Implement "Sign In with OpenRouter" using OAuth PKCE — framework-agnostic, no SDK or client registration required. Use when the user wants to add OpenRouter login, authentication, sign-in buttons, OAuth, or AI model inference API keys for browser-based apps. No client registration, no backend, no secrets required.
npx skill4agent add openrouterteam/skills openrouter-oauth| User wants to… | Do this |
|---|---|
| Add sign-in / login to a web app | Follow the full PKCE flow + button guidance below |
| Get an API key programmatically (no UI) | Just implement the PKCE flow — skip the button section |
| Use the OpenRouter SDK after auth | Do PKCE here for the key, then see |
