create-agent

Bootstrap a modular AI agent with OpenRouter SDK, extensible hooks, and optional terminal UI. This skill helps you create a modular AI agent with: Get an OpenRouter API key at: ⚠️ Security: Never commit API keys. Use environment variables. Create src/agent.ts - the standalone agent that can run anywhere: Create src/tools.ts : Create src/headless.ts - use the agent programmatically: Run headless: OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-... npm run start:headless Create src/cli.tsx - a beautiful terminal UI that uses the agent with items-based streaming: Run TUI: OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-... npm start The OpenRouter SDK uses an items-based streaming model - a key paradigm where items are emitted multiple times with the same ID but progressively updated content. Instead of accumulating chunks, you replace items by their ID . Each iteration of getItemsStream() yields a complete item with updated content: For function calls, arguments stream progressively: Traditional (accumulation required): Items (complete replacement): Benefits: The SDK uses an items-based streaming model where items are emitted multiple times with the same ID but progressively updated content. Replace items by their ID rather than accumulating chunks. Do not hardcode model IDs - they change frequently.
