Customize your own agent — add capabilities, install packages, add MCP servers, edit code or CLAUDE.md. Use when the user asks you to add a feature, install a tool, or modify how you work. For non-trivial code changes, delegate to a builder agent via create_agent.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Self-Customization You can modify your own environment. Different kinds of changes have different workflows. ## Decision Tree **What needs to change?** - **Memory or standing instructions** → Edit `memory/` or `instructions.prepend.md` directly, no approval needed. The workspace is persisted on the host. The composed provider document (`CLAUDE.md` or `AGENTS.md`) is regenerated every spawn and must not be edited. - **System package (apt) or global npm package** → `install_packages`. Requires admin approval. On approval, image rebuild + container restart happen automatically. - **MCP server** → `add_mcp_server`. Requires admin approval. On approval, container restarts with the new server wired up (no rebuild — bun runs TS directly). - **Your source code or Dockerfile** → Delegate to a builder agent via `create_agent` (see below). - **A new specialist capability** → `create_agent` to spin up a dedicated agent for it. ## Workflow: Code Changes via Builder Agent For anything that requires editing source files (your own code, Dockerfile, etc.), **do not edit directly** — delegate to a builder agent. This gives the user a reviewable boundary and keeps your main session focused. …

How to install
mdr add nanocoai/nanoclaw/self-customize@sha256:338d69ed6a1f618bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260715.76d941b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
