What it does

This skill is an installation guide that teaches an AI agent how to add DeltaChat, an encrypted messaging app that runs over email, as a messaging channel for the NanoClaw agent framework. Once applied, the agent copies a channel adapter into the project, installs a pinned DeltaChat library, and logs into a dedicated email account so users can message the agent from the DeltaChat app in direct chats or groups. It also explains how to link users to the bot and wire chats to agents.

Great for

  • Developers running NanoClaw who want a DeltaChat or email-based chat front end for their agent
  • Teams that want a dedicated bot email account reachable through end-to-end encrypted messaging

Skip it if

  • Users who do not already run the NanoClaw project, since the steps assume its file layout, commands and services
  • Anyone wanting to use a personal email account as the bot account, because the skill stores encryption keys and message data in a local account folder and recommends a dedicated account

Try asking

  • “Add the DeltaChat channel to my NanoClaw project using the add-deltachat skill”
  • “Set up a DeltaChat bot account on my email provider and wire it to my first agent”
  • “Show me how to get the DeltaChat invite link and QR code for my bot”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Use a dedicated bot email account and check providers.delta.chat before choosing a provider, since not all providers work well
  • Keep DC_PASSWORD in .env only and never commit it; review the copied adapter code and the pinned package before running the build and service
