Before installing, verify NanoTars is set up:
[ -d node_modules ] && echo "DEPS: ok" || echo "DEPS: missing"
docker image inspect nanoclaw-agent:latest &>/dev/null && echo "IMAGE: ok" || echo "IMAGE: not built"
if grep -q "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY\|CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN" .env 2>/dev/null || [ -f "$HOME/.claude/.credentials.json" ]; then echo "AUTH: ok"; else echo "AUTH: missing"; fi
If any check fails, tell the user to run /nanotars-setup first and stop.
Copy plugin files:
cp -r ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/files/ plugins/brave-search/
