Hybrid edge-cloud AI architecture: local-first inference with cloud escalation, model cascading, and splitting the workload across device and datacenter to balance latency, cost, privacy, and quality. Architect-level topology. USE WHEN: designing systems that combine on-device and cloud AI, "local-first", "cloud fallback", "model cascade", "escalation", "hybrid inference", routing by confidence/complexity, edge+cloud trade-offs. DO NOT USE FOR: pure on-device (use `edge-inference`); pure cloud serving (use `inference-serving-topology`); multi-provider API routing (use `model-gateway-routing`).

What this skill does

# Hybrid Edge–Cloud AI

Combine a small/fast local model with a large/capable cloud model to get the best
of both — when neither pure-edge nor pure-cloud fits.

## Patterns
- **Local-first + cloud escalation**: run a small on-device model; escalate to
  the cloud only when needed (low confidence, long context, hard query). Most
  requests stay local (fast, cheap, private); hard ones get cloud quality.
- **Model cascade**: cheap model → if confidence < threshold → bigger model →
  … . Tune thresholds to a cost/quality target. Works within cloud too.
- **Speculative / draft-verify**: small model drafts, large model verifies — a
  latency optimization more than a topology, but composes here.
- **Split computation**: feature extraction / preprocessing on device, heavy
  inference in cloud (classic for vision/audio).

## Decision drivers
- **Escalation trigger**: confidence score, input complexity/length, task type,
  or explicit user action. The trigger quality makes or breaks the design.
- **Privacy boundary**: what may leave the device? Sometimes only embeddings or
  redacted text escalate.
- **Connectivity**: must it degrade gracefully offline? Local model = floor.
- **Cost model**: % of traffic that escalates × cloud cost vs local hardware cost.

## Failure & consistency
- Define behavior when the cloud is unreachable (serve local result + flag, queue,
  or refuse). Avoid silent quality cliffs.
- Cache cloud results on device for repeat queries.

## When to recommend
- Voice assistants, copilots on laptops/phones, field/IoT devices with
  intermittent connectivity, privacy-sensitive apps with occasional hard queries.
- If ~all traffic needs the big model → just use cloud serving. If ~none does →
  go pure edge.

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.

alibabacloud-data-agent-skill

Included

Invoke Alibaba Cloud Apsara Data Agent for Analytics via CLI to perform natural language-driven data analysis on enterprise databases. Data Agent for Analytics is an intelligent data analysis agent developed by Alibaba Cloud Database team for enterprise users. It automatically completes requirement analysis, data understanding, analysis insights, and report generation based on natural language descriptions. This tool supports: discovering data resources (instances/databases/tables) managed in DMS, initiating query or deep analysis sessions, real-time progress tracking, and retrieving analysis conclusions and generated reports. Use this Skill when users need to query databases, analyze data trends, generate data reports, ask questions in natural language, or mention "Data Agent", "data analysis", "database query", "SQL analysis", "data insights".

token-optimizer

Included

Reduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
