Based on my investigation, here's what's happening and how to fix it:

The Issue

The error "Unknown model: openrouter/auto" occurs because OpenRouter needs to be explicitly configured in your Clawdbot config. The model registry doesn't automatically discover OpenRouter models without configuration.

Solution

Add OpenRouter to your config file:

{
  env: { 
    OPENROUTER_API_KEY: "sk-or-your-key-here" 
  },
  agents: {

    defaults: {
      model: { primary: "openrouter/auto" }
    }
  }
}

Or use a specific model instead of auto:

{
  env: { 
    OPENROUTER_API_KEY: "sk-or-your-key-here" 
  },
  agents: {

    defaults: {
      model: { primary: "openrouter/anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5" }
    }
  }
}

Notes

• openrouter/auto is OpenRouter's auto-routing feature that selects the best model
• You can browse available models at https://openrouter.ai/docs#models
• The clawdbot models scan command can help discover and test OpenRouter models (requires API key configured first)
• Docs: https://docs.moltbot.ai/providers/openrouter

Once you add the config with your OpenRouter API key, restart Clawdbot and it should recognize the model.
