# Send Freeride to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
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. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
```

## Documentation

### What This Skill Does

Configures OpenClaw to use free AI models from OpenRouter. Sets the best free model as primary, adds ranked fallbacks so rate limits don't interrupt the user, and preserves existing config.

### Prerequisites

Before running any FreeRide command, ensure:

OPENROUTER_API_KEY is set. Check with echo $OPENROUTER_API_KEY. If empty, the user must get a free key at https://openrouter.ai/keys and set it:
export OPENROUTER_API_KEY="sk-or-v1-..."
# Or persist it:
openclaw config set env.OPENROUTER_API_KEY "sk-or-v1-..."



The freeride CLI is installed. Check with which freeride. If not found:
cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/free-ride
pip install -e .

### Primary Workflow

When the user wants free AI, run these steps in order:

# Step 1: Configure best free model + fallbacks
freeride auto

# Step 2: Restart gateway so OpenClaw picks up the changes
openclaw gateway restart

That's it. The user now has free AI with automatic fallback switching.

Verify by telling the user to send /status to check the active model.

### Commands Reference

CommandWhen to use itfreeride autoUser wants free AI set up (most common)freeride auto -fUser wants fallbacks but wants to keep their current primary modelfreeride auto -c 10User wants more fallbacks (default is 5)freeride listUser wants to see available free modelsfreeride list -n 30User wants to see all free modelsfreeride switch <model>User wants a specific model (e.g. freeride switch qwen3-coder)freeride switch <model> -fAdd specific model as fallback onlyfreeride statusCheck current FreeRide configurationfreeride fallbacksUpdate only the fallback modelsfreeride refreshForce refresh the cached model list

After any command that changes config, always run openclaw gateway restart.

### What It Writes to Config

FreeRide updates only these keys in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

agents.defaults.model.primary — e.g. openrouter/qwen/qwen3-coder:free
agents.defaults.model.fallbacks — e.g. ["openrouter/free", "nvidia/nemotron:free", ...]
agents.defaults.models — allowlist so /model command shows the free models

Everything else (gateway, channels, plugins, env, customInstructions, named agents) is preserved.

The first fallback is always openrouter/free — OpenRouter's smart router that auto-picks the best available model based on the request.

### Watcher (Optional)

For auto-rotation when rate limited, the user can run:

freeride-watcher --daemon    # Continuous monitoring
freeride-watcher --rotate    # Force rotate now
freeride-watcher --status    # Check rotation history

### Troubleshooting
