Manages free AI models from OpenRouter for OpenClaw. Automatically ranks models by quality, configures fallbacks for rate-limit handling, and updates openclaw.json. Optional Groq, Gemini and Cerebras free tiers are opt-in. Use when the user mentions free AI, OpenRouter, model switching, rate limits, or wants to reduce AI costs.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# FreeRide - Free AI for OpenClaw ## What This Skill Does Configures OpenClaw to use **free** AI models from OpenRouter. Sets the best free model as primary, adds ranked fallbacks so rate limits don't interrupt the user, and preserves existing config. ## Rules for the agent - **Never print, echo, log, or ask the user to paste an API key into chat.** Don't echo key variables, run `env` or `printenv`, or `cat ~/.openclaw/.env`. The user sets keys themselves. - To check whether a key is set, run `freeride status`. It shows keys masked (for example `sk-or-v1-...abcd`) or `NOT SET`. - Before running a command with `--setup-auth`, tell the user what it adds (see below) and only pass `--yes` once they agree. - Don't pass `--providers` or `--allow-training-providers` unless the user asked for those providers. For Gemini, tell the user Google may use free-tier prompts for training before passing `--allow-training-providers`. ## Prerequisites Before running any FreeRide command, ensure: …

How to install
mdr add shaivpidadi/freeride/freeride@sha256:5a2a1a35bd4c435bThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
