volcengine-config

What This Skill Does

The volcengine-config skill is an automated onboarding assistant for OpenClaw users wishing to integrate the Volcano Engine (Ark Coding Plan) large language models into their workspace. This skill streamlines the complex process of registering for the service, selecting the appropriate Lite Plan subscription, generating the necessary API keys, and executing the technical terminal commands required to configure the OpenClaw gateway. It abstracts the configuration process by providing users with the exact terminal snippets needed to set their API credentials, define model providers, and assign convenient aliases to specific models like GLM 4.7, Kimi, and DeepSeek.

Installation

You can install this skill directly into your OpenClaw environment by running the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/benhack20/volcengine-config

Use Cases

• New User Onboarding: Ideal for users who want to switch from default models to the powerful, cost-effective models provided by Volcano Engine but are unsure of the setup procedure.
• Subscription Management: Assists users in navigating the Lite Plan selection, which offers high-frequency access (up to 18,000 requests per month) for a flat monthly fee, ideal for software developers.
• Configuration Automation: Simplifies the tedious task of manually editing configuration files or remembering complex API base URLs and model endpoints.
• Workflow Optimization: Helps users set up shorthand aliases for frequently used models, significantly speeding up the switching process during active coding sessions.

Example Prompts

1. "I want to use the Volcano Engine model for my coding tasks, can you help me set it up?"
2. "I have my Volcano Engine API key ready, how do I configure it in OpenClaw?"
3. "Can you guide me through the registration and subscription process for the Ark Coding Plan?"

Tips & Limitations

• API Key Security: Always ensure you store your API key in a secure location and never share it publicly.
• Verification: After running the configuration command, always use the /model command to verify that the provider is correctly listed and active.
• Restart Requirement: Please note that the openclaw gateway restart command is necessary to apply changes. Be prepared for a brief disconnection during this process.
• Subscription Plan: Ensure you are subscribed to the correct 'Lite' plan before attempting to use the API key, as standard pay-as-you-go or free tiers may have different access requirements.
• Aliases: If you have existing custom aliases, be careful not to overwrite them during the configuration process; the command provided in the flow is designed to be easily modified to preserve your current settings.
