Skills that I use with Nanobot (Openclaw alternative that I'm using)

I'm using Nanobot (alternative to OpenClaw) which is installed on an old Intel Macbook Pro from 2015. If you want to set it up, I have detailed installation instructions for nanobot in another blogpost.

This blogpost is an ever growing list of skills that I use with Nanobot, I will try to update this list periodically.

Note: None of these skills require a paid API key or any subscription (except $20 Codex subscription that is used with Nanobot). This is intentional as I wanted to keep the costs as low as possible and be able run this Nanobot instance indefinitely.

Github Search - Search repos on Github

• https://clawhub.ai/linshengli/github-search - Search repos on Github (e.g. "Search github for projects that fine tune a LLM model on Mac"). No auth token needed.

Superpowers Brainstorming - AI asks questions on ideas to refine product spec

• https://clawhub.ai/axelhu/superpowers-brainstorming - obra/superpowers stolen/adapted as a nanobot skill. I primarily use it to brainstorm on vibe coding ideas (i.e. I give it a one liner idea, and AI asks me questions repeatedly to refine the idea by covering corner cases as well as vague or conflicting requirements).

X Tweet Fetcher - Fetch tweets from X

• https://clawhub.ai/hjw21century/x-tweet-fetcher: Fetch tweets from X. At some point, I want want to find (or vibe code) an alternative that can also fetch top replies to tweets, but this is what I use for now. No auth token needed.

Youtube Factory - Make youtube videos

• https://clawhub.ai/mayank8290/youtube-factory - Make youtube videos. Only a Pexels API key is required which is free. The videos are not very good, but as a Proof of Concept, it interesting. I think the skill asks AI to write a script for the video, and then it downloads stock free footage from Pexels related to keywords in the script and uses ffmpeg to make the video (and edge tts for the audio narration of script). Works mainly for motivational videos like "Importance of hardwork" or "How to be productive".
