Skill newmindsgroup/ai-agent-skills-library/dist/skills/claude-code-router
Set up or explain Claude Code Router for multi-model routing, provider switching, and cost optimization across Claude Code workflows. Activate when the user asks about model routing, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Ollama, Gemini, background vs thinking models, or how to make Claude Code cheaper and more flexible without changing Anthropic's CLI foundation.From its SKILL.md

Claude Code Router
This skill wraps the musistudio/claude-code-router repo so Codex can use it as a knowledge source and setup guide.
What it is for
- Routing Claude Code requests to different providers or models
- Separating cheap background models from premium reasoning models
- Using OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Ollama, Gemini, and similar providers behind Claude Code
- Explaining presets, transformers, and provider-specific routing
- Helping design a cheaper or more controllable Claude Code model stack
Important scope note
This repo is for Claude Code, not for Codex runtime routing itself.
Use it when:
- the user wants a Claude Code routing setup
- the user wants to understand the router repo from the video
- the user wants help configuring provider/model strategy
Do not pretend it changes how Codex itself selects models.
How to use it
- Reference the vendored repo snapshot:
/Users/newmindsgroup/.codex/vendor_imports/latest-video/claude-code-router
- Read
README.mdfor install and config patterns. - If needed, inspect examples under:
/Users/newmindsgroup/.codex/vendor_imports/latest-video/claude-code-router/examples
- Use the installed
ccrCLI when demonstrating or validating commands.
Good triggers
- "Set up model routing for Claude Code"
- "Use OpenRouter with Claude Code"
- "Use cheaper models for background tasks"
- "How does Claude Code Router work?"
- "Configure DeepSeek or Ollama behind Claude Code"
