openclaw-model-router

A Claude Code skill that sets up the Manifest LLM router plugin for OpenClaw. Manifest sits between your app and LLM providers, picking the cheapest model that can handle each request.

What it does

• Installs the Manifest plugin into OpenClaw
• Points all LLM traffic through one endpoint (supports 300+ models across Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek, xAI, Mistral, etc.)
• Sets manifest/auto as the default model, which scores and routes requests in under 2ms
• Falls back to alternative models automatically when one goes down or hits a rate limit

Usage

Say any of these to Claude Code:

/install-manifest
install manifest
add manifest plugin
setup model router
