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. 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.
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.
The missing model manager for OpenClaw. Switch models, visualize fallback chains, and manage multi-provider setups.
# Show current model, fallback chain, heartbeat & subagent config bash {baseDir}/scripts/openclaw-switch.sh status # List all available models across all providers bash {baseDir}/scripts/openclaw-switch.sh list # Switch primary model (by number from list) bash {baseDir}/scripts/openclaw-switch.sh switch 2 # Show fallback chain only bash {baseDir}/scripts/openclaw-switch.sh fallback
OpenClaw natively supports model.fallbacks — when the primary model returns an error (429, 500, etc.), the next model in the chain is tried automatically. OpenClaw Switch helps users configure, visualize, and toggle this chain.
Register multiple providers in openclaw.json, each with its own API key: { "models": { "providers": { "provider-a": { "apiKey": "...", "models": [{ "id": "model-1" }] }, "provider-b": { "apiKey": "...", "models": [{ "id": "model-2" }] } } }, "agents": { "defaults": { "model": { "primary": "provider-a/model-1", "fallbacks": ["provider-b/model-2"] } } } }
Same provider, two API keys (e.g. paid + free Gemini) — register as separate providers Cross-provider failover (e.g. Gemini → OpenAI → local Ollama) Cost optimization — route heartbeat/subagents to cheaper or free models
The bundled script: Never transmits API keys or config data over the network Never logs full API keys (masks all but first 8 chars) Uses only bash + python3 stdlib — zero external dependencies Source is < 150 lines — fully auditable in 2 minutes
Agent frameworks, memory systems, reasoning layers, and model-native orchestration.
Largest current source with strong distribution and engagement signals.
