g. pasting a token).

Phase 1: Pre-flight

Check if OneCLI is already working

onecli version 2>/dev/null

If the command succeeds, OneCLI is installed. Check if the gateway is reachable:

curl -sf http://127.0.0.1:10254/health

If both succeed, check for an Anthropic secret:

onecli secrets list

If an Anthropic secret exists, tell the user OneCLI is already configured and working. Use AskUserQuestion:

1. Keep current setup — description: "OneCLI is installed and has credentials configured. Nothing to do."
2. Reconfigure — description: "Start fresh — reinstall OneCLI and re-register credentials."

If they choose to keep, skip to Phase 5 (Verify). If they choose to reconfigure, continue.

Check for native credential proxy

grep "credential-proxy" src/index.ts 2>/dev/null

If startCredentialProxy is imported, the native credential proxy skill is active. Tell the user: "You're currently using the native credential proxy (.env-based). This skill will switch you to OneCLI's Agent Vault, which adds per-agent policies and rate limits. Your .env credentials will be migrated to the vault."

Use AskUserQuestion:

1. Continue — description: "Switch to OneCLI Agent Vault."
2. Cancel — description: "Keep the native credential proxy."

If they cancel, stop.

Check the codebase expects OneCLI

grep "@onecli-sh/sdk" package.json

If @onecli-sh/sdk is NOT in package.json, the codebase hasn't been updated to use OneCLI yet. Tell the user to run /update-nanoclaw first to get the OneCLI integration, then retry /init-onecli. Stop here.

Phase 2: Install OneCLI

Install the gateway and CLI

curl -fsSL onecli.sh/install | sh
curl -fsSL onecli.sh/cli/install | sh

Verify: onecli version

If the command is not found, the CLI was likely installed to ~/.local/bin/. Add it to PATH:

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
grep -q '.local/bin' ~/.bashrc 2>/dev/null || echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
grep -q '.local/bin' ~/.zshrc 2>/dev/null || echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

Re-verify with onecli version.

Configure the CLI

Point the CLI at the local OneCLI instance:

onecli config set api-host http://127.0.0.1:10254

Set ONECLI_URL in .env

grep -q 'ONECLI_URL' .env 2>/dev/null || echo 'ONECLI_URL=http://127.0.0.1:10254' >> .env

Wait for gateway readiness

The gateway may take a moment to start after installation. Poll for up to 15 seconds:

for i in $(seq 1 15); do
  curl -sf http://127.0.0.1:10254/health && break
  sleep 1
done

If it never becomes healthy, check if the gateway process is running:

ps aux | grep -i onecli | grep -v grep

If it's not running, try starting it manually: onecli start. If that fails, show the error and stop — the user needs to debug their OneCLI installation.

Phase 3: Migrate existing credentials

Scan .env for credentials to migrate

Read the .env file and look for these credential variables:

.env variable	OneCLI secret type	Host pattern
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY	anthropic	api.anthropic.com
CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN	anthropic	api.anthropic.com
ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN	anthropic	api.anthropic.com

Read .env:

cat .env

Parse the file for any of the credential variables listed above.

If credentials found in .env

For each credential found, migrate it to OneCLI:

Anthropic API key (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...):

onecli secrets create --name Anthropic --type anthropic --value <key> --host-pattern api.anthropic.com

Claude OAuth token (CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN=... or ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=...):

onecli secrets create --name Anthropic --type anthropic --value <token> --host-pattern api.anthropic.com

After successful migration, remove the credential lines from .env. Use the Edit tool to remove only the credential variable lines (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN, ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN). Keep all other .env entries intact (e.g. ONECLI_URL, TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN, channel tokens).

Verify the secret was registered:

onecli secrets list

Tell the user: "Migrated your Anthropic credentials from .env to the OneCLI Agent Vault. The raw keys have been removed from .env — they're now managed by OneCLI and will be injected at request time without entering containers."

Offer to migrate other container-facing credentials

After handling Anthropic credentials (whether migrated or freshly registered), scan .env again for remaining credential variables that containers use for outbound API calls.

Important: Only migrate credentials that containers use via outbound HTTPS. Channel tokens (TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN, SLACK_BOT_TOKEN, SLACK_APP_TOKEN, DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN) are used by the NanoClaw host process to connect to messaging platforms — they must stay in .env.

