Selects the most cost-effective capable model for tasks, handles rate limit failures gracefully, and supports tier overrides and health checks.
Selects the most cost-effective capable model for tasks, handles rate limit failures gracefully, and supports tier overrides and health checks.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Route tasks to the cheapest capable model. Never crash on rate limits.
When spawning sub-agents or delegating tasks, use ModelRouter to select the optimal model. Trigger phrases: "route this", "spawn a sub-agent", "delegate", or any time you need to choose a model for a task.
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/chitin-core/scripts/router.js route "task description here" Returns JSON: {"tier":"MEDIUM","model":"google-antigravity/gemini-3.1-pro","confidence":0.85,"estimatedCost":0.005,"signals":["codeSignals:2Γ1.2=2.4"]} Use the returned model value in sessions_spawn.
If a spawned session fails with a rate limit or error: node ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/chitin-core/scripts/router.js fail "provider/model" "error message" Then re-route β the failed model will be skipped: node ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/chitin-core/scripts/router.js route "same task"
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/chitin-core/scripts/router.js health
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/chitin-core/scripts/router.js costs
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/chitin-core/scripts/router.js validate

If all models in a tier are rate-limited, the router automatically: Tries adjacent tiers (escalate or downgrade) Falls back to local Ollama if configured Returns structured error with retry time (never crashes)
Edit config.json in the skill directory to: Add/remove models per tier Adjust cost figures Tune classification boundaries
