Why it's useful

Lets you keep the Claude Code workflow but send the easy jobs to a free local model or a cheaper provider and save the big model for the hard bits.

What it needs

Node.js, plus your own keys for any paid model providers or a local model. Install the official @musistudio/claude-code-router package; lookalike packages have carried malware.