Known container-facing credentials:

.env variable	Secret name	Host pattern
OPENAI_API_KEY	OpenAI	api.openai.com
PARALLEL_API_KEY	Parallel	api.parallel.ai

If any of these are found with non-empty values, present them to the user:

AskUserQuestion (multiSelect): "These credentials are used by container agents for outbound API calls. Moving them to the vault means agents never see the raw keys, and you can apply rate limits and policies."

• One option per credential found (e.g., "OPENAI_API_KEY" — description: "Used by voice transcription and other OpenAI integrations inside containers")
• Skip — keep them in .env — description: "Leave these in .env for now. You can move them later."

For each credential the user selects:

onecli secrets create --name <SecretName> --type api_key --value <value> --host-pattern <host>

If there are credential variables not in the table above that look container-facing (i.e. not a channel token), ask the user: "Is <VARIABLE_NAME> used by agents inside containers? If so, what API host does it authenticate against? (e.g., api.example.com)" — then migrate accordingly.

After migration, remove the migrated lines from .env using the Edit tool. Keep channel tokens and any credentials the user chose not to migrate.

Verify all secrets were registered:

onecli secrets list

If no credentials found in .env

No migration needed. Proceed to register credentials fresh.

Check if OneCLI already has an Anthropic secret:

onecli secrets list

If an Anthropic secret already exists, skip to Phase 4.

Otherwise, register credentials using the same flow as /setup:

AskUserQuestion: Do you want to use your Claude subscription (Pro/Max) or an Anthropic API key?

1. Claude subscription (Pro/Max) — description: "Uses your existing Claude Pro or Max subscription. You'll run claude setup-token in another terminal to get your token."
2. Anthropic API key — description: "Pay-per-use API key from console.anthropic.com."

Subscription path

Tell the user to run claude setup-token in another terminal and copy the token it outputs. Do NOT collect the token in chat.

Once they have the token, AskUserQuestion with two options:

1. Dashboard — description: "Best if you have a browser on this machine. Open http://127.0.0.1:10254 and add the secret in the UI. Use type 'anthropic' and paste your token as the value."
2. CLI — description: "Best for remote/headless servers. Run: onecli secrets create --name Anthropic --type anthropic --value YOUR_TOKEN --host-pattern api.anthropic.com"

API key path

Tell the user to get an API key from https://console.anthropic.com/settings/keys if they don't have one.

AskUserQuestion with two options:

1. Dashboard — description: "Best if you have a browser on this machine. Open http://127.0.0.1:10254 and add the secret in the UI."
2. CLI — description: "Best for remote/headless servers. Run: onecli secrets create --name Anthropic --type anthropic --value YOUR_KEY --host-pattern api.anthropic.com"

After either path

Ask them to let you know when done.

If the user's response happens to contain a token or key (starts with sk-ant- or looks like a token): handle it gracefully — run the onecli secrets create command with that value on their behalf.

After user confirms: verify with onecli secrets list that an Anthropic secret exists. If not, ask again.

Phase 4: Build and restart

npm run build

If build fails, diagnose and fix. Common issue: @onecli-sh/sdk not installed — run npm install first.

Restart the service:

• macOS (launchd): launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/com.nanoclaw
• Linux (systemd): systemctl --user restart nanoclaw
• WSL/manual: stop and re-run bash start-nanoclaw.sh

Phase 5: Verify

Check logs for successful OneCLI integration:

tail -30 logs/nanoclaw.log | grep -i "onecli\|gateway"

Expected: OneCLI gateway config applied messages when containers start.

If the service is running and a channel is configured, tell the user to send a test message to verify the agent responds.

Tell the user:

• OneCLI Agent Vault is now managing credentials
• Agents never see raw API keys — credentials are injected at the gateway level
• To manage secrets: onecli secrets list, or open http://127.0.0.1:10254
• To add rate limits or policies: onecli rules create --help

Troubleshooting

"OneCLI gateway not reachable" in logs: The gateway isn't running. Check with curl -sf http://127.0.0.1:10254/health. Start it with onecli start if needed.

Container gets no credentials: Verify ONECLI_URL is set in .env and the gateway has an Anthropic secret (onecli secrets list).

Old .env credentials still present: This skill should have removed them. Double-check .env for ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN, or ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN and remove them manually if still present.

Port 10254 already in use: Another OneCLI instance may be running. Check with lsof -i :10254 and kill the old process, or configure a different port.
