Research, filter, compare, and evaluate AI models on OpenRouter — discover models by capability (tool use, vision, audio), get cost/context-aware recommendations, run head-to-head comparisons, and conduct deep research that goes beyond the OpenRouter catalog.
Use when the user wants to compare two or more OpenRouter models head-to-head. Triggers on phrases like "compare <model-a> and <model-b> on OpenRouter", "head-to-head OR comparison", "which is better — <model-a> or <model-b>", "side-by-side OpenRouter models", "diff these OR models".
Use when the user wants a deep evaluation of a single OpenRouter model that goes beyond the OR catalog — model card, paper, benchmarks, license, known limitations. Triggers on phrases like "evaluate <model> for <task>", "deep dive on <OR model>", "research <model> beyond OpenRouter", "is <model> good for <use case>", "tell me everything about <OR model>", "model card for <model>".
Use when the user wants to find OpenRouter models that accept audio input. Triggers on phrases like "OpenRouter audio models", "models that accept audio on OR", "speech input models on OpenRouter", "OpenRouter models for transcription", "audio-capable LLMs on OpenRouter".
Use when the user wants to find OpenRouter models that support tool use / function calling. Triggers on phrases like "OpenRouter models with tool use", "which OR models support function calling", "find tool-calling models on OpenRouter", "MCP-compatible models on OpenRouter", "models for agentic workflows on OR".
Use when the user wants to find vision-capable / multimodal image-input models on OpenRouter. Triggers on phrases like "OpenRouter vision models", "image-capable models on OR", "models that accept images on OpenRouter", "multimodal models on OpenRouter", "OCR-capable OR models", "find a vision model on OpenRouter for <task>".

A Claude Code plugin for researching, filtering, comparing, and evaluating AI models on OpenRouter. Pulls live data from the OpenRouter catalog (no API key required) and enriches it with external research where appropriate.
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
or-lookup-models | Foundation skill — fetches the OpenRouter catalog or a single model's record. |
or-find-tool-models | Filters the catalog to models supporting tool use / function calling. |
or-find-vision-models | Filters to vision-capable (image-input) models. |
or-find-audio-models | Filters to models that accept audio input. |
or-recommend-model | Interactive recommendation — asks about budget, context, modalities, then proposes a ranked shortlist. |
or-compare-models | Builds a head-to-head side-by-side comparison of 2+ models. |
or-evaluate-model | Deep evaluation of a single model — combines catalog data with model card, paper, license, benchmarks. |
or-research-models | Open-ended exploration of the catalog around a theme, family, or use case. |
The OpenRouter catalog is large and changes weekly. These skills:
/api/v1/models endpoint, so no API key is needed for research.Via the marketplace:
claude plugins install open-router-model-research@danielrosehill
Or directly:
claude plugins install danielrosehill/Open-Router-Model-Research-Plugin
Restart Claude Code after installing.
The skills fire automatically when relevant. Example prompts:
