# RouterBase Model Gateway ## Overview Use [routerbase](https://routerbase.com/) when an application needs one OpenAI-compatible API surface for model routing across GPT, Claude, Gemini, image, video, audio, and embedding workloads. This skill helps agents migrate existing OpenAI SDK calls, document model-selection tradeoffs, and produce safe implementation snippets without exposing credentials. RouterBase model availability, pricing, and provider capabilities can change, so treat examples as starting points and verify current catalog data before production recommendations. ## When to Use This Skill - Use when migrating an OpenAI-compatible client to RouterBase by changing the base URL and model ID. - Use when selecting primary and fallback models for chat, reasoning, vision, media generation, audio, or embeddings. - Use when debugging RouterBase request setup, headers, environment variables, streaming, tool calls, JSON mode, or multimodal payloads. - Use when documenting an internal model-routing plan that balances cost, latency, quality, and provider redundancy. ## How It Works ### Step 1: Classify the Workload Identify the modality and hard constraints before choosing a model: -

What does the routerbase-model-gateway skill do?
Integrate RouterBase as an OpenAI-compatible model gateway for routing GPT, Claude, Gemini, media, audio, and embedding requests.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill routerbase-model-gateway --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
