chitin-core
v1.0.0为任务选择最具性价比的可用模型,优雅处理限流失败,支持层级覆盖与健康检查。
Installation
chitin-core
Route tasks to the cheapest capable model. Never crash on rate limits.
Activation
When spawning sub-agents or delegating tasks, use ModelRouter to select the optimal model.
Trigger phrases: "route this", "spawn a sub-agent", "delegate", or any time you need to choose a model for a task.
Usage
Route a Task
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/chitin-core/scripts/router.js route "task description here"
Returns JSON:
{"tier":"MEDIUM","model":"google-antigravity/gemini-3.1-pro","confidence":0.85,"estimatedCost":0.005,"signals":["codeSignals:2×1.2=2.4"]}
Use the returned model value in sessions_spawn.
Handle Failures
If a spawned session fails with a rate limit or error:
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/chitin-core/scripts/router.js fail "provider/model" "error message"
Then re-route — the failed model will be skipped:
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/chitin-core/scripts/router.js route "same task"
Check Health
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/chitin-core/scripts/router.js health
View Costs
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/chitin-core/scripts/router.js costs
Validate Config
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/chitin-core/scripts/router.js validate
Workflow
- Receive task from user
- Run
router.js route "<task>"to get optimal model sessions_spawnwith returned model- If spawn fails →
router.js fail "<model>" "<error>"→ retry route - Return result to user
Tiers
| Tier | Use Case | Models |
|---|---|---|
| LIGHT | Greetings, simple Q&A, status checks | Flash, DeepSeek, gpt-5-mini, Groq, Ollama |
| MEDIUM | Code, summaries, standard tasks | Gemini Pro, gpt-5.2, DeepSeek Reasoner |
| HEAVY | Architecture, complex reasoning, agentic | gpt-5.2-pro, o3, Codex |
Override Tags
Include in task text to force a tier:
- @light — force cheapest model
- @medium — force mid-tier
- @heavy — force most capable
Graceful Degradation
If all models in a tier are rate-limited, the router automatically: 1. Tries adjacent tiers (escalate or downgrade) 2. Falls back to local Ollama if configured 3. Returns structured error with retry time (never crashes)
Configuration
Edit config.json in the skill directory to:
- Add/remove models per tier
- Adjust cost figures
- Tune classification boundaries
