* fix(ci): clear base-reds on release/v3.8.50 (round 3) - CHANGELOG.md: restore the top [Unreleased] section dropped by the #10189 reconcile (docs-sync gate: first section must be Unreleased) - env-doc-sync: document CONDUCTOR_ORCHESTRATOR_TOKEN + CONDUCTOR_SPOKESPERSON_URL in .env.example/ENVIRONMENT.md; allowlist the CI-only GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY and TS7_BASE_REF (ts7 ratchet signals); drop a stray merge artifact line - providers: restore the audited chatanywhere metadata entry that base-reds round 2 dropped together with its duplicate — the provider was half-wired (registry+endpoint without APIKEY metadata), which is what the wave3 test catches; re-pin providers-constants-split at the measured 228 - docs counts: 338 -> 339 (today's +2 void-ai/helixmind, -1 Puter) via gen:provider-reference + README/AGENTS/llm.txt/package.json/diagrams/i18n mirrors - file-size ratchet: annotated rebaseline for the two pre-existing drifts (ModelSelectModal 1138, gateways 1250) following the 2026-08-11 precedent Refs #9985 * fix(ci): base-reds round 3b — stale sibling tests + mode-pack weight contract - check-docs-counts-sync.test.ts: drop the imports/subtests of the four helpers #10196 removed from the gate script (readMcpFactsFromSource, listLocalizedDocs, makeRequiredCountsValidator, checkFreeTierInventory) — the new-API tests that #10196 added stay; the file now loads again under the node runner - quota-connection-recovery.test.ts: convert from vitest APIs to node:test — the file lives in tests/unit/*.test.ts (node-runner glob) and the vitest runtime crashes when imported outside vitest, killing the whole shard entry - modePacks.ts: re-normalize all six mode packs to sum 1.0 — #8940 added sessionAvailability: 0.05 to every pack without rebalancing (1.05 total); ratios preserved exactly (÷1.05), so post-normalizeScoringWeights behavior is unchanged; restores the declared sum-to-1.0 contract the 4235 test pins Refs #9985 * fix(ci): base-reds round 3c — vitest siblings, weights default, secrets FP, mutation tap - DistributeProxiesButton.test.tsx: wrap renders in NextIntlClientProvider — #9245 localized the component (useTranslations) and left the test without the intl context, failing all 14 cases - scoring.ts: re-normalize DEFAULT_WEIGHTS to sum 1.0 (same #8940 class as the mode packs — sessionAvailability added without rebalancing; ratios preserved) - .gitleaks.toml: generalize the kimi sponsor-banner localStorage-key allowlist to -v\d+ — #10200 bumped v1→v2 and the stale regex regressed the secrets ratchet with a false positive - stryker.conf.json: register 6 covering unit tests in tap.testFiles (4 modules) so their mutant kills count — unblocks check:mutation-test-coverage --strict Refs #9985 * fix(ci): base-reds round 3d — inspector factor gap, stale registry/gap tests, i18n key sync - comboScoringInspector: add cacheAffinity/sessionAvailability/connectionDensity to FACTOR_KEYS + the factor-key type — calculateScore() weighs them but the breakdown omitted them, so the explained contributions never summed to the reported score (inspector bug, red on the pure tip) - combo-scoring-inspector.test: make the explicit-weights override sum-neutral (±0.05 shift) so it stays valid for any DEFAULT_WEIGHTS values — the hardcoded override only summed to 1.0 against the pre-#8940 defaults, which is also why explicit weights silently fell back to 'default' on the tip - unorouter-registry.test: align to the canonical .com host (api.unorouter.ai 301-redirects there, verified live) and to wave4's live model discovery (passthrough, no static seed) — the .ai/auto-model expectations were stale - check-migration-numbering.test: 147 left KNOWN_GAPS when 147_api_keys_model_access_mode.sql landed — assert absent (same as 143) - i18n: sync-ui pass — 35,914 missing UI keys stamped as __MISSING__ placeholders across 42 locales (mechanical; greens the pt-BR key-presence integrity test; coverage pct unchanged by design — translation