What This Skill Does

The stepfun-openrouter skill provides a seamless bridge between your OpenClaw agent and the advanced StepFun AI model ecosystem. By leveraging OpenRouter as the integration layer, this skill unlocks access to high-performance reasoning models like Step-3.5 Flash and Step-3 directly within your local workflow. It is specifically designed to handle complex logic, offering users "visible reasoning" that demystifies how the AI arrives at its conclusions. Whether you are performing rapid prototyping, debugging code, or analyzing multimodal data, this skill ensures consistent, fast, and cost-effective AI interactions.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the ClawHub package manager. Run the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/mig6671/stepfun-openrouter-v2

Once installed, ensure your authentication is handled by setting the environment variable OPENROUTER_API_KEY with a valid key generated from the OpenRouter dashboard. This avoids hardcoding credentials and keeps your setup secure.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for developers and power users who require high-speed reasoning capabilities without the overhead of heavy local model hosting. Key scenarios include:

1. Technical Debugging: Utilizing Step-3.5 Flash's reasoning capabilities to trace stack traces or logic errors in your code.
2. Creative Brainstorming: Leveraging the model's ability to chain thoughts for complex creative projects.
3. Multimodal Analysis: Processing images or documentation provided to the agent, which the underlying model parses to provide detailed insights.

Example Prompts

1. "Analyze the provided system logs and explain the root cause of the connection timeout using the reasoning engine."
2. "Compare the pros and cons of using a microservices architecture versus monolithic design for a startup app."
3. "Look at this image of my database schema and suggest three optimizations for query performance."

Tips & Limitations

To maximize effectiveness, always enable the --reasoning flag if you need a step-by-step breakdown of the AI's logic, which is essential for complex problem-solving. Note that the free tier for the Flash model may be subject to rate limits imposed by OpenRouter, so consider the production-grade tiers for high-volume tasks. Finally, since this skill relies on an external API, a stable internet connection is required for every request.
