Vercel AI Gateway Setup Skill

Description

This skill sets up Claude Code to route requests through Vercel AI Gateway for monitoring and observability. It supports two modes: API Key mode (using a Vercel AI Gateway API key) and Claude Max mode (using an existing Claude Code Max subscription through the gateway).

Instructions

When the user invokes this skill, guide them through the Vercel AI Gateway setup interactively. Never ask for or handle API keys directly. The user must enter their own keys. Never read the user's shell config file (~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.profile, etc.) during setup — it may already contain secrets. Only append to it.

Step 1: Check prerequisites

Run the following to confirm Claude Code CLI is installed:

command -v claude

If not found, tell the user to install it with npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code.
