What it does

Horse Routing is an agent skill from HashLoad/horse. Guidelines for setting up endpoints, defining path parameters, route wildcards, and structuring HTTP controllers.

Its SKILL.md is about 720 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Fast, opinionated, minimalist web framework for Delphi. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

“Use the horse-routing skill to guideline for setting up endpoints, defining path parameters, route wildcards, and structuring HTTP controllers”
“/horse-routing”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d4351a5. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are pascal).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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

Horse Routing loads about 722 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 201 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~722

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description: Guidelines for setting up endpoints, defining path parameters, route wildcards, and structuring HTTP controllers.

Horse Routing

Defining HTTP Endpoints

Horse supports registering endpoints for all standard HTTP verbs using static or instance methods:

pascal

THorse.Get('/products', GetProductsHandler);
THorse.Post('/products', CreateProductHandler);
THorse.Put('/products', UpdateProductHandler);
THorse.Delete('/products', DeleteProductHandler);
THorse.Patch('/products', PatchProductHandler);

Route Parameters

Path parameters are defined using the colon syntax (:param):

Correct: THorse.Get('/users/:id', GetUserHandler);
Incorrect: THorse.Get('/users/{id}', GetUserHandler);

Inside the handler, you access the parameter via Req.Params.Items['id'] (or Req.Params['id']).

Wildcards

Use the wildcard asterisk (*) to match any subpath:

pascal

// Matches /public/css/site.css, /public/images/logo.png, etc.
THorse.Get('/public/*', ServeStaticFilesHandler);

Route Grouping & Prefixes (THorse.Group)

You can group related routes under a common path prefix using THorse.Group. This is highly useful for API versioning (e.g., /v1) and isolating group-level middlewares:

Prefixing Routes:

pascal

THorse.Group.Prefix('/v1')
  .Get('/products', GetProductsHandler)
  .Get('/customers', GetCustomersHandler);

Group-level Middlewares (Restricted Middlewares): Instead of registering a middleware globally via THorse.Use, you can register it specifically for a group using .Use(). The middleware will only run for endpoints defined inside that group:
pascal
```
THorse.Group.Prefix('/admin')
  .Use(AuthMiddleware) // Only runs for routes under /admin
  .Get('/dashboard', GetDashboardHandler)
  .Get('/settings', GetSettingsHandler);
```

Route-level Middlewares (Local)

You can pass an array of route-specific middlewares (array of THorseCallback) to apply checks only to a single endpoint. These run after global and group-level middlewares:

Static routing:

pascal

THorse.Get('/admin/dashboard', [AuthMiddleware, LoggerMiddleware], GetDashboardHandler);

Fluent routing:

pascal

THorse.Route('/reports')
  .Get([AuthMiddleware, LoggerMiddleware], GetReportsHandler)
  .Post([AuthMiddleware], CreateReportHandler);

Grouping with Controllers

To keep routes organized, group them logically within static class methods or dedicated units:

pascal

type
  TUserController = class
  public
    class procedure RegisterRoutes;
    class procedure ListUsers(Req: THorseRequest; Res: THorseResponse; Next: TProc);
  end;

class procedure TUserController.RegisterRoutes;
begin
  THorse.Get('/users', ListUsers);
end;

How do I install Horse Routing in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add HashLoad/horse --skill horse-routing -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (doc/skills/horse-routing in HashLoad/horse) into .claude/skills/horse-routing in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Horse Routing in Codex?

Run `npx skills add HashLoad/horse --skill horse-routing -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (doc/skills/horse-routing in HashLoad/horse) into .agents/skills/horse-routing in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Horse Routing in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add HashLoad/horse --skill horse-routing -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/horse-routing, .gemini/skills/horse-routing, .github/skills/horse-routing and .opencode/skills/horse-routing in your project.

What does Horse Routing need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Horse Routing is instructions for the agent only.

Does Horse Routing access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Horse Routing safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Horse Routing use?

Horse Routing is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Horse Routing use?

About 722 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Horse Routing?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Horse Routing: Nv Endpoint Routed Tool Provider (novuhq/novu, 40k stars), OmniRoute Combo Routing (diegosouzapw/OmniRoute, 74k stars), Parameters (thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist, 74k stars) and OmniRoute Routing CLI (diegosouzapw/OmniRoute, 74k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Horse Routing?

HashLoad (a GitHub organization) maintains it in HashLoad/horse, which has 1,377 GitHub stars. The repository holds 23 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 7, 2026.
