What do you want to do?

4 use cases

  • Preview which agent and model a task would use

    Run a dry run to see the agent, model, and effort the router would pick, without launching anything.

    View prompt
    In the agent-router repo, run `router run "<task description>" --dry-run` and report the Selected line, the Why line, and the Quota line from the decision card. Verify that no Herdr pane was opened and no command was started.

  • Launch a task in a Herdr pane with the chosen agent

    Let the router pick an agent, open a new Herdr pane, start it, and hand it the task.

    View prompt
    In the agent-router repo, run `router run "<task description>"` from inside a Herdr pane and report the exit code. Verify that a new pane opened with the selected agent running, and that `router session` lists this launch.

  • Check subscription quota before routing a task

    Read account usage with the status command so you know which subscriptions still have capacity.

    View prompt
    In the agent-router repo, run `router status --usage` and list each account with its quota and whether it is eligible. Verify that shared accounts show their reserve and that no personal account is excluded only because quota is missing.

  • Let an agent route its next work phase via skill

    Link the model-router skill so an agent can route the next phase of your work through the router.

    View prompt
    Using the model-router skill from the agent-router repo, route the next phase of the plan at <plan path> and report which agent, model, and effort the router selected. Verify that the router decision card appears in the output before any work starts.

How to use Agent Router

  1. Check you have what it needs: Node.js 20 or newer; A TypeSafe API key, since routing always calls TypeSafe; At least one agent CLI you are logged in to: agent (Cursor), claude (Claude Code), codex, or opencode.
  2. Open nidhi-singh02/agent-router on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Run git clone https://github.com/nidhi-singh02/agent-router.git and change into the cloned folder.
  4. Run npm install and then npm run build.
  5. Run npm link -w @agent-router/router to put router on your PATH.
  6. Store your TypeSafe key with security add-generic-password -a "$USER" -s model-router-typesafe -w on macOS, then add your accounts to .model-router/config.json.

These steps come from our top use case, Preview which agent and model a task would use, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
