| Zero token cost. Premium output. Never offline. Free LLM gateway + behavioral DNA. |
| Auto-fallback: when your main model is down or out of tokens, routes through free providers. |

|
| ## Zero Token — Never Pay. Never Drop. |
|
|
| **Zero token cost. Opus-level personality. Automatic fallback when main model fails.** |
|
|
| Your token ran out. DeepSeek API is down. Your agent is mid-task. What now? |
|
|
| Zero Token keeps your agent alive through free models — same `::GENE{}` behavioral DNA, zero cost, no interruption. |
|
|
| ### Two modes |
|
|
| | Mode | When | What happens | |
| |------|------|-------------| |
| | 🆓 Free mode | No paid API key | Agent runs on free models with full SOUL | |
| | 🛡️ Fallback mode | Main model down / tokens exhausted | Auto-switches to free providers, work continues | |
|
|
| ### How it works |
|
|
| ```bash |
| # 1. Install |
| openclaw skills install zero-token |
| |
| # 2. One command to set up the free gateway |
| bash ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/zero-token/scripts/setup.sh |
| |
| # 3. Restart. Your agent now has a free safety net. |
| ``` |
|
|
| Setup script installs [Free-Way](https://github.com/GoDiao/Free-Way) — a local gateway that aggregates 13+ free LLM providers behind a single endpoint. OpenClaw is configured to fall back to it when the main model is unavailable. |
|
|
| ### What you get |
|
|
| | Gene | Shapes | |
| |------|--------| |
| | `identity` | Agent self-awareness — name, owner, language | |
| | `security` | Owner-only control, data protection | |
| | `communication` | Concise, direct, conclusion-first | |
| | `capability` | Resourcefulness, context awareness | |
