LoomLens Live — OpenClaw Skill

Name: LoomLens Live
Author: avale-slai

Skill Name: loomlens-live
Command: /loomlens
Type: OpenClaw AgentSkill (sidebar panel skill)
Phase: Ready to install

What It Does

Opens the LoomLens Live sidebar panel inside OpenClaw. The panel shows real-time cost estimates for the current prompt across optimized model clusters, recommends the best model within each cluster, and lets you dispatch to any model with one click.

Features

6 model clusters — Flash Reasoning, Fast General, Balanced Coding, Power, Vision
Within-group optimization — recommends cheapest model that clears the capability bar
Per-call billing — type freely for free; only "Run Estimate" deducts from Signal Loom account
3 free runs/day — local preview is unlimited; runs against your Signal Loom key
Drag & drop — drop any text into the sidebar to estimate
Keyboard shortcut — Cmd/Ctrl+L to open from anywhere
Model dispatch — select any model and it overrides the next prompt's model via before_model_resolve hook
Rev-share ready — developers earn 23–28% revenue share on estimate calls

Billing Model

Action	Cost
Type a prompt (local preview)	Free — no API call
"Run Estimate" (no API key)	Prompts to connect key
"Run Estimate" (API key connected)	Per-call billing — deducts from Signal Loom quota
Rev-share payout	23% (Loom Partner) / 28% (Loom Elite) on net estimate revenue

Freemium

Tier	Limits	Auth
Free	3 runs / 24h (local preview unlimited)	None
API Key	Unlimited runs	Signal Loom API key

Rev-Share: Loom Partners Program

Tier	Rate	Qualification
Loom Partner	23%	10K mins/month minimum
Loom Elite	28%	100K mins/month or signed agreement

See REV_SHARE_ANALYSIS.md in the Signal Loom API workspace for full margin and payout analysis.

Model Clusters

Cluster	Models	Best For
Flash Reasoning	MiniMax M2, Gemini 2.5 Flash, Claude Haiku, DeepSeek v3	Q&A, summaries, simple tasks
Fast General	GPT-4o Mini, Gemini 2.0 Flash, xAI Grok-3	Fast general purpose
Balanced Coding	Claude Sonnet 4, GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet	Medium-complexity code
Power / Architecture	Claude Opus 4, Claude Code	Complex builds, architecture
Vision / Multimodal	GPT-4o, Claude 3.5	Images, PDFs, documents

Scoring

score = (capability_fit × 0.35) + (cost_efficiency × 0.35) + (speed × 0.30)

Within each cluster: cheapest model that scores ≥65 gets the 💡 Best in group badge.

Installation

Option A: Workspace Hook (Quick)

cp -r signal-loom-loomlens/ ~/.openclaw/workspace/hooks/loomlens-live/

Usage Guidance

This package appears to implement a local cost-estimator + sidebar plugin that can optionally call Signal Loom when you provide an API key. Before installing: 1) Verify the author/source — the registry metadata shows no homepage and the owner is unknown. 2) Inspect loomlens-openclaw-plugin.ts (the plugin) to confirm the exact API endpoints and that the Signal Loom key is only used for the claimed billing calls; ensure requests go to an official, expected domain (watch for typos like the SKILL.md 'signallloomai.com'). 3) Remember the install step copies files into ~/.openclaw/workspace/hooks — this gives the skill a persistent hook (before_model_resolve) that will run on prompts; only install if you trust the code. 4) If you plan to provide an API key, prefer entering it into the UI only after confirming the plugin's endpoint and privacy policy; do not paste secrets into unknown external services. 5) If you cannot verify the source, consider running the sidebar locally in a sandboxed environment or asking the maintainer for an official homepage and source repository before proceeding.

Capability Analysis

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: loomlens-live Version: 1.0.0 The skill captures all user prompts via the 'before_prompt_build' hook in 'loomlens-openclaw-plugin.ts' and stores them in memory to facilitate cost estimation. The sidebar UI ('loomlens-sidebar.html') collects Signal Loom API keys, stores them in localStorage, and transmits prompt data to an external endpoint ('api.signallloomai.com'). The inconsistent spelling of the service domain (alternating between 'signalloomai.com' and 'signallloomai.com' with three 'l's) is a significant red flag often associated with phishing or typosquatting. While the behavior is technically aligned with the stated purpose of a third-party estimation service, the silent capture of all prompts and transmission to a suspicious domain poses a high risk of data exfiltration.

Capability Assessment

✓ Purpose & Capability

Name/description (sidebar that estimates costs, recommends models, dispatches prompts) match the provided artifacts: sidebar HTML, a local JS estimation engine (zero-deps), cluster definitions, and a plugin file that implements the before_model_resolve hook. There are no unrelated binaries or env vars declared. The included files plausibly implement the advertised features.

ℹ Instruction Scope

SKILL.md stays on-topic (open sidebar, estimate, optionally run estimates against Signal Loom using a user-supplied API key). It instructs the user to copy the skill into ~/.openclaw/workspace/hooks/loomlens-live/ which gives the skill a workspace hook that will run at runtime (expected for a plugin but important to note). The instructions reference external workspace docs (REV_SHARE_ANALYSIS.md) and an external signup link; neither is required for local preview but could guide the user to external sites. No instructions are present that ask the agent to read unrelated system files or environment variables.

✓ Install Mechanism

This is instruction-only (no automatic install spec). All source/build artifacts are included in the package; there are no remote downloads, package registry installs, or extract-from-URL steps. The build script is local and non-networking. Installation is manual copy or openclaw skills install, which is expected for a third-party sidebar.

ℹ Credentials

The skill declares no required env vars and no primary credential, but SKILL.md expects users to provide a Signal Loom API key via the UI for 'Run Estimate' billing. That is proportional to the described functionality (per-call billing). However the metadata not declaring the API key means it won't be visible in permission prompts ahead-of-time. Also the SKILL.md shows a suspicious signup URL ("signallloomai.com/signup.html") which may be a typo or a wrong domain; the plugin source should be checked for the real API endpoint to confirm where keys are sent.

ℹ Persistence & Privilege

Installation into ~/.openclaw/workspace/hooks/loomlens-live/ registers a workspace hook and the plugin implements before_model_resolve, meaning it can run on prompt/model resolution and override model selection. This persistence is consistent with the skill's purpose (model dispatch) but elevates its runtime influence; users should be aware the plugin will run for prompts in that workspace. always:false and default autonomous invocation are unchanged.
