Claudish is a CLI proxy tool that allows Claude Code to interface with any model available on OpenRouter, providing access to Grok, Gemini, MiniMax, and more.

Why should I use sub-agents instead of running Claudish directly?

Running Claudish in the main context adds over 10,000 tokens of overhead (including reasoning and tool outputs), which quickly exhausts your context window. Sub-agents keep your main conversation clean.

What models are recommended for coding tasks?

For fast iterations, x-ai/grok-code-fast-1 is highly recommended. For complex architecture and deep reasoning, google/gemini-2.5-flash or openai/gpt-5 are the preferred choices.

How do I install the necessary tools for this skill?

You need the Claudish CLI, which can be installed via npm with 'npm install -g claudish'. You also need an OpenRouter API key set in your environment variables.

Can I use Claudish for UI and frontend design?

Yes, by selecting vision-capable models like Qwen-VL through Claudish, you can perform visual analysis and UI implementation tasks directly within your workflow.

Developer Tools

Integrates external OpenRouter models into Claude Code workflows while maintaining context efficiency through intelligent sub-agent delegation.

Claudish Usage is a specialized framework for running Claude Code with OpenRouter's extensive model library—including Grok, GPT-5, and Gemini—without overwhelming the main conversation's context window. It enforces a strict sub-agent execution pattern that keeps main sessions lean, provides a curated model selection guide based on task types (coding, reasoning, vision), and includes implementation patterns for file-based instruction passing. This skill is essential for developers wanting to leverage multi-model workflows, cost-optimize their AI usage, or utilize specific model strengths for specialized software development tasks.

Key Features

01Access to 100+ OpenRouter models including Grok-3, GPT-5, and Gemini 2.0.

02Support for both direct agent invocation and file-based instruction workflows.

03Intelligent agent selection matrix for specialized tasks like architecture and code review.

04Integrated CLI tools for model fuzzy searching, top-model recommendations, and cost tracking.

05Mandatory sub-agent delegation patterns to prevent 10K+ token context pollution.
