dvcrn Predicate Snapshot Engine
Replaces default browser snapshots with Predicate's ML-ranked DOM elements. Reduces prompt token usage by 95% while preserving actionable elements.
Why Use This?
| Approach | Tokens | Elements | Signal Quality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Accessibility Tree (default) | ~18,000 | ~800 | Low (noise) |
| Predicate Snapshot | ~800 | 50 | High (ranked) |
Result: Faster LLM inference, lower costs, fewer retries.
Requirements
- Node.js 18+
PREDICATE_API_KEYenvironment variable (optional)
Without API key: Local heuristic-based pruning (80% token reduction)
With API key: ML-powered ranking for cleaner output (95% token reduction, less noise)

Installation
npx clawdhub@latest install predicate-snapshot
Or manually:
git clone https://github.com/predicate-systems/predicate-snapshot-skill ~/.openclaw/skills/predicate-snapshot
cd ~/.openclaw/skills/predicate-snapshot && npm install && npm run build
Configuration
For enhanced ML-powered ranking, set your API key:
export PREDICATE_API_KEY="sk-..."
Or configure in ~/.openclaw/config.yaml:
skills:
predicate-snapshot:
api_key: "sk-..."
# Optional: set usage limits
max_credits_per_session: 100
Usage
/predicate-snapshot
Capture a pruned DOM snapshot optimized for LLM consumption.
/predicate-snapshot [--limit=50] [--include-ordinal]
Options:
--limit=N- Maximum elements to return (default: 50)--include-ordinal- Include ordinal ranking for list items
Output format:
ID|role|text|imp|is_primary|docYq|ord|DG|href
42|button|Add to Cart|0.95|true|320|1|cart-actions|
15|button|Buy Now|0.92|true|340|2|cart-actions|
23|link|Product Details|0.78|false|400|0||/dp/...
/predicate-act
Execute an action on an element by its Predicate ID.
/predicate-act <action> <element_id> [value]
Examples:
# Click element 42
/predicate-act click 42
# Type into element 15
/predicate-act type 15 "search query"
# Scroll to element 23
/predicate-act scroll 23
/predicate-snapshot-local
Local-only snapshot without ML re-ranking (free, lower accuracy).
/predicate-snapshot-local [--limit=50]
Use this for development or when you don't need ML-powered ranking.
Example Workflow
1. Navigate to page
2. /predicate-snapshot # Get ranked elements
3. /predicate-act click 42 # Click "Add to Cart" (element 42)
4. /predicate-snapshot # Refresh snapshot
5. Verify cart updated
