Zero Token

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. Same ::GENE{} soul as Poor Man's Opus. For beginners and disaster recovery. Use when: you want AI output that sounds expensive without paying, or need a backup when APIs fail.

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

# 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 — 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.
