Chutes Routing for Hermes

Status: VERIFIED LIVE 2026-04-13. This is the Hermes entry point for the full skill at plugins/chutes-ai/skills/chutes-routing/. Scripts and references stay single-sourced in the plugin tree.

When to use this skill

Use when a Hermes user wants to:

• Pick the best Chutes model pool for an intent such as interactive-fast, agent-coder, private-reasoning, or tee-chat.
• Generate inline routing strings using :latency or :throughput.
• Create or audit stable Chutes aliases backed by chute_ids.
• Re-check a routing pool against live /v1/models so stale static model choices do not rot.

Hermes-facing workflow

Run from the repo root:

python plugins/chutes-ai/skills/chutes-routing/scripts/build_pool.py \
  --intent interactive-fast --size 4 --dry-run

python plugins/chutes-ai/skills/chutes-routing/scripts/audit_pool.py \
  --routing-string "modelA,modelB,modelC:latency"

For a named alias, require the user to choose the alias string explicitly:

python plugins/chutes-ai/skills/chutes-routing/scripts/build_pool.py \
  --intent private-reasoning --size 4 --tee-only --alias tee-chat

Safety rules

• Always use https://llm.chutes.ai/v1/models as the live source of truth.
• Do not create or delete aliases without explicit user intent; aliases mutate routing policy.
• Cost filters are advisory, not hard caps. For spend controls, load chutes-usage-and-billing.
