+# @profullstack/sh1pt-agent-provider-openrouter
+
+**OpenRouter agent provider for [sh1pt](https://sh1pt.com).**
+
+🌐 Homepage: **https://sh1pt.com**
+📦 Source: **https://github.com/profullstack/sh1pt**
+
+Routes LLM requests through [OpenRouter](https://openrouter.ai), giving your sh1pt agents access to hundreds of models — GPT-4o, Claude, Llama, DeepSeek, Gemini, and more — through a single unified API.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+pnpm add @profullstack/sh1pt-agent-provider-openrouter
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Set the following environment variables:
+
+| Variable | Required | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` | ✅ | Your OpenRouter API key (get one at https://openrouter.ai/keys) |
+| `OPENROUTER_BASE_URL` | ❌ | Override the default API base URL (default: `https://openrouter.ai/api/v1`) |
+| `OPENROUTER_MODEL` | ❌ | Default model to use (default: `openai/gpt-4o-mini`) |
+| `OPENROUTER_HTTP_REFERER` | ❌ | Optional `HTTP-Referer` header for OpenRouter rankings |
+| `OPENROUTER_X_TITLE` | ❌ | Optional `X-Title` header for OpenRouter rankings |
+
+## Usage
+
+```ts
+import { openrouterProvider } from '@profullstack/sh1pt-agent-provider-openrouter';
+
+// Validate environment
+openrouterProvider.validateEnv(process.env);
+
+// Chat completion
+const response = await openrouterProvider.chat({
+  messages: [
+    { role: 'system', content: 'You are a helpful assistant.' },
+    { role: 'user', content: 'Hello!' },
+  ],
+});
+
+console.log(response.content);
+```
+
+### With sh1pt agent framework
+
+```ts
+// In your sh1pt.config.ts
+import { openrouterProvider } from '@profullstack/sh1pt-agent-provider-openrouter';
+
+export default {
+  agents: {
+    openrouter: openrouterProvider,
+  },
+};
+```
+
+## Capabilities
+
+| Capability | Supported |
+|---|---|
+| Chat | ✅ |
+| Streaming | ❌ |
+| Tool use | ❌ |
+| List models | ❌ (not yet implemented) |
+
+## Error handling
+
+- **`AgentProviderConfigError`** — thrown when `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` is missing
+- **`Error`** — thrown when the OpenRouter API returns a non-OK status or an empty response
