Why this level
- The OpenRouter key spends a paid balance on every request and every image or video generation.
Install
- Works in
In your terminal, with SkillFoxx CLI

What it does
A set of 18 skills for Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, Codex and Pi. Each skill loads when a request matches its topic and gives the agent working knowledge of one OpenRouter area: the model catalog, image and video generation, speech recognition and synthesis, OAuth sign-in, spending analytics. Two skills act as scaffolds. `create-agent-tui` generates a TypeScript terminal agent with configurable input and session persistence, and `create-headless-agent` builds an agent without a UI for API servers, queue workers and pipelines. The rest document API calls: `POST /api/v1/images` for pictures, `POST /api/v1/audio/transcriptions` for speech transcription. The scripts read the key from the `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` variable.
Who it is for. Developers building on OpenRouter who want an agent to call models, generate media and analyze spending.
Good fit when
- A project moves from the `@openrouter/sdk` package to the standalone `@openrouter/agent`.
- A picture or short clip has to be produced from a text description through the API.
- A model is chosen by price, context length and provider speed.
- An app gets Sign in with OpenRouter through OAuth PKCE without an SDK.
- Spending jumped this week and request statistics are used to find the costliest models.
Not a fit when
- The project talks straight to another provider's API and has no OpenRouter in it.
- The team has no OpenRouter account and plans none: the skill scripts cannot run without a key.
- Customer requirements forbid sending model requests through an external gateway.
Example request
Compare price and context length of three OpenRouter models, then generate an image from a description with `openrouter-images`.Limitations
The skills document a paid service: model requests and image, speech and video generation spend the OpenRouter account balance, and the scripts will not run without `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`. The repository states no license. Some interfaces, for example `POST /api/alpha/decisions` from the `openrouter-decisions` skill, sit in the alpha track, so the response format may change. Video is created asynchronously: the agent submits a job, polls its status and downloads the result. Auto-update works only in agents with plugin support, and Cursor is connected manually through `Settings > Rules > Add Rule > Remote Rule (GitHub)`.
How to disable. Remove the plugin through the Claude Code plugin manager and delete skills installed with `gh skill install` from the agent's skills directory. Revoke the key on the OpenRouter keys page.
FAQ
How do I install the OpenRouter skills in Claude Code?
Run `/plugin marketplace add OpenRouterTeam/skills`, then `/plugin install openrouter@openrouter`. The skills appear in the session and the plugin updates itself.
How do I install a single skill out of eighteen?
Use GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or newer: `gh skill install OpenRouterTeam/skills openrouter-images`. The `--scope user` flag makes the skill available in every project and `--agent` picks the agent.
Is an OpenRouter account required?
Yes. The scripts need a key in `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`, created on the `openrouter.ai/keys` page. Without a key a skill remains a reference.
What does the create-agent-tui skill generate?
A TypeScript terminal agent scaffold: input styles, tool display modes, an ASCII banner, session persistence and 14 built-in tools.
Which skill shows spending by model?
`openrouter-analytics` answers questions about spend, request counts, latency and tokens. `openrouter-analytics-schema` and `openrouter-analytics-query` handle the metric schema and query building.