is a separate workstream) Refs #9985 * fix(ci): base-reds round 3e — 2 real defects + 14 stale sibling tests (waves A-E) Real defects fixed: - src/lib/db/apiKeys.ts: #9313's empty-allowlist early return bypassed the group permission check, silently disabling group deny rules (#8817) for every key without a per-key allowlist; fall-through restored, restricted+[] deny-all kept - open-sse/utils/proxyFetch.ts: #10032 re-appended the raw transport error to the propagated message, reintroducing the proxy user:password leak #9837 closed; new redactProxyDetailsInMessage() keeps the reason, redacts URL/credentials - .github/workflows/quality.yml: #10134 added the TS7 ratchet as a separate blocking step AFTER the aggregated gates — the exact #8542 masking mechanism; folded into the non-fail-fast loop (still blocking, still PR-only) ⚠️ CI edit, gate-strengthening — explicit owner sign-off requested on the PR - src/i18n/messages/ko.json: 3 machine-mistranslation regressions caught by the #8244 glossary checker (장애인→비활성화됨, 양말5://→socks5://, 비클로드→Claude가 아닌) Stale sibling tests aligned to deliberately-moved contracts (each cites its mover): request-log-detail-layout + -stream (#9245 intl provider), repro-8542 pin update, quality-rail-gate-membership (#10134 shape), agentSkills-routes 45→46 (#9058), cloudflare-ai-catalog-8717 (#8804 supersedes #8808), executor-xai (#9994), vision-bridge-claude-wire (#9463 minimax→openai), sse-auth forced-pin (#8893), tls-proxy-context (strengthened leak guards), rate-limit-local-error-classification (#9164/#9342), minimax-thinking-signature (#9463), codebuddy-cn (#9723 +1 test), github-copilot-custom-model (#9050), providers-g4f-batch3 (#9584), synced-capability-warmup (#9199, stricter), sidebar-tools-group (#8221), oauth-modal-grok-cli-paste (#9245); agentSkills/catalog.ts comment 45→46; file-size rebaseline for proxyFetch (+19, annotated) Refs #9985 * fix(ci): base-reds round 3f — waves F-J: 9 more real defects + stale sibling sweep Real production defects fixed (all red on the pure tip, each with its origin): - routeGuard.ts: #8949 accidentally DELETED the /api/providers/[id]/login local-only pattern — the route spawns a browser, so the loopback gate for a process-spawning route was gone (Hard Rules #15/#17); restored (314 guard tests green) - agentSkills generator: #9058's category dispatch gave the config category an empty body, wiping skills/config-codex-cli/SKILL.md at the #10131 sync; fixed + SKILL.md regenerated via the official generator - imageRegistry: #9982 broke same-provider bare aliasing (antigravity preview id sent upstream unresolved); new resolveSameProviderBareAlias() keeps the fal cross-provider fix intact - imageRegistry: #9982's prefix strip handed the bare nano-banana ids to fal-ai, violating the pinned 2026-07-31 operator decision (adobe-firefly owns them); fal entries made prefix-only (dispatch already re-prefixes) - mediaGeneration/fal.ts: the missing-credential 401 guard was lost when #10198 deleted the superseded falHandler — tests were hitting the live network - bottleneckPatch/rateLimitManager: #9041's merge clobbered #9604, resurrecting the Bottleneck v2.19.5 heartbeat bug (reservoir never refills); patched the library defect at the root and re-aligned chat-rate-limit-body-lock to the working reservoir contract - processSupervisor.mjs: #9761 regressed the Node spawn to bare "node" (the #9156 launchd bug) and dropped #9209's ipv4first args; both restored - openai-responses/pureHelpers: #9423's Agent null-sentinel was unreachable on the schemaless JSON-string path; gate extended - i18n en.json: #8222's regen reverted the #9976 unclosed-tag fix and #8559's combo-cooldown copy; #9038 shipped 40 t() calls with no messages (runtime MISSING_MESSAGE); all restored/added + official sync-ui stamps, and vi's zero-marker policy re-established via the sanctioned translation backend Stale sibling tests aligned (movers cited inline): chat-helpers (#9447), executor-antigravity (#9351), video-fal-grok (#9982), visionBridge (#9759), web-session-credentials (#8974), production-build-module-integrity (positive anchor added), agentSkills-generator/skillManifestsLint/skills-injection/ agentSkillTools-mcp/listCapabilities-a2a (#9058), memory-settings (#10010), model-catalog-policy-invalidation (#8906), model-alias-seed (#9485), reactive-context-compaction (#8949), combo-provider-wildcard (broken upsert helper), oauth-google-loopback (43-locale resurrected-key removal) Validation: 501/501 across the 47 touched test files; typecheck:core, lint, file-size, docs-sync all green. Refs #9985 * fix(ci): base-reds round 3g — wave K/L: 4 more real defects + stale alignments Real defects: - base/reasoningEffort.ts: the stale duplicate cherry-pick #9612 re-added the codex minimal→low rewrite that #9883 had deliberately removed (OMP minimal passthrough); block removed again - cursorImages.ts: #9840 wired prepareCursorImageForWire (sharp re-encode, fail-closed) into the SHARED resolveCursorImages, breaking zai-web and conol-web image uploads (HTTP 400 'undecodable'); new prepareForWire opt-out, Cursor default path unchanged (8 cursor suites green) - modelCapabilities/snapshot: catalog prepare still issued 323 per-model reads of model_context_overrides + max_input_tokens overrides, violating #9199's bulk-load contract; both now resolve from the snapshot single pass - v1-models-discovery-conformance: re-pinned to the bounded 30s SWR window (#9199/#10198) — the old 'stale-first regardless of age' contract is gone Stale tests aligned (movers cited inline): codex-tools-strict-default (#9828 redundant-oneOf strip), devin-providers (#9245 i18n), db-migrationrunner- constants-split (147→151 renumber #8228), gitlab-duo-oauth-setup (#9245), chatcore-extracted-modules (#9161 outbound-protocol keying) compression-api CI failures were cascade artifacts of codex-tools-strict-default failing in the same force-exit shard process — no own defect (171/171 local). Refs #9985 * fix(test): compression-api — register both describes before the runner starts The DATA_DIR setup + route/db top-level awaits sat BETWEEN the two describes; under --test-force-exit (the CI unit-runner flag) the process exits once the already-registered tests finish, so on slow CI machines the whole second describe died as 'Promise resolution is still pending' — the recurring CI-only shard-2 failure that never reproduced locally without the flag. Moved to the top of the file; 10/10 under --test-force-exit locally. Refs #9985 * fix(quality): freeze modelCapabilities.ts at 1006 (annotated) — snapshot routing growth Refs #9985 * fix(quality): move the modelCapabilities freeze into the frozen map (nested schema) Refs #9985 * fix(i18n): translate all 39,718 pending UI keys across 42 locales (owner-approved) Mass-translated every __MISSING__ placeholder via the official i18n:sync-ui --translate-markers pipeline (operator backend), restoring i18nUiCoverage to the 100 baseline (was 89.9 after the merge-storm UI landings + the 42 keys #9038 never shipped). Post-pass repairs, all caught by the existing gates: - glossary: retired renderings the machine reintroduced normalized again (提供商→提供者 zh-CN/zh-TW, 鏈接→連結, 文檔→文件, 調用→呼叫, 供應商→提供者, 響應→回應, 不活躍→未啟用 zh-TW; 클로드→Claude, 옴니루트→OmniRoute ko); DATA_DIR forbidden rendering avoided via 数据文件夹 rephrase - ICU integrity: 120 values with renamed/dropped {params} repaired (39 positional renames, 81 reset to the en source — functional over fluent) Validation: glossary/pt-BR/vi/deno-relay/settings-keys/value-drift/google- loopback suites 76/76; placeholder diff en×42 locales = 0; worst-locale coverage = 100.0%.

🚀 OmniRoute — The Free AI Gateway
💰 ~1.51B Free Tokens / Month
Stacking free tiers by hand is painful — dozens of SDKs, dozens of rate limits, and no idea how much you actually have. OmniRoute aggregates the documented free tiers of 42 provider pools / 495 models into one honest number and shows it live on the dashboard (
/dashboard/free-tiers).
