🔀 OpenRouter Toolkit
The definitive OpenRouter skill for OpenClaw agents. Intelligent model routing, cost tracking, fallback chains, and model comparison — all in one toolkit.
Features
- Smart Routing — Automatically pick the best model for code, reasoning, creative, fast, or cheap tasks
- Cost Tracking — Log every API call with cost, track daily/weekly/monthly spend
- Fallback Chains — If primary model fails or times out, auto-retry with fallbacks
- Model Comparison — Send the same prompt to N models, compare quality and cost side-by-side
- Budget Alerts — Set spending limits and get warned before you blow your budget
- Live Model Data — Pulls real pricing and capabilities from OpenRouter's API
Requirements
OPENROUTER_API_KEY — Your OpenRouter API key- Python 3.10+ with
requests (included in most environments)
Usage
Smart Routing
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/openrouter_toolkit.py route --task code
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/openrouter_toolkit.py route --task reasoning
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/openrouter_toolkit.py route --task creative
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/openrouter_toolkit.py route --task fast
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/openrouter_toolkit.py route --task cheap
Model Comparison
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/openrouter_toolkit.py compare --prompt "Explain recursion" --models "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4,openai/gpt-4o-mini"
Fallback Chain
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/openrouter_toolkit.py fallback --prompt "Hello" --chain "anthropic/claude-opus-4,anthropic/claude-sonnet-4,openai/gpt-4o-mini"
Cost Tracking
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/openrouter_toolkit.py cost --period daily
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/openrouter_toolkit.py cost --period weekly
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/openrouter_toolkit.py cost --period monthly
Budget Alerts
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/openrouter_toolkit.py budget --set 50.00
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/openrouter_toolkit.py budget --check
List Models
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/openrouter_toolkit.py models --top 20
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/openrouter_toolkit.py models --search claude
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/openrouter_toolkit.py models --best code
How Smart Routing Works
The router scores models based on task type using these heuristics:
| Task | Prioritizes | Example Models |
|---|
| code | High context, code benchmarks | Claude Opus, GPT-4o |
| reasoning | Thinking/reasoning capability | Claude Opus, o1 |
| creative | Creative writing quality | Claude Sonnet, GPT-4o |
| fast | Low latency, good enough quality | Claude Haiku, GPT-4o-mini |
| cheap | Lowest cost per token | Gemini Flash, GPT-4o-mini |
Data Storage
Cost logs are stored in SQLite at {baseDir}/data/openrouter_costs.db.
