What this skill does
OpenRouter Production Checklist Overview A comprehensive production readiness checklist for OpenRouter integrations covering security, reliability, observability, cost management, and operational procedures. Each item includes the specific API endpoint or configuration needed to verify compliance. Prerequisites An OpenRouter API key (sk-or-v1-...) exported as OPENROUTERAPIKEY — see the openrouter-install-auth skill for setup A working OpenRouter integration ready to launch — this skill validates an existing integration, it doesn't build one curl and jq for the pre-launch validation script and the auth/credit-limit checks Python 3.8+ if you turn the checklist dicts (SECURITY, RELIABILITY, OBSERVABILITY) into automated CI checks A secret scanner in CI (gitleaks or trufflehog) — the security checklist verifies its presence Instructions 1. Work through the Security Checklist: keys in a secrets manager, 90-day rotation, per-key credit limits (GET /api/v1/auth/key → .data.limit), secret scanning in CI, HTTPS-only endpoints. 2. Verify the Reliability Checklist: a fallback chain (models array + route: "fallback"), SDK maxretries=3 with built-in backoff, timeout=30.0, a circuit breaker on the primary model, and maxtokens on every request. 3. Confirm the Observability Checklist: structured logs carrying generationid/model/latency/tokens/cost, error-rate alerts (>5% over 5 min), P50/P95 latency per model, daily cost tracking via GET /api/v1/generation?id=, and credit-balance alerts. 4. Run the Pre-Launch Validation Script — it exercises auth, credit limit, primary-model availability, a live test request, and a hardcoded-key scan. 5. Fix every FAIL and re-run until the script prints READY FOR PRODUCTION, then wire it into CI as a pre-deploy gate per Enterprise Considerations. …
