Switch Modes

Switch between AI models dynamically to optimize costs and performance. Use when the user says mode commands like "eco mode", "balanced mode", "smart mode", or "max mode", or when they want to check their current mode with "/modes status" or configure modes with "/modes setup".

This skill appears to do what it says (switch your agent's model by editing OpenClaw config files), but take these precautions before installing: (1) inspect your ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json to confirm it doesn't expose secrets you wouldn't want read or printed by the agent; (2) back up openclaw.json before using the skill so you can restore settings if something goes wrong; (3) consider requesting the skill author set disableModelInvocation:true if you don't want the model to call this skill autonomously; (4) verify whether changes are intended to be session-local or persistent—the SKILL.md is inconsistent on that point; (5) check file permissions on ~/.openclaw to limit unintended access. If you want, I can draft a safer SKILL.md that explicitly avoids printing secrets and documents persistence and invocation behavior.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: switch-modes Version: 1.0.1 The skill is designed to manage and switch AI models by modifying the `model` field in the OpenClaw configuration file (`~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`). While it accesses a file that may contain sensitive API keys, the `SKILL.md` and `REFERENCE.md` instructions explicitly and repeatedly state to 'Only modify the `model` field. Preserve all other settings.' and to 'Always validate JSON before writing config files.' This demonstrates a clear intent to limit actions to the stated purpose and avoid unauthorized data access or modification. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence, or prompt injection attempts within the skill's own instructions.
