Choose OpenRouter models and routers, query live catalog data, use structured outputs and batch inference, and debug routing with metadata. Use when working with OpenRouter APIs, openrouter/auto, openrouter/free, model discovery, pricing, providers, batch jobs, or structured JSON responses.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# openrouter One API for hundreds of models. Prefer live catalog data over memory; model IDs and prices change. ## Core Principles - Resolve informal names with `scripts/resolve-model.ts` before coding against a slug. - Prefer a concrete model when quality, cost, or providers must be fixed. Use `openrouter/auto` when the task type varies. Use `openrouter/free` only for zero-cost experiments. - Singular `model` picks one slug (or router). Plural `models: [...]` is the fallback chain — different field, different behavior. - Pay the selected model's rate for routers — no router surcharge. Default auto cost band is roughly `low` if unset. - Send `HTTP-Referer` and `X-Title` on app requests (OpenRouter app attribution). Opt in to routing visibility with `X-OpenRouter-Metadata: enabled`. Cache hits omit metadata. - Filter for capabilities (`tools`, `structured_outputs`, modalities) before picking a model; pin with `provider.require_parameters` when the feature is mandatory. - Batch is for async bulk work (24h window, ~50% token pricing). Sync API for streaming, multimodal base64, and OpenRouter-orchestrated web search. ## When to Use - Pick, compare, or price models on OpenRouter …

How to install
mdr add nateslabach/skills/openrouter@sha256:3f9dcc0bafbde413The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260929.47e7557, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
