Route a NanoClaw agent group to a local Ollama model instead of the Anthropic API. Ollama speaks the Anthropic API natively (v1/messages), so no provider code changes are needed — just env var overrides and a model setting. Use when the user wants to run their agent locally, cut API costs, or experiment with open-weight models. See docs/ollama.md for background.

Alternatives are matched on overlapping names, descriptions, tags and SKILL.md sections, weighted by how rare each term is across the catalog. Data refreshed weekly from GitHub.
The alternatives
Use Codex (OpenAI's codex app-server) as a full agent provider — planning, tool orchestration, MCP tools, server-side history, session resume — alongside or instead of Claude. ChatGPT subscription or OpenAI API key, vault-only via OneCLI. Per-group via `ncl groups config update --provider codex`. Distinct from using OpenAI as an MCP tool (where Claude remains the planner).
Use OpenCode as an agent provider. OpenRouter, OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek, etc. via OpenCode config — not the Anthropic Agent SDK. Per group via `ncl groups config update --provider opencode`; host passes OPENCODE_* and XDG mount when spawning containers.
