summary: "Plan for models CLI: scan, list, aliases, fallbacks, status"
read_when:
- Adding or modifying models CLI (models list/set/scan/aliases/fallbacks)
- Changing model fallback behavior or selection UX
- Updating model scan probes (tools/images)
---
# Models CLI plan
Goal: give clear model visibility + control (configured vs available), plus scan tooling
that prefers tool-call + image-capable models and maintains ordered fallbacks.
## Command tree (draft)
- `clawdbot models list`
- default: configured models only
- flags: `--all` (full catalog), `--local`, `--provider <name>`, `--json`, `--plain`
- `clawdbot models status`
- show default model + aliases + fallbacks + allowlist
- `clawdbot models set <modelOrAlias>`
- writes `agent.model` in config
- `clawdbot models aliases list|add|remove`
- writes `agent.modelAliases`
- `clawdbot models fallbacks list|add|remove|clear`
- writes `agent.modelFallbacks`
- `clawdbot models scan`
- OpenRouter :free scan; probe tool-call + image; interactive selection
## Config changes
- Add `agent.modelFallbacks: string[]` (ordered list of provider/model IDs).
- Keep existing:
- `agent.model` (default)
- `agent.allowedModels` (list filter)
- `agent.modelAliases` (shortcut names)
## Scan behavior (models scan)
Input
- OpenRouter `/models` list (filter `:free`)
- Requires `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` (or stored OpenRouter key in auth storage)
- Optional filters: `--max-age-days`, `--min-params`, `--provider`, `--max-candidates`
- Probe controls: `--timeout`, `--concurrency`
Probes (direct pi-ai complete)
- Tool-call probe (required):
- Provide a dummy tool, verify tool call emitted.
- Image probe (preferred):
- Prompt includes 1x1 PNG; success if no "unsupported image" error.
Scoring/selection
- Prefer models passing tool + image.
- Fallback to tool-only if no tool+image pass.
- Rank by: image ok, then lower tool latency, then larger context, then params.
Interactive selection (TTY)
- Multiselect list with per-model stats:
- model id, tool ok, image ok, median latency, context, inferred params.
- Pre-select top N (default 6).
- Non-TTY: auto-select; require `--yes`/`--no-input` to apply.
Output
- Writes `agent.modelFallbacks` ordered.
- Optional `--set-default` to set `agent.model`.
## Runtime fallback
- On model failure: try `agent.modelFallbacks` in order.
- Ignore fallback entries not in `agent.allowedModels` (if allowlist set).
- Persist last successful provider/model to session entry.
- `/status` shows last used model (not just default).
## Tests
- Unit: scan selection ordering + probe classification.
- CLI: list/aliases/fallbacks add/remove + scan writes config.
- Status: shows last used model + fallbacks.
## Docs
- Update `docs/configuration.md` with `agent.modelFallbacks`.
- Keep this doc current when CLI surface or scan logic changes.
