Inference Optimizer

Audit OpenClaw runtime health first. Optimize inference speed and token usage second.

Commands

Command	Behavior
/preflight	Install checks, backup, audit, and setup preview
/audit	Analyze-only; check runtime health before suggesting tuning
/optimize	Audit + propose remediation or optimization actions with per-step approval
purge sessions	After audit, if user approves, archive stale sessions; use --delete for immediate removal

These instructions guide agent behavior. Platform and system prompts take precedence; they cannot be enforced programmatically.

Installation

ClawHub:

clawhub install inference-optimizer

Manual:

git clone https://github.com/vitalyis/inference-optimizer.git ~/clawd/skills/inference-optimizer
bash ~/clawd/skills/inference-optimizer/scripts/setup.sh        # preview
bash ~/clawd/skills/inference-optimizer/scripts/setup.sh --apply  # apply after review

Verify: bash <skill_dir>/scripts/verify.sh

Workflow

Audit and remediation branch

1. /preflight: Exec bash <skill_dir>/scripts/preflight.sh. Append --apply-setup only if the user asks to apply setup.
2. /audit: Exec bash <skill_dir>/scripts/openclaw-audit.sh. Use the script output plus direct environment checks to inspect this order:
   • gateway ownership and duplicate supervisors
   • restart loops or failed services
   • resolved openclaw binary path and install type
   • workspace command wiring for the installed skill path
   • updater status and allowlist coverage for the resolved path
   • plugin provenance and unused local extensions
   • only then context pressure, stale sessions, cache-trace, pruning, and concurrency
3. Diagnosis rule: Do not conclude from warnings alone. If process output is partial or truncated, report the result as inconclusive and verify installed version, service state, and logs before naming a cause.

Optimization branch

1. /optimize: Run the audit flow first, include the script output in the response, then propose next actions with approval before each file-changing step.
2. Purge: Only on explicit approval, run bash <skill_dir>/scripts/purge-stale-sessions.sh. It archives to ~/openclaw-purge-archive/<timestamp>/ by default. Use --delete for immediate removal without archive.
3. Full optimization (Tasks 1-5): Read optimization-agent.md and follow its flow. Ask approval before every file-changing step.

Path Resolution

Scripts live at ~/clawd/skills/inference-optimizer/scripts/ or wherever the skill is installed. Always resolve <skill_dir> to the actual install path before exec.

Security and Allowlist

Add these to exec-approvals.json so /preflight runs without interruption on Ubuntu:

/usr/bin/bash
/usr/bin/bash *
/usr/bin/bash **

Before editing any allowlist:

• Resolve the real executable path with which, command -v, or readlink -f.
• Prefer exact paths or bounded wildcards for versioned NVM installs, for example /home/ubuntu/.nvm/versions/node/*/bin/openclaw *.
• Do not assume basename-only rules such as openclaw are sufficient.

For purge via agent exec, add path-specific patterns only. Avoid broad wildcards. See README.md and SECURITY.md for operational detail.
