Model Router for OpenClaw

Route the right model to the right job. Auto-detects what you have, tells you what to use, adapts when you say "work harder" or "save money."

Security & Privacy

• This skill does NOT read, store, or transmit API keys or credentials. It only reads provider names and model IDs from your gateway config to determine what's available.
• No automatic scanning. All model detection and web searches are user-triggered only. The skill never runs on load or heartbeat unless you explicitly ask.
• Web searches are used to fetch public benchmark data and pricing from model card pages when you add a new provider. This is outbound network activity you should expect.
• Local state: The skill writes model-registry.json to your workspace (benchmark scores, pricing, routing rules). No secrets are stored in this file.

Step 0: Model Registry (Self-Learning)

This skill maintains a living model registry at model-registry.json in the workspace. This is how the router learns about new models automatically.
