What it does

Claudish Usage is an agent skill from MadAppGang/claudish. CRITICAL - Guide for using Claudish CLI ONLY through sub-agents to run Claude Code with any AI model (OpenRouter, Gemini, OpenAI, local models). NEVER run Claudish directly in main context unless user explicitly requests it. Use when user mentions external AI models, Claudish, OpenRouter, Gemini, OpenAI, Ollama, or alternative models. Includes mandatory sub-agent delegation patterns, agent selection guide, file-based instructions, and strict rules to prevent context window pollution.

Its SKILL.md is about 9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Subagents, Model routing and gateways and LLM inference and serving. It works with OpenAI, OpenRouter and Ollama. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code. Any Model. The most powerful AI coding agent now speaks every language.

When your agent uses it

User mentions external AI models
Alternative models

Example prompts

“/claudish-usage”

Requirements

Node.js
A credential in OPENROUTER_API_KEY
A credential in GEMINI_API_KEY

Workflow steps

12 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

Find the Right Agent
Agent Type Selection Matrix
Agent Creation Offer (When No Agent Exists)
Common Agents by Plugin
Example Agent Selection
Install Claudish
Get Available Models
Run Claudish
✅ Use File-Based Instructions
✅ Choose Right Model for Task
✅ Use --json for Automation
✅ Delegate to Sub-Agents

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2e4ac24. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- jq
- git
- npm
- bun
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
- openrouter.ai
- aistudio.google.com
- platform.openai.com
- github.com
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
- GEMINI_API_KEY
- OPENAI_API_KEY
- ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Claudish Usage loads about 9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 126 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,700 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~126
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~9k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,700 words (~8,971 tokens).
