What This Skill Does

Routes tasks to free AI models via OpenRouter, delegating content writing, research, and code generation away from expensive primary models. Supports single tasks, typed dispatch for automatic model selection, and batch processing from a JSON file.

Automatically selects the best available free model by task type, so agents avoid paying for expensive models on tasks free models handle adequately.

When to use it

  • Draft a blog post without spending primary model credits
  • Research competitor pricing using a free analysis model
  • Generate boilerplate scripts for routine automation
  • Write email newsletter drafts in bulk
  • Batch process multiple independent content tasks in one run