Animated summary of the live
/dashboard/free-tierspage. Full methodology (pool dedupe, credit tiers, provider terms): docs/reference/FREE_TIERS.md.These figures are re-audited every two weeks against the live catalog and move both ways — a provider ends a free tier and the number drops; a new one lands and it climbs. We publish what the catalog actually computes, never a rounded-up best case.
⭐ Star the repo if OMNIROUTE helped you save money and make your work easier.

🎯 Combos — The Flagship
A combo is a chain of models OmniRoute routes across automatically. Quota runs out, a provider fails, or costs spike — the combo silently slides to the next model. This is what makes OmniRoute unbreakable. 🛡️
⚡ Zero-config — just use auto
No combo to create. Set your model to auto (or a variant) and OmniRoute builds a virtual combo from your connected providers, scored live:
| Model ID | What it optimizes for |
|---|---|
auto | 🎯 Balanced default (LKGP — sticks to your last good provider) |
auto/coding | 🧑💻 Quality-first weights for code generation |
auto/fast | ⚡ Lowest latency first |
auto/cheap | 💰 Cheapest per token first |
auto/offline | 🔋 Most quota / rate-limit headroom first |
auto/smart | 🔭 Quality-first + 10% exploration to discover better models |
🔀 Or build your own — 19 routing strategies
All 19 strategies — mix & match per combo step:
| # | Strategy | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | priority |
First-target ordered list — drain each before the next 🥇 |
| 2 | fill-first |
Fill each target's quota fully before moving on |
| 3 | weighted |
Weighted random by per-target weight |
| 4 | round-robin |
Cycle through targets in order |
| 5 | p2c |
Power-of-two-choices random load balancing |
| 6 | least-used |
Pick the target with the lowest current load |
| 7 | random |
Uniform random pick (deduplicated) |
| 8 | strict-random |
Random without de-duplicating repeats 🎲 |
| 9 | cost-optimized |
Minimize $ per request from live catalog pricing 💸 |
| 10 | headroom |
Pick the target with the most remaining quota |
| 11 | reset-window |
Prefer the target whose quota window resets soonest |
| 12 | reset-aware |
Rank by quota reset time — short windows first 📊 |
| 13 | context-relay |
Hand off context across targets for long conversations 🧠 |
| 14 | context-optimized |
Pick the best fit for the current context size |
| 15 | cache-optimized |
Pin each reusable prompt prefix to the same account — maximize prompt-cache hits 🎯 |
| 16 | lkgp |
Last-Known-Good Path — sticky to the last successful target |
| 17 | auto |
14-factor live scoring across every connection 🤖 |
| 18 | fusion |
Fan out to a panel of models + a judge synthesizes one answer 🧬 |
| 19 | pipeline |
Chain steps — each target's output feeds the next one 🔗 |
The Auto-Combo engine scores every candidate on 14 factors (health, quota, cost, latency, success rate, freshness…) — see docs/routing/AUTO-COMBO.md.

🔌 Full CLI + A2A & MCP
Beyond the server, OmniRoute is a full command-line cockpit with 80+ commands, plus open agent protocols so an AI agent can drive it on its own.
⌨️ A real CLI (not just start)
omniroute # serve gateway + dashboard (port 20128)
omniroute chat # interactive TUI chat client (slash: /model /combo /skill /memory)
omniroute setup # guided first-run wizard
omniroute doctor # diagnose providers, ports, native deps
🛰️ Remote mode — run the CLI here, OmniRoute on a VPS
OmniRoute on a server? Drive it from your laptop with the same CLI. Log in once with a scoped access token; every command then targets the remote.
omniroute connect 192.168.0.15 # password → scoped token, saved as a context
omniroute models list # ← runs against the REMOTE server
omniroute configure codex # ← picks a remote model, writes a local Codex profile
omniroute tokens create --name ci --scope read # mint narrower tokens for other machines
omniroute contexts use default # ← switch back to the local server
Tokens are scoped read / write / admin; process-spawning routes stay loopback-only.
📖 Remote Mode
🤝 Connect an agent — and it controls OmniRoute itself
Expose OmniRoute over MCP, A2A, a REST API, webhooks or a remote CLI — any capable agent (or your own code) gets the keys to the whole gateway: routing, providers, combos, cache, compression, memory — autonomously. HTTP endpoints below are served under http://localhost:20128.
| Interface | Endpoint / command | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| 🧰 MCP (stdio) | omniroute --mcp | Plug into Claude Desktop, Cursor, any MCP client |
| 🌊 MCP (HTTP) | /api/mcp/stream | Remote MCP — 105 tools, 31 scopes, full audit trail |
| 📡 MCP (SSE) | /api/mcp/sse | Streaming MCP transport |
| 🤝 A2A | /.well-known/agent.json | Agent-to-agent, JSON-RPC 2.0 + SSE, 6 skills |
| 🌐 REST API | /v1/* | OpenAI-compatible — chat, embeddings, images, audio, OCR |
| 🔔 Webhooks | /api/webhooks | Push events (usage, quota, errors, routing) to your URL |
| 🛰️ Remote CLI | omniroute connect | Drive a remote instance with scoped access tokens |
# Give Claude Code the full OmniRoute toolset over MCP:
claude mcp add-server omniroute --type http --url http://localhost:20128/api/mcp/stream

🗜️ Save 15–95% Tokens — Automatically
📖 How it works — pipeline, architecture & savings math
Default stacked combo runs RTK → Caveman. When both act on the same tool/context payload, savings compound:
combined = 1 − (1 − RTK) × (1 − Caveman_input)
average = 1 − (1 − 0.80) × (1 − 0.46) = 89.2%
range = 78.4 – 94.6%
Code blocks, URLs, JSON and structured data are always protected by the preservation engine.
Why use many tokens when few tokens do the trick? Every request passes through OmniRoute's compression pipeline transparently — no client changes. It's now a stack of 12 composable engines that run in order and mix & match per routing combo — building on ideas from RTK, Caveman (⭐ 90K+), LLMLingua-2, and Troglodita (PT-BR).
🧱 The 12-engine stack
Engines run in pipeline order; each is independently toggleable and configurable per combo:
| # | Engine | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Session-Dedup | Drops content repeated across turns (content-addressed, cross-turn) |
| 2 | CCR | Archives large blocks behind retrieve markers, fetched on demand |
| 3 | Lite | Whitespace + image-URL trimming (latency-light baseline) |
| 4 | RTK | Smart tool-result filtering, dedup & truncation (command-aware) |
| 5 | Responses Tool Output | Lossless-first JSON + bounded diagnostic compression for shell/patch/search/build outputs (Responses API) |
| 6 | Headroom | Lossless tabular compaction of JSON arrays (~30%) via a vendored GCF codec |
| 7 | Relevance | Extractive sentence scoring against the last user query |
| 8 | Caveman | Rule-based prose compression (~65–75% on output) |
| 9 | Aggressive | Summarization + progressive aging of old turns |
| 10 | LLMLingua-2 | ML semantic pruning via MobileBERT ONNX — code-safe, async |
| 11 | Ultra | Heuristic token pruning with an optional small-model (SLM) tier |
| 12 | OmniGlyph | Experimental context-as-image encoding routed to Claude Fable 5 (most aggressive; opt-in) |
Code blocks, URLs and structured data are always preserved byte-perfect. One-click presets combine the engines:
| Mode | Savings | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 🪶 Lite | ~15% | Always-on safe default |
| 🪨 Standard (Caveman) | ~30% | Daily coding |
| ⚡ Aggressive | ~50% | Long tool-heavy sessions |
| 🔥 Ultra | ~75% | Maximum savings |
| 🧰 RTK | 60–90% | Shell/test/build/git output |
| 🔗 Stacked (RTK → Caveman) | 78–95% | Mixed prompts + tool logs |
Real example — Standard mode:
Before (69 tokens): "The reason your React component is re-rendering is likely because you're creating a new object reference on each render cycle. When you pass an inline object as a prop, React's shallow comparison sees it as a different object every time, which triggers a re-render. I would recommend using useMemo to memoize the object."
After (19 tokens): "New object ref each render. Inline object prop = new ref = re-render. Wrap in useMemo."
Same answer. 72% fewer tokens. Zero accuracy loss. ✅
PT-BR example — Troglodita mode:
Antes (42 tokens): "O problema é que o componente está re-renderizando porque uma nova referência de objeto está sendo criada em cada ciclo de renderização. Eu recomendaria usar useMemo."
