What it does

Nano Help is an agent skill from garagon/nanostack. Quick reference for all nanostack commands. Shows available skills, what each one does, and how to use them. Triggers on /nano-help.

Its SKILL.md is about 770 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: A workflow harness that helps AI coding agents plan, review, test, and ship safer code. The licence is Apache-2.0.

Example prompts

“/nano-help”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0372aed. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- make
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Nano Help loads about 767 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 92 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~767

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

/nano-help — Quick Reference

Show the user a concise overview of nanostack. No walls of text. Organized by what they want to do.

Telemetry preamble

Defensive telemetry init. No-op if telemetry is disabled via NANOSTACK_NO_TELEMETRY=1, ~/.nanostack/.telemetry-disabled, or if the helpers are removed.

_P="$HOME/.claude/skills/nanostack/bin/lib/skill-preamble.sh"
[ -f "$_P" ] && . "$_P" nano-help
unset _P

Response

Print this directly:

nanostack
Make your AI agent think first.

What do you want to do?

  Start a brand new project       → /think (or /think --autopilot)
  Add to a project that exists    → /feature <what to add>
  Already wrote code, check it    → /review  (then /security, /qa)
  Ready to save / publish         → /ship
  First time using nanostack      → /nano-run
  Not sure where to start         → /think (it helps you decide)

Reference — every command:

Getting started:
  /nano-run              First-time setup. Configures your project conversationally.
  /nano-help             You are here.

The sprint:
  /think                 Challenge the scope before building.
  /nano                  Plan the implementation. Files, steps, risks.
  build                  You or the agent writes the code.
  /review                Two-pass code review. Scope drift detection.
  /security              OWASP Top 10 + STRIDE audit. Graded A-F.
  /qa                    Test it. Browser, API, CLI, or debug.
  /ship                  Create PR, verify CI, generate sprint journal.

Shortcuts:
  /think --autopilot     Full sprint. Think, plan, build, review, audit, test, ship.
  /feature <description> Add a feature to an existing project with full sprint.

After shipping:
  /compound              Save what you learned. Future sprints find it automatically.

Safety:
  /guard                 Block dangerous commands. /freeze locks edits to a scope.

Team:
  /conductor             Parallel sprints across multiple agents or terminals.

Modes (for /review, /security, /qa):
  --quick                Small changes. Only the obvious.
  --standard             Default. Normal work.
  --thorough             Auth, payments, infra. Flag everything.

Update:
  /nano-update           Pull latest version.
  /nano-doctor           Diagnose install health (deps, perms, telemetry).

github.com/garagon/nanostack

If the user asks about a specific skill, invoke it: use Skill tool with the skill name. Don't explain the skill yourself — let the skill's own SKILL.md handle it.

Telemetry finalize

Before returning control:

bash

_F="$HOME/.claude/skills/nanostack/bin/lib/skill-finalize.sh"
[ -f "$_F" ] && . "$_F" nano-help success
unset _F

Pass abort or error instead of success if help did not complete normally.
