Give your AI coding assistant the knowledge to work with the OpenRouter Client SDKs by installing our official openrouter-typescript-sdk skill from the OpenRouterTeam/skills repository. The skill covers both the Client SDKs (@openrouter/sdk) and the Agent SDK (@openrouter/agent). When working with the Client SDKs, your AI assistant will focus on the platform features: model listing, chat completions, credits, OAuth, and API key management.

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.

GitHub CLI

Requires GitHub CLI v2.90.0+. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, Codex, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, and many more agents:
gh skill install OpenRouterTeam/skills openrouter-typescript-sdk

What the Skill Provides

Once installed, your AI coding assistant will have knowledge of:
  • SDK Installation & Setup - How to install and configure @openrouter/sdk in TypeScript projects
  • Chat Completions - Working with the chat API for conversations
  • Embeddings - Generating embeddings for semantic search and RAG
  • Error Handling - Proper error handling patterns
  • Streaming - Real-time streaming responses
  • Tool Use - Implementing function calling and tools
  • API Key Management - Programmatic API key creation and management
  • OAuth - PKCE authentication flow for user-facing applications

Example Usage

After installing the skill, your AI assistant can help you with tasks like: “Help me set up OpenRouter in my project” The assistant will know to use:
import { OpenRouter } from '@openrouter/sdk';

const client = new OpenRouter();

const completion = await client.chat.send({
  model: 'anthropic/claude-sonnet-4',
  messages: [
    { role: 'user', content: 'Hello!' }
  ]
});
“Add streaming to my OpenRouter call” The assistant understands the streaming API:
import { OpenRouter } from '@openrouter/sdk';

const client = new OpenRouter();

const stream = await client.chat.send({
  model: 'anthropic/claude-sonnet-4',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Tell me a story' }],
  stream: true
});

for await (const chunk of stream) {
  process.stdout.write(chunk.choices[0]?.delta?.content ?? '');
}
If you need higher-level primitives for building agents — multi-turn loops, tool definitions, stop conditions — see the Agent SDK instead.
