OpenRouter Skill Pack

Flagship+ tier: 30 production-grade skills for OpenRouter LLM gateway mastery

Overview

Complete Claude Code skill pack for OpenRouter -- the unified API for 300+ LLM models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Mistral, and more. Every skill contains real API calls to https://openrouter.ai/api/v1, real model IDs, real provider routing, and real cost/credit management code.

Installation

# Via Claude Code
/plugin install openrouter-pack@claude-code-plugins-plus

What's Covered

• OpenAI SDK compatibility -- change base_url and api_key, everything works
• Real model IDs -- anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet, openai/gpt-4o, google/gemini-2.0-flash-001, etc.
• Provider routing -- provider.order, allow_fallbacks, :floor variant
• Native fallbacks -- models array with route: "fallback"
• Credit system -- /api/v1/auth/key, /api/v1/generation?id=, management keys
• Production patterns -- streaming, tool calling, caching, rate limiting, error handling
