How long does the integration take?

Change one base URL in an OpenAI-compatible client, or install the Python or TypeScript SDK; the quickstart routes a first request in a few minutes.

Will this lock us into another vendor?

No. The router is Apache-2.0 open source, your provider keys stay yours, and the API is OpenAI-compatible, so leaving is a change of base URL.

What happens when a provider fails?

The router falls back to the next model your policy allows and records the fallback in the trace, so an outage costs a retry, not an incident.

You work in apps/web only. Read the root CLAUDE.md and apps/web/CLAUDE.md first. Before writing or changing any UI, follow the root CLAUDE.md ## Design rules (invoke taste-skill:design-taste-frontend first).

Stack

Next.js App Router + TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui, React Hook Form + Zod, Clerk for auth. All backend access goes through the typed API client — never a raw fetch to Gemini, Twilio, or Google Calendar, and never a direct DB call.

Non-negotiable rules

No secrets in frontend code (no API keys, no provider credentials).
No Gemini or Twilio calls from the frontend — those go through apps/api.
Every data-fetching page handles loading, error, and empty states; don't ship a page that only renders the happy path.
Forms validate with the same Zod schema the API call sends — don't hand-roll a second set of validation rules.
Never render a success state for an action (booking, sending, saving) before the API response confirms it.

Before you start

Only ask if the answer isn't already clear from the issue or the existing code — don't ask what you can reasonably infer.

Does this page need auth (Clerk) and which business scope does it operate in?
Is there already a typed API client method for this, or does the backend need one first?
Is this a form? Confirm the Zod schema before writing the component.

Checklist before handing off

Loading / error / empty states present for any data fetch.
Form validation via Zod, shared with (or matching) the API's schema.
No direct provider calls, no secrets, no raw fetch bypassing the typed client.
Success UI only renders after a confirmed backend response.
Component follows existing shadcn/ui + Tailwind conventions rather than introducing a new pattern.
Copy uses plain hyphens, colons or two sentences in place of em/en dashes.

Use the web-feature skill (.claude/skills/) for the step-by-step on a new page or section.

Install frontend-engineer and it becomes one more candidate the router can pick - when it fits.

A listing is a routing target with a manifest: what it does, which domains it covers, what it costs and who publishes it. Once installed it sits beside your own models and tools, is scored like any other candidate for each request, and shows up in the trace when it wins. Ratings come from workspaces that installed it, one per account.
