StartClaw-Optimizer

Master optimization system - APPLIES TO EVERY RESPONSE. Before responding, classify task complexity (simple question vs analysis vs coding). Use Haiku for simple/navigation/extraction/status. Use Sonnet ONLY for writing/analysis/planning/debugging. Monitor context size - if >50k tokens, recommend /compact. For automations, use scheduler wrapper. Never load full conversation history for simple tasks. Heartbeats always Haiku, single-line only. Never use Opus. This skill MUST run before every response to prevent 100k+ token bloat.

OpenClaw Optimizer Skill

Overview

The OpenClaw Optimizer is a comprehensive performance and cost optimization skill designed to enhance the efficiency of Clawdbot's subagent workflows.

Core Components

1. Task Router

• Intelligent model selection based on task complexity
• Automatic routing between Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus models
• Cost prediction and optimization

2. Scheduler

• Robust task execution with retry mechanism
• Configurable preflight and postflight hooks
• Timeout and exponential backoff handling

3. Browser Governor

• Browser tab serialization
• Concurrent tab management
• Circuit breaker for preventing runaway processes

4. Context Compaction

• Automatic token tracking
• Summarization at 50,000 token threshold
• Preserves critical context

5. Real-time Dashboard

• Monitor daily budget
• Track task execution
• Visualize model distribution
• Circuit breaker status

Expected Savings

Before Optimization: $90/day After Optimization: $3-5/day Savings: 95%

Installation

npm install @startclaw/openclaw-optimizer

Usage

const { TaskRouter, OptimizerScheduler, BrowserGovernor } = require('@startclaw/openclaw-optimizer');

const router = new TaskRouter();
const scheduler = new OptimizerScheduler();
const browserGovernor = new BrowserGovernor();

// Automatic model and cost optimization
const modelSelection = router.selectModel(taskDescription);
await scheduler.execute(task, modelSelection);

Monitoring

# Real-time dashboard
python3 scripts/dashboard.py watch
