Skill: tommot2/model-pilot (version 2.0.0)

--- name: model-pilot description: "Match task complexity to the right model. Quick heuristic check before expensive tasks — recommends cheaper models when quality won't suffer. Fetches live pricing via web_fetch. Use when: (1) starting an expensive task, (2) 'can a cheaper model do this?', (3) 'is this the right model?', (4) comparing model costs. Homepage: https://clawhub.ai/skills/model-pilot" --- # Model Pilot v2.0 **Install:** `clawhub install model-pilot` Stop overpaying for intelligence. Match every task to the cheapest model that delivers the quality you need. ## Language Detect from user's message language. Default: English. ## When to Activate - User explicitly asks about model choice or cost - A task is starting that will be expensive (agent judgment — don't analyze trivial tasks) - User says "save tokens", "cheaper model", "right model?" **Do NOT activate** for trivial tasks — formatting, greetings, simple lookups. ## Quick Complexity Check Before an expensive task, ask yourself: ``` 1. What is the task? (classify) 2. What model is active? 3. Could a cheaper model handle this equally well? 4. If yes → recommend switch + estimated savings 5. If no → proceed, explain why ``` ### Tier Classification | Tier | Tasks | Model | |------|-------|-------| | 🟢 Routine | Formatting, Q&A, reminders, greetings, file ops | Cheapest available | | 🟡 Intermediate | Email drafting, code review, data analysis, translations | Mid-tier | | 🔴 Complex | Architecture decisions, creative writing, debugging complex issues | Best available | **Signal:** Task needs <1000 output tokens + no creativity = Tier 1. ## Live Pricing Fetch current pricing when user asks about costs: ``` web_fetch https://z.ai/pricing web_search "openai gpt-4o pricing per token" ``` **Do NOT hardcode prices** — they change frequently. Always fetch live. ## Cost Estimation Quick formula: ``` Estimated cost = (input_tokens / 1M × input_price) + (output_tokens / 1M × output_price) ``` Show to user: ``` Model: GLM-5-Turbo Input: ~5K tokens Output: ~2K tokens Estimated cost: ~$0.002 Could use: GLM-4 (~$0.001) — saves ~50% ``` ## Quick Commands | User says | Action | |-----------|--------| | "right model?" | Quick complexity check | | "model cost" | Cost estimate for current task | | "compare models" | Live pricing comparison | | "cheaper option" | Find cheaper model for same task | ## Guidelines for Agent 1. **Don't waste tokens analyzing cheap tasks** — check only for expensive ones 2. **Use live pricing** — never hardcode 3. **Be honest about quality** — if cheaper means worse, say so 4. **Keep it quick** — 5 seconds of thinking max 5. **Match user language** ## What This Skill Does NOT Do - Does NOT switch models automatically — recommends only - Does NOT persist anything - Does NOT access credentials - Does NOT modify any files ## More by TommoT2 - **cross-check** — Auto-detect and verify assumptions in your responses - **context-brief** — Persistent context survival across sessions - **setup-doctor** — Diagnose and fix OpenClaw setup issues Install the full suite: ```bash clawhub install model-pilot cross-check context-brief setup-doctor ```
