openrouter-models — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install

What openrouter-models does

The skill gives the agent access to the OpenRouter catalog through several TypeScript scripts. list-models.ts outputs all available models with sorting by recency, price, context size or throughput. search-models.ts finds models by name or modality (text, image, audio, file). resolve-model.ts turns a vague query like "claude sonnet" into an exact model identifier and returns a confidence score — at high (≥0.85) you can use it immediately, at medium you should confirm with the user. compare-models.ts lays out pricing and capabilities side by side, get-endpoints.ts shows latency (p50–p99), uptime and throughput for each provider — this script requires an API key in the OPENROUTER_API_KEY variable.

Before first use, install dependencies: cd ~/.claude/skills/openrouter-models/scripts && npm install. All scripts run via npx tsx from the scripts folder. The agent picks the right script from the decision tree: for "what's cheaper" use list-models.ts --sort price, for "who has lower latency" use get-endpoints.ts sorted by latency. The API returns prices in dollars per token — scripts multiply by one million for readability.
