claude-ai-models

A Claude Code skill that fetches the latest AI model IDs from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google — so Claude always uses up-to-date model names in your code.

No API keys needed. The skill scrapes public sources to get the latest model lists.

Why?

Claude's training data has a knowledge cutoff. When you ask it to write code calling AI APIs, it often uses outdated model IDs (e.g., gpt-4-turbo when gpt-5.2 already exists). This skill fixes that by fetching the real, current model list before writing any code.

Install

npx claude-ai-models

That's it. The skill is now active in Claude Code.

How it works

When Claude writes code that calls an AI API, it automatically runs a bash script that:

1. Anthropic — Scrapes the official docs page for claude-* model IDs
2. OpenAI — Fetches the SDK source file on GitHub (auto-generated from their OpenAPI spec — the true source of truth)
3. Google — Scrapes the Gemini docs page for gemini-* model IDs

The script does all the heavy lifting (curl + grep/sort), so Claude only receives a clean list of model IDs — minimal token usage.

Commands

npx claude-ai-models install    # Install (default)
npx claude-ai-models uninstall  # Remove the skill
npx claude-ai-models test       # Fetch models to verify it works
npx claude-ai-models help       # Show help

Manual usage

You can also run the fetch script directly:

bash ~/.claude/skills/ai-models/fetch-models.sh             # All providers
bash ~/.claude/skills/ai-models/fetch-models.sh --anthropic  # Anthropic only
bash ~/.claude/skills/ai-models/fetch-models.sh --openai     # OpenAI only
bash ~/.claude/skills/ai-models/fetch-models.sh --google     # Google only
