BC token-efficiency-guide
Reference material, not an executable tool: one document (GUIDE.md) with ten concrete steps for cutting OpenClaw token consumption on a Claude subscription — heartbeat model, session compaction, cron model and frequency, bash-ified crons, workspace file size, cache retention. Read it when asked why token usage is high or how to lower it.

As a process C 53/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, inputs and preconditions, failures and branches
How to improve
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Process rating: all ten parameters 53/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 30Running it twice. 3 mutating operations with no state check
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web) that frontmatter does not declare
- 100Steps. 29 steps
- 100When it triggers. States when to use and when not to
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1094 tokens
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
