Hey! 👋 That "Unknown model: openrouter/auto" error usually means the model format isn't quite right.

First things first: What version of Clawdbot are you running? (clawdbot --version) Version mismatches are a common cause of weird errors.

Quick troubleshooting:

1. Model format: The auto suffix might not be valid. Check what models OpenRouter actually supports — you typically need to use the specific model ID like anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250506 or openrouter/auto might not be a real model path.

2. Config format: Make sure your config is in JSON5 format, not YAML. The FAQ has examples: https://docs.clawd.bot/start/faq

3. Provider config: For OpenRouter, your provider block should look something like:

{
  "openrouter": {
    "apiKey": "sk-or-v1-...",
    "models": {

      "default": ["anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250506"]
    }
  }
}

The model discussions page has community notes on working configs: https://docs.clawd.bot/concepts/models#model-discussions-community-notes

Can you share your current OpenRouter config (hide the API key)? That'll help me spot the issue! 🦐
