Setup & Installation
openclaw skills install @tkuehnl/cacheforge
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
npx clawhub install cacheforge
What This Skill Does
CacheForge is an OpenAI-compatible gateway that proxies LLM requests to reduce token costs. It bootstraps and routes to companion skills for setup, account operations, and usage stats.
Because it uses an OpenAI-compatible API surface, existing agent code routes through it without modification.
When to use it
- Checking token spend and savings across the past 7 days
- Switching to a different upstream LLM provider without changing agent code
- Topping up gateway credits to keep agent workflows running
- Viewing cost breakdown by model to identify expensive calls
- Onboarding a new project with a dedicated tenant API key
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
INPUT
User asks: Set up CacheForge for my agent project
AGENT
- 1Run bootstrap script to install companion skills (cacheforge-setup, cacheforge-ops, cacheforge-stats)
- 2Provision a tenant and create a cf_... API key via cacheforge-setup
- 3Configure upstream provider (OpenRouter, Anthropic, or custom) and apply OpenClaw provider config
- 4Top up credits with a minimum $10 deposit via Stripe or crypto
- 5Run a validation request and confirm telemetry appears in the dashboard
OUTPUT
CacheForge gateway active with provider configured, credits loaded, and dashboard telemetry confirmed
