Use Native Credential Proxy

This skill replaces the OneCLI gateway with NanoClaw's built-in credential proxy. Containers get credentials injected via a local HTTP proxy that reads from .env — no external services needed.

Phase 1: Pre-flight

Check if already applied

Check if src/credential-proxy.ts is imported in src/index.ts:

grep "credential-proxy" src/index.ts

If it shows an import for startCredentialProxy, the native proxy is already active. Skip to Phase 3 (Setup).

Check if OneCLI is active

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

If @onecli-sh/sdk appears, OneCLI is the active credential provider. Proceed with Phase 2 to replace it.

If neither check matches, you may be on an older version. Run /update-nanoclaw first, then retry.

Phase 2: Apply Code Changes

Ensure upstream remote

git remote -v

If upstream is missing, add it:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/nanocoai/nanoclaw.git

Merge the skill branch

git fetch upstream skill/native-credential-proxy
git merge upstream/skill/native-credential-proxy || {
  git checkout --theirs pnpm-lock.yaml
  git add pnpm-lock.yaml
  git merge --continue
}

This merges in:

• src/credential-proxy.ts and src/credential-proxy.test.ts (the proxy implementation)
• Restored credential proxy usage in src/index.ts, src/container-runner.ts, src/container-runtime.ts, src/config.ts
• Removed @onecli-sh/sdk dependency
• Restored CREDENTIAL_PROXY_PORT config (default 3001)
• Restored platform-aware proxy bind address detection
• Reverted setup skill to .env-based credential instructions

If the merge reports conflicts beyond pnpm-lock.yaml, resolve them by reading the conflicted files and understanding the intent of both sides.

Update main group CLAUDE.md

Replace the OneCLI auth reference with the native proxy:

In groups/main/CLAUDE.md, replace:

OneCLI manages credentials (including Anthropic auth) — run onecli --help.

with:

The native credential proxy manages credentials (including Anthropic auth) via .env — see src/credential-proxy.ts.

Validate code changes

pnpm install
pnpm run build
pnpm exec vitest run src/credential-proxy.test.ts src/container-runner.test.ts

All tests must pass and build must be clean before proceeding.

Phase 3: Setup Credentials

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, add it to .env:

# Add to .env (create file if needed)
echo 'CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN=<token>' >> .env

Note: ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN is also supported as a fallback.

API key path

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

Add it to .env:

echo 'ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=<key>' >> .env

After either path

If the user's response happens to contain a token or key (starts with sk-ant- or looks like a token): write it to .env on their behalf using the appropriate variable name.

Optional: If the user needs a custom API endpoint, they can add ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=<url> to .env (defaults to https://api.anthropic.com).

Phase 4: Verify

1. Rebuild and restart:

pnpm run build

Then restart the service.

Run from your NanoClaw project root:

• macOS: launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/"$(. setup/lib/install-slug.sh && launchd_label)"
• Linux: systemctl --user restart "$(. setup/lib/install-slug.sh && systemd_unit)"
• WSL/manual: stop and re-run bash start-nanoclaw.sh

2. Check logs for successful proxy startup:

tail -20 logs/nanoclaw.log | grep "Credential proxy"

Expected: Credential proxy started with port and auth mode.

3. Send a test message in the registered chat to verify the agent responds.

4. Note: after applying this skill, the OneCLI credential steps in /setup no longer apply. .env is now the credential source.

Troubleshooting

"Credential proxy upstream error" in logs: Check that .env has a valid ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN. Verify the API is reachable: curl -s https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages -H "x-api-key: test" | head.

Port 3001 already in use: Set CREDENTIAL_PROXY_PORT=<other port> in .env or as an environment variable.

Container can't reach proxy (Linux): The proxy binds to the docker0 bridge IP by default. If that interface doesn't exist (e.g. rootless Docker), set CREDENTIAL_PROXY_HOST=0.0.0.0 as an environment variable.

OAuth token expired (401 errors): Re-run claude setup-token in a terminal and update the token in .env.

Removal

To revert to OneCLI gateway:

1. Find the merge commit: git log --oneline --merges -5
2. Revert it: git revert <merge-commit> -m 1 (undoes the skill branch merge, keeps your other changes)
3. pnpm install (re-adds @onecli-sh/sdk)
4. pnpm run build
5. Follow /setup step 4 to configure OneCLI credentials
6. Remove ANTHROPIC_API_KEY / CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN from .env
