This post logs 8 parameters I actually tuned, and the reasoning behind each. Architecture First Here’s my setup: GitHub Copilot Pro+: $19/month, 1500 premium requests/month quota Claude Opus 4.6: accessed via Copilot’s model routing, model ID github-copilot/claude-opus-4.6 OpenClaw: handles Telegram interactions, Skill calls, scheduled tasks Quota math: each AI assistant reply = 1 premium request (including replies after tool calls). 1500 sounds like plenty, but without optimization it dries up fast. ...
