Dynamically select the best AI model for a task based on complexity, cost, and availability in GitHub Copilot. Use when deciding between free/paid models, or when you want automatic model routing based on query analysis.

How to install Dynamic Model Selector

The easiest path is via the OpenClaw Easy desktop app — one click, no terminal required:

1. Download OpenClaw Easy for macOS or Windows (free, one-click installer, ~30 seconds).
2. Open the in-app Skills panel.
3. Search for dynamic-model-selector and click Install.
4. The skill activates automatically when an incoming message matches its description.

Install from the command line

If you already run the OpenClaw CLI, add Dynamic Model Selector with a single command:

This pulls dynamic-model-selector from ClawHub and installs it into ~/.openclaw/skills/dynamic-model-selector/. Restart the OpenClaw gateway afterwards so the new skill is discovered.

How to use Dynamic Model Selector

Once installed, Dynamic Model Selector activates on its own: when an incoming message on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu or Line matches the skill's description, your OpenClaw agent loads it and runs the workflow. You can also trigger it explicitly by describing the task in chat. No extra configuration is required after install.

Manual install (advanced)

1. Click the Download .zip button above to grab dynamic-model-selector-1.0.0.zip directly from our S3 mirror.
