Usage for Agents

Give your AI coding assistant the knowledge to work with the OpenRouter Agent SDK by installing our official openrouter-typescript-sdk skill from the OpenRouterTeam/skills repository.

The skill covers both the Agent SDK (@openrouter/agent) and the Client SDKs (@openrouter/sdk). When working with the Agent SDK, your AI assistant will focus on the agent features: callModel, tool() definitions, stop conditions, streaming, and multi-turn conversations.

Quick Start

Claude Code

$
/plugin marketplace add OpenRouterTeam/skills
$
/plugin install openrouter@openrouter

Cursor

Add via Settings > Rules > Add Rule > Remote Rule (Github) with OpenRouterTeam/skills.

Skills CLI

Works with any supported agent (docs):

$
npx skills add OpenRouterTeam/skills

Supported AI Coding Assistants

The skill works with any AI coding assistant that supports the Agent Skills standard:

What the Skill Provides

Once installed, your AI coding assistant will have knowledge of:

• callModel API - The recommended approach for making AI model calls with full type safety and streaming support
• Tool Definitions - Creating tools with the tool() helper and Zod schemas
• Stop Conditions - Controlling agent loop termination with stepCountIs, maxCost, and more
• Streaming - Real-time token output within agent steps
• Multi-turn Conversations - Managing conversation state across turns
• Dynamic Parameters - Changing model, temperature, or tools between turns

Example Usage

After installing the skill, your AI assistant can help you with tasks like:

“Help me set up an OpenRouter agent”

The assistant will know to use:

1
import { callModel } from '@openrouter/agent';
2
3
const response = await callModel({
4
  model: 'anthropic/claude-sonnet-4',
5
  messages: [
6
    { role: 'user', content: 'Hello!' }
7
  ]
8
});

“Add a tool to my agent”

The assistant understands the tool pattern:

1
import { callModel, tool } from '@openrouter/agent';
2
import { z } from 'zod';
3
4
const searchTool = tool({
5
  name: 'search',
6
  description: 'Search the web',
7
  inputSchema: z.object({ query: z.string() }),
8
  execute: async ({ query }) => {
9
    return { results: ['...'] };
10
  },
11
});
12
13
const result = await callModel({
14
  model: 'anthropic/claude-sonnet-4',
15
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Search for TypeScript best practices' }],
16
  tools: [searchTool],
17
});
