At a glance
Manages OpenWork's inference model aliases, discounts and overlays over the upstream OpenRouter catalog, and triggers the GitHub workflow that refreshes base models.
- Works in 4 steps: Run extract-source-models.mjs --query ""… → If there is no good match, ask the user… → If there are multiple plausible matches,… → …
- Adding, removing or discounting a model in OpenWork's model list
- SKILL.md covers Scripts, Update Models Workflow, Add Workflow and Remove Workflow, plus 2 more sections
- Runs JavaScript scripts from its folder; calls node; reaches inference.openworklabs.com
What it does
The skill treats ee/apps/gateway/src/models/base.json, under the openrouter provider key, as the source of truth for available upstream models, and ee/apps/gateway/src/models/openwork-models.json as the editable OpenWork model list that a build script turns into the live provider overlay, pointing at a local or production inference API depending on an environment flag. Rather than inspecting the large base.json directly in chat, three Node scripts keep that body out of context: one extracts or searches source models to a temp file, one searches, adds, removes or otherwise manages OpenWork models, and one triggers the remote base-model refresh workflow.
When asked to update, refresh or sync models from models.dev, the skill never edits base.json by hand. It dispatches the update-models GitHub Actions workflow, watches the run, finds the automation pull request, waits for auto-merge, and reports the merged PR URL, or reports clearly if the workflow found no changes or if the workflow or PR failed or closed unmerged. Adding a model follows a search-then-confirm flow: search by the user's text, ask for clarification on no match, and list candidates for the user to choose from on multiple matches.
When your agent uses it
- Adding, removing or discounting a model in OpenWork's model list
- Refreshing OpenWork's base models from models.dev
- Auditing which models are currently exposed through OpenWork
- Checking the status of an automated model-update pull request
Example prompts
- “Add z-ai/glm-5.1 to the OpenWork model list.”
- “Update the models from models.dev and tell me when the PR merges.”
- “Search the source models for anything matching 'zai 5.1'.”
Requirements
- Node.js to run the model management scripts
- GitHub Actions access to dispatch the update-models workflow
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Run extract-source-models.mjs --query "" or
- If there is no good match, ask the user for clarification.
- If there are multiple plausible matches, list the matching IDs and ask which
- Once exact IDs are known, run openwork-models.mjs add "" for each ID.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e7d03dd. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 3 files in scripts/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
node
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
inference.openworklabs.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
OpenWork Model Alias Manager loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 367 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 367 words (~1,121 tokens).
“Use this skill for OpenWork inference model changes. The source of truth for available upstream models is:”
