Does this skill provide real-time cost auditing?

Yes, it includes methods to query the specific generation ID after a request to retrieve the exact total cost directly from OpenRouter's billing data.

Can I set different credit limits for production and development keys?

Yes, the skill includes Python patterns for the OpenRouter management API that allow you to provision multiple keys, each with its own specific dollar-amount credit limit.

How do I check my remaining OpenRouter credits using this skill?

You can use the provided bash scripts or curl commands within the skill to query the OpenRouter auth/key endpoint, returning current usage, limits, and remaining balance.

What are the :floor and :free model variants?

These are special OpenRouter routing suffixes. ':floor' automatically picks the cheapest provider for a model, while ':free' routes to free instances of models like Gemma when available.