Depois (12 tokens): "Re-render: ref nova cada ciclo (objeto inline recriado). Usar
useMemo."Mesma resposta. ~70% menos tokens. Precisão técnica intacta. ✅
🎚️ Beyond the engines — output styles, the adaptive dial & per-request control
The 12 engines above shrink what goes in. Three more layers shape how, when, and what comes out:
- 🪄 Output Styles (output-axis steering) — inject deterministic, cache-safe response-shaping instructions; combinable, each at
lite/full/ultraintensity. Adding a style is a one-line registry entry:- Terse prose — drop filler / articles / hedging; keep technical substance exact.
- Less code — "lazy senior dev" YAGNI: smallest working change, no unrequested scaffolding.
- Terse CJK (文言) — classical-Chinese ultra-terse style (locale-gated to
zh).
- 🎯 Adaptive context-budget (the dial) — instead of one on/off token threshold, escalate the cheapest, most-lossless engines only as far as needed to fit the model's context window. Policy:
reserve-output(default, model-aware) ·percentage·absolute. Mode:floor(guarantee fit) ·replace-autotrigger(your explicit choice wins) ·off(legacy threshold). - 🎛️ Where compression is decided (precedence, high → low) — per-request
x-omniroute-compressionheader › routing-combo override › active named profile › adaptive / auto-trigger › panel default › off. The applied plan echoes back in theX-OmniRoute-Compression: <mode>; source=<source>response header.
Auto-trigger by token threshold, flip on the adaptive dial, pin a named profile, set a one-off per request, or assign a pipeline per routing combo — whichever fits the workload. An opt-in offline eval harness (npm run eval:compression) scores fidelity vs. savings on a pinned corpus before you promote a change.

⚡ Quick Start
1) Install & run
npm install -g omniroute
omniroute
💡 See
npm warn ERESOLVEor peer-dep warnings? They're harmless.
Dashboard at http://localhost:20128 · API at http://localhost:20128/v1.
2) Connect a FREE provider (no signup)
Dashboard → Providers → connect Kiro AI (free Claude, ~50 credits/month per account) or OpenCode Free (no auth) → done.
3) Point your coding tool
Base URL: http://localhost:20128/v1
API Key: [copy from Dashboard → Endpoints]
Model: auto (zero-config smart routing — or any provider/model)
4) Verify it's working
curl http://localhost:20128/v1/models -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
You should see your connected models listed. 🎉 That's it — start coding, and OmniRoute auto-routes & falls back for you.
If your client cannot send custom headers, OmniRoute also exposes tokenized compatibility aliases:
OpenAI catalog: http://localhost:20128/vscode/YOUR_KEY/
OpenAI models: http://localhost:20128/vscode/YOUR_KEY/models
OpenAI chat: http://localhost:20128/vscode/YOUR_KEY/chat/completions
OpenAI responses: http://localhost:20128/vscode/YOUR_KEY/responses
Ollama chat: http://localhost:20128/vscode/YOUR_KEY/api/chat
Ollama tags: http://localhost:20128/vscode/YOUR_KEY/api/tags
Use these only for clients that cannot attach Authorization: Bearer .... Header auth remains the preferred mode.

📖 Docker Guide — Compose profiles, Caddy HTTPS, Cloudflare tunnels.
🦭 Podman
# 1. Prepare the bind-mounted data directory
mkdir -p data
# 2. Linux + local rootless Podman only (never a remote Podman Machine client):
podman unshare chown 1000:1000 ./data
# 3. Set the runtime hint, build the local Compose image, and start
echo "CONTAINER_HOST=podman" >> .env
podman compose --profile base up -d --build
On macOS or Windows, Podman uses a remote Podman Machine: skip podman unshare and
follow the topology-specific data directory guidance.
📖 Podman Guide — Compose builds, Podman Machine, and Linux/systemd Quadlet setup.
⚡ Faster / leaner install (skip the native build)
The native SQLite engine (better-sqlite3) is an optional dependency, so a global
install never blocks on compiling from source: it uses a prebuilt binary when one matches
your platform/Node, and otherwise falls back transparently to a pure-JS engine
(node:sqlite on Node 22+, else the bundled sql.js WASM) — no build tools required.
