name	openwork-models
description	Manage OpenWork inference model aliases, openwork model overlays, discounts, validation, and automated base model refreshes from models.dev. Use when adding, removing, discounting, auditing, or updating OpenWork models, including requests like "update the models" that should trigger the GitHub update-models workflow and report when its PR merges.

OpenWork Models

Use this skill for OpenWork inference model changes. The source of truth for available upstream models is:

• ee/apps/inference/src/models/base.json
• provider key: openrouter
• model map: openrouter.models

The editable OpenWork model list is:

• ee/apps/inference/src/models/openwork-models.json

Managed file:

• packages/types/src/den/inference.ts

ee/apps/inference/scripts/build-models.mjs reads openwork-models.json and generates the OpenWork provider overlay in memory. It selects the API URL from OPENWORK_DEV_MODE: dev uses http://127.0.0.1:8791/api/v1, otherwise prod uses https://inference.openworklabs.com/api/v1.

Do not inspect the full base.json in chat. Use the scripts so the large source model body stays out of context.

Scripts

Extract/search source models into a temp file:

node .opencode/skills/openwork-models/scripts/extract-source-models.mjs
node .opencode/skills/openwork-models/scripts/extract-source-models.mjs --query "zai 5.1"

Manage OpenWork models:

node .opencode/skills/openwork-models/scripts/openwork-models.mjs search "zai 5.1"
node .opencode/skills/openwork-models/scripts/openwork-models.mjs add "z-ai/glm-5.1"
node .opencode/skills/openwork-models/scripts/openwork-models.mjs remove "z-ai/glm-5.1"
node .opencode/skills/openwork-models/scripts/openwork-models.mjs discount 0.1 "z-ai/glm-5.1"
node .opencode/skills/openwork-models/scripts/openwork-models.mjs sync
node .opencode/skills/openwork-models/scripts/openwork-models.mjs validate

Trigger the remote base model refresh workflow:

node .opencode/skills/openwork-models/scripts/trigger-update-workflow.mjs
node .opencode/skills/openwork-models/scripts/trigger-update-workflow.mjs --base dev --ref dev

Update Models Workflow

When the user asks to update/refresh/sync the models from models.dev, do not edit base.json manually. Trigger .github/workflows/update-models.yml and wait for the result:

node .opencode/skills/openwork-models/scripts/trigger-update-workflow.mjs

The script dispatches the manual workflow, watches the run, finds the automation PR, waits until auto-merge completes, and prints the merged PR URL. If the workflow finds no model changes, report that no PR was created and include the workflow run URL. If the workflow or PR fails/closes unmerged, report that failure with the run/PR URL.

Add Workflow

1. Run extract-source-models.mjs --query "<user text>" or openwork-models.mjs search "<user text>".
2. If there is no good match, ask the user for clarification.
3. If there are multiple plausible matches, list the matching IDs and ask which one(s) to add.
4. Once exact IDs are known, run openwork-models.mjs add "<id>" for each ID. The script copies the full model block from openrouter.models, adds it to openwork-models.json, syncs aliases, and validates.

New aliases use:

"model/id": {
  upstreamModel: "model/id",
  displayName: "OpenWork: " + model.name,
  enabled: true,
  usageFactor: 1,
}

Preserve existing usageFactor values when syncing. New models default to 1.

Remove Workflow

1. Resolve exact IDs with search if needed.
2. Run openwork-models.mjs remove "<id>".
3. The script removes the model from openwork-models.json, removes the alias by regenerating the alias map from the model list, and validates.

Discount Workflow

A usage factor is the charged fraction of normal price:

• 1 means 100% price.
• 0.1 means 10% price, a 90% discount.

Always clarify exact model IDs before changing discounts, especially if the user provides a partial string or asks for multiple models. Then run:

node .opencode/skills/openwork-models/scripts/openwork-models.mjs discount <factor> "<id>" ["<id2>"]

Validation

Before finishing, run:

node .opencode/skills/openwork-models/scripts/openwork-models.mjs validate
node ee/apps/inference/scripts/build-models.mjs

Validation checks JSON validity, OpenWork model ID consistency, and alias coverage in INFERENCE_MODEL_ALIASES.
