- description
- Route each incoming message to the right Bankr/OpenClaw model or to a zero-LLM path based on task type, risk, and cost. Use when you need per-message model selection, cost-aware routing, deterministic skill bypasses, or a model recommendation for aaigotchi workflows.
Model Brain
Use this skill when the goal is to choose the right model for a single message or action.
Core policy
- Prefer
zero-llmwhen a deterministic skill or script can do the job. - Use the cheapest adequate model for low-risk work.
- Use
bankr/claude-sonnet-4.5for routine wallet and treasury operations that are important but still normal. - Escalate to
bankr/claude-opus-4.6only for explicitly high-stakes, security-sensitive, or ambiguous wallet flows. - Use
bankr/gpt-5.2-codexfor coding-heavy implementation work. - Keep routing deterministic and rule-based before adding any LLM-on-LLM behavior.
- Treat the output as a routing recommendation, not as transaction authority.
Default routes
zero-llm
- deterministic skills like pet-me-master - shellable tasks with no reasoning need
bankr/minimax-m2.5
- casual chat, lightweight rewriting, simple summaries, low-risk classification
bankr/claude-sonnet-4.5
- general reasoning, planning, product thinking, routine wallet ops
bankr/gpt-5.2-codex
- coding-heavy patching, repo surgery, implementation details
bankr/gemini-3-pro
- long-context synthesis and broad document digestion
bankr/gemini-3-flash
- lightweight vision and quick multimodal triage
bankr/claude-opus-4.6
- explicitly high-stakes wallet actions, security reviews, tricky architecture, final escalation
Routing workflow
- Check whether the request can be handled by a deterministic skill or script.
- Classify the task:
chat,code,wallet,vision,long-context, ordeterministic. - Mark whether the request is high-stakes.
- Route to the cheapest safe model.
- Return the primary route, fallback route, and a short reason.
Quick start
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/route_message.py --text "pet all my 53 gotchis" --json
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/route_message.py --text "rewrite this x thread shorter" --json
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/route_message.py --text "swap ETH to USDC and send to treasury" --json
bash {baseDir}/scripts/select_model.sh --text "build this feature in the repo" --mode summaryWrapper entrypoint
Use scripts/select_model.sh when you want a simple aaigotchi-friendly wrapper before model selection. It can emit just the route, full JSON, or shell-style env lines.
