Token Optimizer for OpenClaw

Slash your AI costs from $1,500+/month to under $50/month.

The Problem

OpenClaw defaults prioritize capability over cost. You're burning expensive Sonnet/Opus tokens on tasks Haiku handles perfectly, paying for API heartbeats that could run free locally, and loading 50KB of context when 8KB suffices.

The Solution

Four core optimizations plus powerful tooling:

Model Routing (92% savings)

Haiku by default, Sonnet/Opus only when needed

Multi-Provider Heartbeats (100% savings)

Route heartbeats to Ollama, LM Studio, Groq, or disable entirely. Not locked to one provider.

Session Management (80% savings)

Load 8KB instead of 50KB context

Caching (90% savings)

Reuse prompts at 10% cost

New in v1.0.8

  • Rollback - List and restore config backups instantly
  • Health Check - Quick system status in one command
  • Diff Preview - See exactly what changes before applying
  • --no-color - CI/pipeline friendly output

    • Cost Comparison

    | Period | Before | After | |--------|--------|-------| | Daily | $2-3 | $0.10 | | Monthly | $70-90 | $3-5 | | Yearly | $800+ | $40-60 |

    What's Included

  • One-command optimizer with diff preview
  • Multi-provider heartbeat (Ollama, LM Studio, Groq)
  • Config rollback and health check commands
  • Ready-to-use config templates
  • SOUL.md & USER.md templates
  • Optimization rules for agent prompts
  • Verification and savings reports

    • What This Tool Modifies

    All changes are written under ~/.openclaw/. A backup is created before any modification.

    | Path | Purpose | |------|---------| | ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json | Main OpenClaw config (model routing, heartbeat, budgets) | | ~/.openclaw/backups/ | Timestamped config backups (created automatically) | | ~/.openclaw/workspace/ | Template files (SOUL.md, USER.md, IDENTITY.md) | | ~/.openclaw/prompts/ | Agent prompt optimization rules | | ~/.openclaw/token-optimizer-stats.json | Usage stats for savings reports |

    Safe by default - All commands run in dry-run (preview) mode. Pass --apply to write changes.
