Arcli — AI skill for Claude Code

arcli

Point your AI coding tools at [AgentRouter](https://agentrouter.org) — one command, no hand-editing config files.

Supports **Claude Code CLI** (Anthropic protocol), **Codex CLI** (OpenAI protocol), and **Claude Desktop (Cowork)**. The model list is fetched live from the gateway, so you always pick from models your key can actually reach — the menu is filtered per app by the gateway's own `supported_endpoint_types`.

Install

npm install -g @0xtrail/arcli

Requires Node.js 22 or newer. The package is scoped, but the command you type is just `arcli`.

Use

arcli

You will be asked for your API key once — grab one at https://agentrouter.org/console/token and paste it in. The key is verified against the gateway before anything is stored, so a typo fails fast with nothing written. Then a menu opens:

• Install to apps — pick an app, pick from your live model list, done. If the model list can't be reached (offline, gateway hiccup), you type the model name instead — setup never strands you.
• Restore originals — restores your original configs, byte for byte (checksum-verified backups, including deleting files that didn't exist before).
• View status — which apps are currently using AgentRouter.
• Log out — deletes the stored API key. Your apps keep pointing at AgentRouter until you choose Restore originals.

What setup writes

**Claude Code** (`~/.claude/settings.json`, `env` block) — bare origin on purpose, because the Anthropic SDK appends `/v1/messages` itself:
