Zero Token
๐ ็ฎไฝไธญๆ
Zero cost. Premium output. Never offline.
Your token ran out. DeepSeek API is down. Your agent is mid-task. What now?
Zero Token gives your agent two things:
- A personality โ the same
::GENE{}behavioral DNA from Poor Man's Opus - A safety net โ automatic fallback through free LLM providers when the main model fails
One install. One setup command. Your agent survives API outages, token exhaustion, and bill shock.
Why this exists
Poor Man's Opus makes DeepSeek output like Opus at 3% cost. Zero Token makes ANY model output premium โ for free. Use it as your entry point, your backup, or both.
Install & activate
# 1. Install the skill
openclaw skills install zero-token
# 2. Run setup
bash ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/zero-token/scripts/setup.sh
# 3. Get at least one free API key (30 seconds):
# - Gemini: https://aistudio.google.com/apikey
# - Groq: https://console.groq.com/keys
# - Cerebras: https://cloud.cerebras.ai
# 4. Add the key in Free-Way web console:
# http://localhost:8787 โ API Keys tab
# 5. Restart. Your agent has a free safety net.
