nostr-nak

name: nostr-nak description: General purpose skill for using the Nostr Army Knife (nak) CLI tool with PTY support.

General purpose skill for using the Nostr Army Knife (nak) CLI tool.

Critical Technical Note (PTY Requirement)

nak hangs in non-interactive environments due to stdout buffering. Always wrap nak commands in script to force a pseudo-TTY: script -q -c "nak req ..." /dev/null | cat

Relay Logic

By default, use discovery relays if no relay is specified:

wss://relay.damus.io
wss://relay.primal.net
wss://relay.nostr.band

If the user specifies a relay, override these defaults.

Identity Handling

Querying: Use npub... or hex pubkey with the -a flag.
Posting: Use nsec... or hex private key with the --sec flag.

Usage Examples

Fetch last 5 notes: script -q -c "nak req -k 1 -a <npub> <relays> -l 5" /dev/null | cat
