Description
Burn LLM tokens toward a target count to satisfy corporate AI usage KPIs. Trigger when user says: burn tokens, consume tokens, fill KPI, push the boulder, si...
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent but intentionally wasteful: it will make many API calls and can incur significant cost. Before running: 1) Use --dry-run to verify behavior without cost. 2) Use a scoped or test API key (do NOT supply org-wide admin keys). 3) If you use --base-url, only point to endpoints you trust (untrusted endpoints could receive the prompt text). 4) Start with a small target and monitor billing/usage. The registry metadata appears to have a formatting bug for env vars — double-check the env var names in SKILL.md before supplying credentials.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: token-sisyphus
Version: 1.0.2
The 'token-sisyphus' skill is a utility designed to intentionally consume LLM tokens to meet usage quotas. The implementation in `scripts/burn.py` uses official SDKs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) to send harmless prompts from a hardcoded list until a user-specified token target is reached. The code is transparent, lacks any obfuscation, and does not perform unauthorized data exfiltration or system modifications.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the included script and SKILL.md: the tool repeatedly issues chat/generation requests to consume tokens. The env vars and optional SDK installs (OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini) correspond to the providers the skill targets. Note: the registry metadata shows 'Required env vars: [object Object]' which appears to be a formatting/parsing bug but the SKILL.md clearly documents the three provider API env vars.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are narrowly scoped to installing provider SDKs, setting an API key, and running the bundled burn.py. The script does not read unrelated system files or secrets beyond provider API keys. One noteworthy capability: openai provider accepts an arbitrary --base-url, which is useful for compatible providers but means requests can be pointed to custom endpoints—ensure any custom endpoint is trusted to avoid sending data/tokens to an untrusted server.
Install Mechanism
This is instruction-only with a bundled Python script; no remote downloads or archive extraction. It optionally instructs pip installs for provider SDKs (openai, anthropic, google-generativeai), which is typical and low-risk compared to arbitrary downloads. The script will exit with an error if the required SDK is missing at runtime.
Credentials
Only provider API keys (OPENAI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, GEMINI_API_KEY) are used, which is proportional to the stated functionality. These are sensitive credentials that grant billing and API access — the user should prefer scoped/test keys rather than org-wide or admin keys. The SKILL.md marks these env vars optional, but a live run will need one of them (or --api-key) to make real requests.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-on, is user-invocable, and does not request elevated or persistent system privileges or attempt to modify other skills or system-wide agent settings. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default but not combined with other red flags here.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install token-sisyphus - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/token-sisyphus - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.2
Fix: bundle burn.py directly into skill package (no external git clone). Add required env vars (OPENAI/ANTHROPIC/GEMINI API keys) and pip install specs to metadata for full transparency.
v1.0.1
Burn LLM tokens to satisfy your company AI KPI. Supports OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and any OpenAI-compatible API.
