This skill demonstrates advanced techniques for managing high-volume API calls to LLM services via OpenRouter. It implements multi-key round-robin strategies, incorporating health checks and circuit breakers to distribute load across multiple API keys. It also covers concurrent request processing using asyncio and provider-level failover, ensuring high availability and maximizing throughput when facing rate limits.

This skill provides comprehensive tools to monitor the real-time availability, status, and performance of various large language models (LLMs) accessed via OpenRouter. It supports active health probes, catalog checks, and scheduled monitoring via Python and Bash, ensuring robust fault detection and failover logic for production systems that rely on external AI APIs.

This skill provides comprehensive methods for implementing intelligent model routing using the OpenRouter API. It allows developers to dynamically select the optimal Large Language Model (LLM) based on specific criteria: task complexity (e.g., classification, code generation), required capability (e.g., deep reasoning vs. simple Q&A), cost budget, and latency tolerance. Implement cost-aware, task-based, and complexity-based routing to maximize system efficiency and minimize operational expenses when building multi-model applications.

OpenRouter provides a unified API gateway to access leading AI models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, etc.) from a single endpoint. This skill is essential for developers who need to compare model performance (latency, tokens) across different providers, build resilient cross-provider fallback workflows, or manage complex AI pipelines without writing provider-specific code. It supports feature normalization and BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) for high-volume production use.

This skill guides developers on migrating their codebase from direct OpenAI API calls to using OpenRouter. By making minimal changes—primarily updating the base URL and API key—users gain access to over 400 models from multiple providers (including Anthropic and Google) through a unified SDK interface, ensuring high compatibility and flexible model switching.

This skill provides comprehensive best practices and Python code examples for optimizing API calls to Large Language Models (LLMs) via OpenRouter. It covers benchmarking model latency, implementing streaming to achieve low Time-To-First-Token (TTFT), and processing requests concurrently using asynchronous programming (asyncio). Use this when developing real-time, high-throughput applications that require predictable and fast model responses.

This skill provides a comprehensive guide to understanding OpenRouter's API billing structure. It teaches users how to accurately calculate costs based on prompt (input) and completion (output) tokens. Users can utilize provided scripts to estimate costs, check credit balances, and implement cost-saving strategies like using `:floor` or `:free` model variants. Ideal for budgeting, performance comparison, and production cost tracking.

This skill provides comprehensive reference architectures for building production-grade AI applications using OpenRouter as a unified LLM gateway. It covers three scaling patterns: simple single-service, standard microservice (with caching and budget enforcement), and enterprise event-driven systems (with message queues and workers). Use this when planning system design, reviewing complex AI pipelines, or ensuring scalability and cost control in your LLM integration.

Provides comprehensive patterns for creating production-grade client wrappers when integrating with OpenRouter via the OpenAI SDK. This skill covers handling advanced topics such as robust retry mechanisms, structured typing, caching strategies, and middleware implementation. It is essential for developers building stable, reliable SDKs or commercial client libraries that require enterprise-level API robustness.

This skill provides comprehensive guides on implementing real-time streaming responses using OpenRouter's Server-Sent Events (SSE) capability. It covers various languages (Python, TypeScript, FastAPI, JavaScript), enabling developers to build modern, fast-feeling chat interfaces. By streaming tokens as they are generated, it significantly reduces the time-to-first-token (TTFT) and improves user experience for long completions and chat applications.

This skill provides comprehensive governance for multi-user API deployments using OpenRouter. It covers key provisioning, including creating, listing, and revoking individual user keys. Users can set per-user budget limits and track usage costs programmatically. It is designed for corporate or team environments that require strict cost control, usage attribution, and detailed usage reporting.

This comprehensive guide provides developers with step-by-step instructions for migrating applications from direct calls to proprietary Large Language Model (LLM) APIs (such as OpenAI or Anthropic) to utilizing the unified OpenRouter gateway. It details essential code changes, including updating base URLs, managing API keys, adding custom headers, and correctly prefixing model identifiers. This ensures a seamless transition, enabling multi-model compatibility and simplified API management.
