What it does

Gateway is an agent skill from theopenco/llmgateway. Change the LLM Gateway request path in apps/gateway — chat and other endpoints, routing and provider selection, error and finish-reason classification, streaming, request logging, Redis use, user-supplied content URLs, and graceful shutdown. Use when editing apps/gateway/src or packages/actions request shaping, adding an endpoint, fetching remote content, changing fallback or routing, or debugging missing logs, hung Redis commands, or shutdown errors.

Its SKILL.md is about 740 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 Databases, covering Model routing and gateways. It works with Redis. The repository describes itself as: Route, manage, and analyze your LLM requests across multiple providers with a unified API interface.

When your agent uses it

  • Editing apps/gateway/src
  • Packages/actions request shaping
  • Adding an endpoint
  • Fetching remote content

Example prompts

  • “/gateway”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 414b1b9. 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.

    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

Gateway loads about 736 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 116 tokens; SKILL.md has 299 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~116
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~736

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 299 words (~736 tokens).

“The gateway is latency-critical and high-throughput.”

How do I install Gateway in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add theopenco/llmgateway --skill gateway -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/gateway in theopenco/llmgateway) into .claude/skills/gateway in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Gateway in Codex?

Can I use Gateway 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 theopenco/llmgateway --skill gateway -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/gateway, .gemini/skills/gateway, .github/skills/gateway and .opencode/skills/gateway in your project.

What does Gateway need to run?

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

Does Gateway 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 Gateway 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 Gateway use?

Gateway has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.

How many tokens does Gateway use?

About 736 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.
