Freeride OpenClaw Skill - ClawHub
Do you want your AI agent to automate Freeride workflows? This free skill from ClawHub helps with transportation tasks without building custom tools from scratch.
What this skill does
Manages free AI models from OpenRouter for OpenClaw. Automatically ranks models by quality, configures fallbacks for rate-limit handling, and updates openclaw.json. Use when the user mentions free AI, OpenRouter, model switching, rate limits, or wants to reduce AI costs.
Install
npx clawhub@latest install freerideFull SKILL.md

freeride auto
Commands
list - View available models
freeride list # Top 15 models
freeride list -n 30 # More models
freeride list --refresh # Force API refresh
auto - Auto-configure
freeride auto # Best model + 5 fallbacks
freeride auto -f # Fallbacks only (keep current primary)
freeride auto -c 10 # 10 fallbacks
freeride auto --setup-auth # Also configure auth profile
switch - Set specific model
freeride switch qwen3-coder # Set as primary
freeride switch deepseek -f # Add to fallbacks only
freeride switch nvidia/nemotron --no-fallbacks
status - Check configuration
freeride status
fallbacks - Update fallbacks only
freeride fallbacks # 5 fallbacks
freeride fallbacks -c 10 # 10 fallbacks

Behavior
Primary model: Best specific model (not router) for consistent responses.
First fallback: Always openrouter/free - OpenRouter's smart router that auto-selects based on request features (vision, tools, etc.).
Additional fallbacks: Ranked by quality score.
Config preservation: Only updates model-related sections; preserves gateway, channels, plugins, etc.
Model Ranking
Score (0-1) based on:
- Context length (40%)
- Capabilities (30%)
- Recency (20%)
- Provider trust (10%)

Config Output
Updates ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:
{
"agents": {
"defaults": {
"model": {
"primary": "openrouter/qwen/qwen3-coder:free",
"fallbacks": [
"openrouter/free:free",
"nvidia/nemotron-3-nano-30b-a3b:free"
]
}
}
}
}
Troubleshooting
