Which models can I use with this skill?

It supports models from OpenRouter, OpenAI, Google Gemini, MiniMax, Kimi (Moonshot), GLM (Zhipu), and local providers like Ollama, vLLM, and LM Studio.

What is PROXY_MODE in Claude Code?

PROXY_MODE is a directive placed at the start of a prompt that tells a supported agent to delegate the task to an external AI model via the Claudish interface.

Does every Claude Code agent support PROXY_MODE?

No, only agents explicitly defined with 'proxy_mode_support' recognize the directive. However, you can use the Bash + CLI pattern as a fallback for any agent.

How do I avoid routing prefix collisions?

You can use specific direct API prefixes like 'oai/' for OpenAI or 'g/' for Gemini, or choose OpenRouter model IDs that do not conflict with the standard routing table.

Developer Tools

Enables delegation of tasks to external AI models using the PROXY_MODE directive for multi-model reviews and specialized model integration.

This skill provides a comprehensive reference and capability for routing Claude Code tasks to external LLMs like OpenAI, Gemini, Grok, and various specialized providers via Claudish. It allows users to leverage the strengths of different models—such as cost-effective reasoning or specific domain knowledge—directly within the Claude environment. The skill includes a complete routing prefix guide for direct APIs (MiniMax, Kimi, GLM), identifies over 25 compatible agents across multiple plugins, and provides troubleshooting patterns for seamless multi-model orchestration and debugging.

Key Features
