FAQPage Schema
How do I route LLM requests between multiple AI providers like OpenAI, Grok, and DeepSeek?▼

LLM routing lets you switch between providers for different tasks. This Skill routes requests to OpenAI, Grok, Groq, DeepSeek, and OpenRouter using SwiftOpenAI-CLI, letting you pick the best model for coding, brainstorming, or reasoning without reconfiguring your workflow.

Can I use different LLM providers without manually reconfiguring API keys each time?▼

Yes. This Skill automates provider switching by managing API key verification and configuration across OpenAI, Grok, Groq, DeepSeek, and OpenRouter, so you change providers with a single command rather than manual setup.

What do I need to set up before routing requests to multiple LLM providers?▼

You need SwiftOpenAI-CLI installed and updated, valid API keys for your chosen providers, and the ability to run shell scripts. The Skill includes scripts to verify installation and configure each provider.

How does LLM routing work with agent tasks like coding assistance or explanations?▼

The Skill executes one-shot agent tasks by routing your request to a specified provider using SwiftOpenAI-CLI agent mode, optionally adding MCP tools and managing session output in multiple formats for coding, brainstorming, or problem-solving tasks.

Can I route to specialized models like DeepSeek Reasoner for complex problems?▼

Yes. You can configure and route to DeepSeek Reasoner or other specialized models per provider. Select the model during provider configuration, then route your task to leverage that model's specific strengths.

What are the limitations of switching between LLM providers in a single workflow?▼

You must maintain active API keys and valid credentials for each provider you switch to. Provider availability, rate limits, and pricing vary by service; routing does not bypass provider-specific constraints or quotas.
