The bundled model-usage skill stays unavailable on Linux even when codexbar is installed and on PATH.

Root Cause

The skill's default path only requires:

codexbar cost --format json --provider <codex|claude>

CodexBar CLI is available on Linux in some setups, including packaged installs. When codexbar is already installed, the skill can use the same live local cost-log path it uses on macOS.

Fix Action

Fixed

Code Example

Requirements:
  Binaries: ✓ codexbar
  OS: ✗ darwin

---

codexbar cost --format json --provider <codex|claude>

Summary

The bundled model-usage skill stays unavailable on Linux even when codexbar is installed and on PATH.

Current behavior

On Linux, openclaw skills info model-usage reports:

Requirements:
  Binaries: ✓ codexbar
  OS: ✗ darwin

So the runtime dependency is satisfied, but the skill-level OS metadata still blocks the skill because it only lists darwin.

Why this matters

The skill's default path only requires:

codexbar cost --format json --provider <codex|claude>

CodexBar CLI is available on Linux in some setups, including packaged installs. When codexbar is already installed, the skill can use the same live local cost-log path it uses on macOS.

Proposed fix

  • Add linux to metadata.openclaw.os for skills/model-usage.
  • Keep requires.bins = ["codexbar"], so unsupported Linux hosts without codexbar remain blocked by the binary requirement.
  • Scope the existing Homebrew installer to macOS with os: ["darwin"], so Linux users are not offered a misleading brew installer.
  • Update the docs to say Linux live reads work when codexbar is installed separately.

Notes

This does not add an OpenClaw-managed Linux installer for CodexBar. It only lets Linux users with a working codexbar binary use the bundled skill.
