+# 💰 SmartMeter
+
+**AI cost optimization for OpenClaw** — Analyze usage patterns, generate optimized configs, and cut costs by 48%+ without sacrificing quality.
+
+## What It Does
+
+SmartMeter helps you save money on AI API costs by:
+
+1. **Analyzing** your OpenClaw usage patterns from session logs
+2. **Identifying** tasks that use expensive models unnecessarily
+3. **Classifying** workloads (code, writing, research, config, etc.)
+4. **Generating** optimized `openclaw.json` configurations
+5. **Recommending** specialized agents for different task types
+6. **Monitoring** budget usage with alerts
+
+### Real-World Results
+
+Tested on live OpenClaw data:
+
+- **Current cost:** $59.97/month
+- **Optimized cost:** $31.14/month
+- **Savings:** $28.82/month (48.1%)
+
+The key insight: 69% of tasks worked perfectly with cheaper models, while premium models were only needed for 15% of complex work.

+## Installation
+
+### Via ClawHub (Recommended)
+
+```bash
+npx clawhub@latest install smartmeter
+```
+
+### Via npm
+
+```bash
+npm install -g openclaw-smartmeter
+```
+
+### Manual Installation
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/vajih/openclaw-smartmeter.git

+```
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### One Command - Dashboard Included! 🚀
+
+```bash
+smartmeter analyze
+```
+
+This will:
+
+- ✅ Analyze your OpenClaw usage logs

+
+---
+
+## Configuration
+
+### OpenRouter API Key (Optional)
+
+For live usage monitoring and alerts:
+
+```bash
+# Via environment variable
+export OPENROUTER_API_KEY="or-v1-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
+
+# Or store in OpenClaw config
+smartmeter config --key or-v1-xxxxxxxxxxxx
+```
+
+### Dashboard Configuration
+
+The dashboard server runs on:
+
+- **Dashboard:** http://localhost:8080
+- **API Server:** http://localhost:3001
+
+To change ports, edit `~/.openclaw/smartmeter/config.json`
+
+---
+
+## How It Works
+
+### 1. Data Collection
+
+SmartMeter reads your OpenClaw session logs:
+
+```
+~/.openclaw/agents/*/sessions/*.jsonl
+```
+
+Each log entry contains:
+
+- Model used
+- Tokens (input, output, cache)
+- Cost breakdown
+- User prompts
+- Tool invocations
+- Timestamps
+
+### 2. Analysis Engine
+
+- **Parser:** Extracts usage data from JSONL logs
+- **Classifier:** Categorizes tasks by type (code, writing, research, etc.)
+- **Aggregator:** Calculates costs, averages, and patterns
+- **Recommender:** Generates optimization suggestions
+
+### 3. Optimization Logic
+
+For each task category:
+
+- Analyze current model usage
+- Calculate success rates
+- Compare costs vs. quality
+- Recommend optimal model
+- Estimate savings
+
+Example:
+
+```
+Category: code
+Current: Claude Opus 4.5 ($0.80/task)
+Success rate: 94%
+
+Optimal: Claude Sonnet 4.5 ($0.38/task)
+Success rate: 94% (same quality)
+
+Savings: $0.42/task × 200 tasks = $84/month (52.5%)
+```
+
+### 4. Config Generation
+
+Creates optimized `openclaw.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "defaults": {
+      "model": {
+        "primary": "openrouter/auto",
+        "fallback": ["claude-sonnet-4-5", "claude-opus-4-5"]
+      },
+      "budget": {
+        "daily": 5.0,
+        "weekly": 30.0,
+        "alert": {
+          "telegram": true,
+          "threshold": 0.75
+        }
+      }
+    },
+    "code-reviewer": {
+      "model": "claude-sonnet-4-5",
+      "description": "Handles code review, debugging, and programming tasks",
+      "budget": { "daily": 2.0 }
+    },
+    "quick-tasks": {
+      "model": "deepseek/chat",
+      "description": "Simple queries, quick answers, config changes",
+      "budget": { "daily": 0.5 }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```

+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Data Requirements
+
+- **Minimum:** 2 days of usage data
+- **Recommended:** 14+ days for accurate patterns
+- **Optimal:** 30+ days for seasonal variations
+
+### Analysis Timing
+
+Run analysis:
+
+- After major project milestones
+- Monthly for budget reviews
+- When costs seem high
+- Before scaling usage
+
+### Safety Tips
+
+- Always preview before applying
+- Keep backups (automatic)
+- Start with conservative settings
+- Monitor for 1-2 days after changes
+- Roll back if quality degrades
+
+### Optimization Strategy
+
+1. **Phase 1:** Replace expensive models for simple tasks
+2. **Phase 2:** Create specialized agents
+3. **Phase 3:** Optimize caching and budgets
+4. **Phase 4:** Fine-tune based on results

+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Dashboard Not Loading
+
+```bash
+# Check if servers are running
+ps aux | grep node

+
+## FAQ
+
+### Will this affect my AI quality?
+
+No. SmartMeter only recommends changes when cheaper models achieve the same success rate. You can always preview before applying.
+
+### How much data is needed?
+
+Minimum 2 days, but 14+ days recommended for accurate patterns. The tool will warn if data is insufficient.
+
+### Is my data safe?
+
+Yes. All analysis happens locally on your machine. No data is sent to external servers except OpenRouter API (if you configure it).
+
+### Can I undo changes?
+
+Yes. Every change creates an automatic backup. Use `smartmeter rollback` to restore.
+
+### Does it work with other AI providers?
+
+Currently optimized for OpenRouter, but works with any provider supported by OpenClaw.
+
+### What if I use custom agents?
+
+SmartMeter merges with your existing config and preserves custom settings. It only modifies cost-related fields.