To skip the post-install native warm-up entirely (CI, headless, or slow machines):
OMNIROUTE_SKIP_POSTINSTALL=1 npm install -g omniroute # CI=1 also skips it
For the fastest installs prefer pnpm (content-addressed store + hard links — see above).
For a dashboard-free, headless runtime use the Docker base profile (above) or the
Termux guide. The CLI and the web dashboard are served by the
same process on one port, so there is no separate CLI-only package today.

📊 Stars
🌍 StarMapper
🙏 Acknowledgments
OmniRoute stands on the shoulders of giants. It started as a fork of 9router and a TypeScript port of the Go project CLIProxyAPI — and from there, every subsystem below was inspired by an open-source project that got there first. Each one shaped a concrete piece of OmniRoute. This is our thank-you to all of them. 🙏
⭐ star counts as of July 2026 — go give these projects a star.

| ponytail | 86.0k | The viral "lazy senior dev" YAGNI-coder skill — inspired our less-code Output Style: smallest-working-change steering that cuts _generated_ code (the output-axis sibling to Caveman's terse prose). |
🧩 Compact formats, token research & code-aware tooling
| Project | ⭐ | How it inspired OmniRoute |
|---|---|---|
| TOON | 24.9k | Token-Oriented Object Notation — its columnar, header-plus-rows model shaped our tabular compaction stage. |

| token-optimizer | 1.7k | "Find the ghost tokens" — its offload + recoverable-handle pattern informed our CCR offload thinking. |
| TokenMizer | 16 | A session-graph + cross-turn line-dedup blueprint that informed our session-dedup design. |
| OmniCompress | 3 | Rust columnar-JSON + content-addressed retrieve + cross-message dedup — validated our headroom/ccr/session-dedup engine design and the cache-stable "compressed form is position-independent" invariant. |
| mcp-compressor | 98 | MCP tool-schema/description compression — informed our MCP tool-manifest cardinality reduction. |
| RepoMapper | 187 | Aider-style repo-map ranking — informed our repo-map / retrieval-ranking exploration. |
| quiet-shell-mcp | 4 | Declarative shell-output reduction over MCP — validated our declarative bash-output compaction. |

|---|---|---|
| Mem0 | 61.2k | Universal memory layer — its proxy-as-write/read-boundary model shaped our memory architecture. |
| Letta (MemGPT) | 23.9k | Stateful agents with tiered memory — inspired our Context Control & Recovery (CCR) tiered model. |
| WFGY | 1.8k | The ProblemMap taxonomy of 16 recurring RAG/LLM failure modes — the shared vocabulary in our troubleshooting guide. |
🛰️ Traffic inspection, MITM & transparent proxy
| Project | ⭐ | How it inspired OmniRoute |
|---|---|---|
| llm-interceptor | 49 | MITM interception/analysis of coding-assistant ↔ LLM traffic — our Traffic Inspector ports its SSE merge, conversation normalization, host passthrough and secret masking (MIT). |
| ProxyBridge | 5.5k | Transparent per-process proxy routing — inspired our crash-safe MITM teardown, socket idle-timeouts, /proc process attribution and TPROXY capture. |
📚 Model data, observability & UI
| Project | ⭐ | How it inspired OmniRoute |
|---|---|---|
| models.dev | 6.0k | Open database of AI model specs, pricing and capabilities — synced natively into our model catalog. |
| React Flow / xyflow | 37.7k | The node-based graph library powering our real-time Compression Studio and Combo/Routing Studio. |
| LangGraph | 37.6k | LangGraph Studio's live workflow-graph visualization inspired our Studios' real-time cascade view. |
| Langfuse | 31.4k | Its trace → span → generation observability model shaped our Compression Studio waterfall. |

| lobe-icons | 2.2k | AI/LLM brand logos that render the provider icons across our dashboard. |
🛡️ Security
| Project | ⭐ | How it inspired OmniRoute |
|---|---|---|
| awesome-secure-defaults | 710 | A curated list of secure-by-default libraries that guides our security choices (Helmet.js, DOMPurify, ssrf-req-filter, safe-regex, Google Tink). |
