openclaw-antseed_skill

Overview

This skill connects OpenClaw to the AntSeed peer-to-peer AI network as a buyer. It installs and configures a local AntSeed buyer proxy, routes OpenClaw LLM requests through the P2P network, and adds AntSeed as a model provider in OpenClaw configuration. Use it to access distributed models or to route requests through P2P providers like OpenRouter and Anthropic via AntSeed.

How this skill works

The skill installs the AntSeed CLI buyer plugin and runs a local HTTP proxy (default http://127.0.0.1:5005) that joins the AntSeed DHT and discovers provider nodes. OpenClaw is configured to use that proxy as a model provider; requests sent to the proxy are matched to available sellers and relayed to their upstream APIs. The proxy translates API formats (e.g., anthropic-messages) and supports streaming and SSE relays.

When to use it

• You want OpenClaw to use P2P AI providers instead of direct upstreams.
• You want to route LLM traffic through a local AntSeed buyer proxy for discovery and failover.
• You need to add specific P2P-hosted models (e.g., moonshotai/kimi-k2.5) to OpenClaw.
• You want to run the buyer proxy as a persistent service on a server.
• You need streaming support or DHT-based discovery for model availability.

Best practices

• Run antseed connect as a systemd service to ensure persistence and auto-restart.
• Verify Node.js 20+ and antseed --version before proceeding.
• Set OpenClaw provider api to the format the proxy expects (e.g., anthropic-messages).
• Set a reasonable maxTokens and contextWindow in the OpenClaw model entry to avoid timeouts.
• If DHT discovery fails, add known provider bootstrapNodes in ~/.antseed/config.json and restart the proxy.

Example use cases

• Add AntSeed as a secondary model provider for cost or redundancy and route selected agents through antseed/MODEL_ID.
• Run the buyer proxy on a gateway host and configure OpenClaw to query available P2P models for specific tasks.
• Set up persistent antseed-buyer service via systemd for production deployments.
• Quickly test P2P model availability: start proxy, curl /v1/models, then set agent default to antseed/MODEL_ID.
