Droid Model Setup is an agent skill from nikships/droidproxy. Configure any third-party model as a custom model in Factory Droid (~/.factory/settings.json): resolve specs (context window, max output tokens, reasoning efforts), write a safe config entry, set session defaults, and prove the wiring with a live droid exec run and, when needed, an exact request-body capture. Fully open-ended: use whenever the user asks to "set X, Y, Z models up for a Droid", add/register a custom model, fix a model that ignores its reasoning setting, raise max tokens or context for BYOK models…
Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/droid_models.py`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Context engineering. It works with OpenAI and OpenRouter. The repository describes itself as: macOS menu bar app that proxies Claude/Codex/Grok + More subscriptions for use with Factory Droid CLI. Actively maintained and updated with new model releases! The licence is MIT.
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cb3b8b5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
openrouter.aiFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Droid Model Setup loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 186 tokens; SKILL.md has 826 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.
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.

.claude/skills/droid-model-setup/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder). This skill also uses 1 other file; get the full folder from GitHub.Turns any OpenAI-compatible (and most Anthropic-compatible) endpoint into a first-class Droid
model. Covers spec lookup, safe writes to ~/.factory/settings.json, session-default effort
wiring, and empirical verification. Knowledge below was verified Aug 2026 against the real binary
by capturing Droid's outgoing request bodies.
https://openrouter.ai/<vendor>/<slug> — gives context
window, max completion tokens, supported reasoning efforts, pricing.--reuse-key-from <existing-model-id> (reads the real stored bytes; the asterisks you see in
file reads are display-only redaction, and Python sees through them).https://openrouter.ai/api/v1, LM Studio http://127.0.0.1:1234/v1,
llama.cpp/vLLM/Ollama-OpenAI http://127.0.0.1:<port>/v1.generic-chat-completion-api covers every OpenAI-compatible endpoint
tested (OpenRouter, W&B, LM Studio, MTPLX). openai also works for OpenAI-compat APIs.id in settings becomes the CLI-facing name: -m custom:<id>.set-defaults subcommand sets model + matching reasoningEffort together).Never text-edit ~/.factory/settings.json. Existing apiKey values render as runs of
asterisks inside the agent's file viewer; a string-replacement edit that touches those lines
writes literal asterisks to disk and destroys real keys. Use scripts/droid_models.py, which
mutates parsed JSON (untouched values stay byte-identical), backs the file up first, and
afterward diffs every pre-existing key — restoring automatically and failing loudly if anything
changed. If you must edit manually anyway (new top-level keys etc.), anchor edits far away from
apiKey lines, then diff {id: len(apiKey)} old-vs-new via Python before declaring success.
Config is not verification. A written entry proves nothing. Always finish with:
droid exec -m custom:<model-id> 'Reply with exactly: config-ok'A successful run also re-proves the API key survived whatever edit preceded it.
Captured exact body for a generic-chat-completion-api custom model:
{"model":"<slug>","stream":true,"max_tokens":<N>,"temperature":1,"reasoning_effort":"<effort>"}stream:true is hardcoded, plus stream_options.include_usage);
there is no settings knob and none needed.reasoning_effort alone carries the intent;
OpenRouter maps it to reasoning.effort. Anthropic-style paths instead get
reasoning_effort verbatim plus budget_tokens (low 4096, medium 12288,
high/xhigh 24576, max = uncapped/0).maxOutputTokens maps 1:1 to max_tokens. Omit it and Droid falls back to small built-in
ceilings — always set it to the model's real max completion tokens.none, minimal, low, medium, high, xhigh, max, dynamic, off.-r/--reasoning-effort flag >
sessionDefaultSettings.reasoningEffort > customModels[].reasoningEffort. Classic bug:
model entry says max, session default says none → sessions run with thinking off. When
configuring for real use, set BOTH (the script's set-defaults does this atomically).extraArgs is the escape hatch: arbitrary JSON merged last into every request body
(wins over everything). Example: "extraArgs": {"top_p": 0.9}. No --stream style toggles —
only body params.All fields observed in the binary's zod schema (optional unless noted):
model* (upstream slug), id, index (unique int — script auto-picks),
baseUrl, apiKey | apiKeyHelper(+apiKeyHelperTtlMs), authMode ("bearer" for Anthropic
SDK token path), provider*, displayName, maxContextLimit, maxOutputTokens,
enableThinking, thinkingMaxTokens, reasoningEffort, noImageSupport,
extraHeaders, extraArgs, bedrock, baseModelId.
Token counts between efforts are NOT reliable proof of transmission (tiny prompts barely trigger thinking at any effort). To prove exact request bodies, do a wire capture:
python3 scripts/droid_models.py add ... --base-url http://127.0.0.1:8899/v1 --api-key test-key).droid exec -m custom:dump-test -r max hi — exec fails on the fake response AFTER capture;
ignore the failure, read /tmp/dump_requests.jsonl.remove custom:dump-test) and kill the server.Post-restart check: Droid has been observed keeping settings intact across restarts, but if a restart behaves oddly, simply Read settings.json again — if the entries are gone, they are gone; do not try to reconstruct state from caches or hack around it. Just re-run this skill's add commands (specs are cheap to re-fetch, keys come from wherever they're stored).

max_tokens:131072 + stream:true in the actual outgoing body.

Droid Model Setup fits situations like: the user asks to set X; Z models up for a Droid; add/register a custom model; fix a model that ignores its reasoning setting.
Run `npx skills add nikships/droidproxy --skill droid-model-setup -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/droid-model-setup in nikships/droidproxy) into .claude/skills/droid-model-setup in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add nikships/droidproxy --skill droid-model-setup -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/droid-model-setup in nikships/droidproxy) into .agents/skills/droid-model-setup in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add nikships/droidproxy --skill droid-model-setup -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/droid-model-setup, .gemini/skills/droid-model-setup, .github/skills/droid-model-setup and .opencode/skills/droid-model-setup in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Droid Model Setup needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python3). Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: openrouter.ai; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
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. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Droid Model Setup is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 8.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
