What it does

ClawClip Token Cost Optimizer helps OpenClaw and ZeroClaw users spot token waste before it becomes recurring model spend. It reviews local prompts, transcripts, schemas, or log-heavy task notes and returns an estimated token footprint, cost drivers, clipping plan, and routing hints.

The skill is deterministic and local-only: it does not call models, billing APIs, cloud services, or external networks.

Use cases

• Power users running long sessions who need to reduce repeated context, raw logs, and bloated schemas before handing work to a premium model.
• Team leads managing model budgets who want a simple preflight gate for expensive prompts and transcripts.
• Builders packaging agent workflows who need clear clipping and routing guidance before scaling repeated automation.

Requirements

• OpenClaw v2026.3.23 or later recommended.
• Python 3 with standard library only; no pip dependencies.
• No API keys, billing credentials, model access, or network access required.
• Input: a local prompt, transcript, tool-schema, or session-notes file.

Example usage

python3 scripts/clawclip_cost_optimizer.py --input session-notes.md --json
