What it does

Openrouter SDK Patterns is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Build reusable OpenRouter client wrappers with retries, typing, and middleware. Use when creating SDKs or client libraries. Triggers: 'openrouter sdk', 'openrouter client wrapper', 'openrouter patterns', 'openrouter library'.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/errors.md`, `references/examples.md` and `references/implementation.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Model routing and gateways. It works with OpenRouter, Python, TypeScript and OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Client libraries
  • Tasks that involve Model routing and gateways

Example prompts

  • “openrouter sdk”
  • “openrouter client wrapper”
  • “openrouter patterns”
  • “/openrouter-sdk-patterns”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js
  • A credential in OPENROUTER_API_KEY
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Bash(python3:*), Bash(node:*)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Grep
    • Bash(python3:*)
    • Bash(node:*)

    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 python and typescript).

    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:

    • openrouter.ai

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • OPENROUTER_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Openrouter SDK Patterns loads about 2.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 496 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8.2k

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.

OpenRouter SDK Patterns

Overview

Build production-grade OpenRouter client wrappers using the OpenAI SDK. The OpenAI Python/TypeScript SDKs work natively with OpenRouter by changing base_url to https://openrouter.ai/api/v1. This skill covers typed wrappers, retry strategies, middleware, and reusable patterns.

Prerequisites

  • An OpenRouter API key (sk-or-v1-...) exported as OPENROUTER_API_KEY — see the openrouter-install-auth skill for setup
  • Python 3.8+ with the OpenAI SDK plus requests (used for the /auth/key credits check and /generation cost lookups), or Node.js 18+ with the OpenAI SDK
  • Optional: tenacity if you want the custom retry decorator beyond the SDK's built-in backoff
  • An app name and URL to send as HTTP-Referer / X-Title default headers for dashboard attribution

Instructions

  1. Start from the Python: Production Client Wrapper (or the TypeScript variant): point the OpenAI SDK at base_url="https://openrouter.ai/api/v1", read OPENROUTER_API_KEY from the environment, and set the HTTP-Referer / X-Title default headers in the constructor.
  2. Return typed results from every call — the CompletionResult dataclass/interface captures content, the served model, prompt_tokens/completion_tokens, generation_id, and latency_ms.
  3. Tune the SDK's built-in retries per the Retry Strategy section (max_retries, timeout in the constructor); add the tenacity decorator only when you need retry behavior beyond the SDK's 429/5xx/connection handling.
  4. Layer cross-cutting concerns via the Middleware Pattern — with_cost_tracking queries GET /api/v1/generation?id= after each request and accumulates a session cost total.
  5. Surface remaining credits and rate limits with check_credits(), which calls GET /api/v1/auth/key with the same key.
  6. Map SDK exceptions using the Error Handling table, then apply the Enterprise Considerations (single central wrapper, dependency injection for tests, SLA-based max_retries).

import OpenAI from "openai";

interface CompletionResult {
  content: string;
  model: string;
  promptTokens: number;
  completionTokens: number;
  generationId: string;
  latencyMs: number;
}

class OpenRouterClient {
  private client: OpenAI;

  constructor(opts: { apiKey?: string; appName?: string; appUrl?: string } = {}) {
    this.client = new OpenAI({
      baseURL: "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1",
      apiKey: opts.apiKey ?? process.env.OPENROUTER_API_KEY,

const result = await or.complete("Explain recursion", { model: "openai/gpt-4o-mini", maxTokens: 200 });
console.log(result.content, `\n${result.model} | ${result.latencyMs}ms`);

Retry Strategy

The OpenAI SDK has built-in retries with exponential backoff for:

  • 429 (rate limit) -- respects Retry-After header
  • 5xx (server errors) -- retries with backoff
  • Connection errors -- retries on network failures
python
# Configure via constructor
client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://openrouter.ai/api/v1",
    api_key="sk-or-v1-...",
    max_retries=5,           # Default is 2
    timeout=120.0,           # Per-request timeout in seconds
)

For custom retry logic beyond the SDK:

python
import tenacity

@tenacity.retry(
    retry=tenacity.retry_if_exception_type((RateLimitError, APITimeoutError)),
    wait=tenacity.wait_exponential(min=1, max=60),
    stop=tenacity.stop_after_attempt(5),
    before_sleep=lambda state: log.warning(f"Retry {state.attempt_number}: {state.outcome.exception()}"),
)
def robust_complete(client, **kwargs):
    return client.chat.completions.create(**kwargs)

Middleware Pattern

python
from functools import wraps
from typing import Callable

def with_cost_tracking(fn: Callable) -> Callable:
    """Middleware that logs cost per request."""
    total_cost = {"value": 0.0}

    @wraps(fn)
    def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
        result = fn(*args, **kwargs)
        # Query generation cost asynchronously
        import requests
        gen = requests.get(
            f"https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/generation?id={result.id}",
            headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {args[0].api_key}"},
        ).json()
        cost = float(gen.get("data", {}).get("total_cost", 0))
        total_cost["value"] += cost
        log.info(f"Request cost: ${cost:.6f} | Session total: ${total_cost['value']:.4f}")
        return result
    wrapper.total_cost = total_cost
    return wrapper
Show full SKILL.md (198 more words)Show less

Output

  • A typed CompletionResult per call: content, the model that actually served the request, prompt_tokens/completion_tokens, the gen-... generation_id, and latency_ms
  • A structured log line per request, e.g. [openai/gpt-4o-mini] 12+87 tokens, 843.2ms
  • Cost-tracking middleware output: per-request cost plus a running session total, e.g. Request cost: $0.000123 | Session total: $0.0045
  • A credits dict from check_credits() with usage and limit data from /api/v1/auth/key

Examples

Instantiate the wrapper once and make a typed call:

python
or_client = OpenRouterClient(app_name="my-saas")
result = or_client.complete("Explain recursion", model="openai/gpt-4o-mini", max_tokens=200)
print(f"{result.model} | {result.latency_ms}ms | {result.prompt_tokens}+{result.completion_tokens} tokens")
# openai/gpt-4o-mini | 812.4ms | 11+142 tokens

The reference implementation also shows task helpers (summarize, classify) built on the same wrapper. More worked examples: references/examples.md.

Error Handling

ExceptionHTTPCauseFix
AuthenticationError401Bad API keyCheck OPENROUTER_API_KEY
RateLimitError429Too many requestsSDK auto-retries; increase max_retries
APITimeoutError--Response too slowIncrease timeout; use streaming
BadRequestError400Invalid paramsCheck model ID, messages format

Enterprise Considerations

  • Centralize all OpenRouter calls through a single client wrapper for consistent logging, retries, and cost tracking
  • Type all response shapes with dataclasses/interfaces for compile-time safety
  • Use dependency injection to swap between OpenRouter and direct provider clients in tests
  • Set max_retries based on your SLA (2 for interactive, 5 for batch)
  • Wrap middleware in try/catch so instrumentation never breaks the main request flow
