## What it does

The reference covers two packages. `@openrouter/agent` provides the `callModel` pattern, tools, streaming, and stop conditions; `@openrouter/sdk` handles platform features such as model listings, chat completions, OAuth, and API keys. It also describes retrieving generated text from a model response.

API requests require an OpenRouter key supplied through `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`. For user-facing apps, the guide outlines OAuth with PKCE: create an authorization code, then exchange it for the user’s key. Keep keys in environment variables rather than source code. Installing this skill is separate from adding either SDK package to your project.

## When to use it
- connect a TypeScript client to OpenRouter
- call a model with `callModel`
- add tools and streaming to an agent
- let users authorize through OAuth PKCE
- manage API keys from application code

## Example prompts
- Show me how to call an OpenRouter model with `callModel` in my TypeScript project.
- Explain how to add tools with `@openrouter/agent`.
- Walk me through OAuth PKCE and exchanging an authorization code for a user API key.
