#9257: this is my first fork

🎯 The Core Problem Before: Testing OpenClaw changes required paid API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) Every test costs money 💸 Contributors skip thorough testing to save costs New contributors need credit cards just to start After: Free local AI models via Ollama Test unlimited times at zero cost ✅ No API keys needed Works offline 💡 Key Benefits for PR Development 1. Free Unlimited Testing bash # Test your changes 100 times - costs $0 ollama pull llama3.3 openclaw agent --model "ollama/llama3.3" --message "Test my feature" 2. Faster Development Local models = instant responses No network delays or rate limits Iterate quickly during development 3. Privacy & Security Your code never leaves your machine Safe for proprietary/sensitive work No data sent to external APIs 4. Lower Barrier to Entry bash # New contributor setup (2 commands!) ollama pull llama3.3 export OLLAMA_API_KEY="ollama-local" # Ready to contribute! 🚀 5. Better PR Quality Test extensively without cost concerns Try multiple models (coding, reasoning, general) Catch bugs before submitting 🔄 Real Example bash # Old way: Pay for each test export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..." # Costs money per request openclaw agent --message "Test feature" # 💰 # New way: Test for free ollama pull llama3.3 # One-time download openclaw agent --model "ollama/llama3.3" --message "Test feature" # Free! 📊 Impact Summary Aspect Before After Cost per test $0.01-0.10 $0.00 Setup time 15-30 min 5 min Requires credit card Yes No Works offline No Yes Data privacy Sent to APIs Stays local ✨ Bottom Line This upgrade means contributors can: ✅ Test fearlessly (no cost) ✅ Start contributing faster (easier setup) ✅ Work anywhere (offline capable) ✅ Submit better PRs (more thorough testing) <!-- greptile_comment --> <h2>Greptile Overview</h2> <h3>Greptile Summary</h3> This PR updates the internal contributor workflow at `.agent/workflows/update_clawdbot.md` to document and script an optional Ollama-based local-model setup/verification step during upstream sync and macOS rebuild workflows. It adds a new “Step 4B” section for configuring the Ollama provider and expands the example automation script to detect `OLLAMA_API_KEY`, start `ollama serve`, probe the local Ollama HTTP API, and confirm OpenClaw discovers Ollama models. <h3>Confidence Score: 4/5</h3> - Mostly safe to merge; changes are documentation/workflow-only but contain a couple of copy/paste instructions that will misconfigure Ollama in common cases. - Only one markdown workflow file changed and there’s no runtime code impact. However, the new Ollama sections include at least one incorrect model identifier in the suggested fallback config and a troubleshooting snippet that conflicts with documented provider auto-discovery behavior, which will cause users to follow the workflow and end up with a broken or confusing setup. - .agent/workflows/update_clawdbot.md <!-- greptile_other_comments_section --> _{(2/5) Greptile learns from your feedback when you react with thumbs up/down!} <!-- /greptile_comment -->
