使用说明 (SKILL.md)

API Cost Optimizer

Diagnose, estimate, and optimize LLM API costs for OpenClaw agents running 24/7.

What This Skill Does

Estimates API spend from agent configuration (model, heartbeat interval, task complexity)
Diagnoses heartbeat waste — the #1 cause of runaway API bills
Counts and categorizes tools the agent has access to
Produces a cost report with prioritized recommendations
Estimates time-to-payback for any recommended changes

The Problem This Solves

Documented cases show agents burning $8–$250 per week in API costs due to misconfigured heartbeats and inefficient task patterns. A properly tuned heartbeat alone can reduce costs by 60–90%.

Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Default	Description
`API_COST_MODEL`	No	`openai`	Provider: `openai`, `anthropic`, `minimax`, `lmstudio`
`API_COST_INTERVAL`	No	`weekly`	Report interval: `daily`, `weekly`, `monthly`
`HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL`	No	`auto`	Override heartbeat interval in seconds (auto-detect if not set)
`MODEL_PRICE_INPUT`	No	auto	Price per 1M input tokens (auto-selected by provider)
`MODEL_PRICE_OUTPUT`	No	auto	Price per 1M output tokens (auto-selected by provider)

Provider Default Pricing (per 1M tokens)

Provider	Model	Input	Output
OpenAI	GPT-4o	$2.50	$10.00
OpenAI	GPT-4o-mini	$0.15	$0.60
OpenAI	GPT-4-turbo	$10.00	$30.00
Anthropic	Claude 3.5 Sonnet	$3.00	$15.00
Anthropic	Claude 3 Opus	$15.00	$75.00
MiniMax	MiniMax-M2	$0.10	$0.10
MiniMax	MiniMax-M2.1	$0.20	$0.40

Scripts

analyze.sh — Full Cost Analysis

Runs a complete cost diagnostic on the current OpenClaw configuration.

./scripts/analyze.sh

Output: Detailed markdown report with:

Estimated API spend (daily / weekly / monthly)
Heartbeat cost analysis
Tool count risk factor
Top 3 cost reduction recommendations
Estimated savings after optimization

heartbeat_diagnosis.sh — Find Heartbeat Waste

Checks OpenClaw heartbeat configuration and calculates wasted API calls.

./scripts/heartbeat_diagnosis.sh

Output: Heartbeat efficiency score (0–100%), wasted calls per day, estimated annual waste.

estimate.sh — Quick Cost Estimate

One-shot estimate with optional custom parameters.

./scripts/estimate.sh \x3Cheartbeat_seconds> \x3Ctasks_per_day> \x3Cavg_input_tokens> \x3Cavg_output_tokens>

Output: Daily, weekly, and monthly cost estimates for the given parameters.

Cost Reduction Recommendations

Priority order:

Increase heartbeat interval — If heartbeat is under 5 minutes, increase to 10–30 min for idle agents
Switch to cheaper model — MiniMax M2 at $0.10/1M is 25x cheaper than GPT-4o for most tasks
Batch tasks — Run 5–10 tasks per session instead of 1 task per heartbeat cycle
Cache responses — Use memory skills to avoid repeated context
Disable verbose logging — Reduces token churn in long conversations

Usage Example

# Full analysis with MiniMax pricing
export API_COST_MODEL=minimax
./scripts/analyze.sh

# Quick estimate
./scripts/estimate.sh 300 20 8000 2000

# Heartbeat-only diagnosis
./scripts/heartbeat_diagnosis.sh

Notes

Estimates are based on configuration analysis, not live API metering
For actual spend tracking, enable provider cost logs and compare
MiniMax models offer best price/performance for volume workloads
Heartbeat waste is typically the single largest cost lever

安全使用建议

This skill is overall coherent with its stated purpose — it inspects your OpenClaw config and estimates API costs — but before installing or running it, do the following: (1) Review the included shell scripts yourself (they run locally and read files under $HOME/.openclaw). (2) Note a small but important bug: analyze.sh references an undefined variable (TOOL_CALLS_DAY) which will break or produce incorrect tool-overhead calculations; expect some inaccurate outputs until fixed. (3) The package declares curl as required though scripts don't use it — likely a harmless mismatch but a sign of sloppy packaging. (4) Because the scripts read your OpenClaw config files, those files might include API keys or other secrets; run the scripts in a safe environment or inspect the files first if you are concerned about accidental logging or output. (5) There are no network calls in the code, so data should remain local — still verify by inspection. If you lack the expertise, ask the publisher to fix the code issues (undefined variable, remove unused required binaries) and confirm that no telemetry/exfiltration is intended before using on production hosts.

功能分析

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: api-cost-optimizer-kryzl19 Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle is a utility for analyzing and optimizing LLM API costs for the OpenClaw platform. The scripts (analyze.sh, estimate.sh, and heartbeat_diagnosis.sh) function as described, reading local configuration files from ~/.openclaw/ to calculate heartbeat frequency and estimated token usage. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, network activity, or malicious intent; the logic is transparent and strictly aligned with the stated purpose of cost management.

能力评估

ℹ Purpose & Capability

Name/description align with behavior: scripts parse ~/.openclaw configs, count skills, estimate costs and give recommendations — all consistent with cost analysis. Minor mismatch: 'curl' is declared as a required binary but none of the scripts actually call curl.

✓ Instruction Scope

Runtime instructions and scripts stay within the stated scope: they read OpenClaw config files (~/.openclaw/openclaw.json and per-agent JSON), enumerate skill/workspace directories, compute cost estimates, and print recommendations. They do not make network calls or attempt to exfiltrate data.

✓ Install Mechanism

No install spec or remote downloads are present. The skill is instruction-plus-scripts only, so nothing is fetched from external URLs during install.

ℹ Credentials

The skill requests no credentials and only uses optional env vars documented in SKILL.md (API_COST_MODEL, API_COST_INTERVAL, HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL, etc.). However, the scripts read arbitrary files under $HOME/.openclaw which could contain tokens or other sensitive config — this access is consistent with purpose but worth reviewing.

✓ Persistence & Privilege

always:false and no modifications to other skills or global config. Scripts only read files and print reports; they do not persist new credentials or enable themselves.
