Quick Start

Install cloding

macOS / Linux:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/claudlos/cloding/master/install.sh | bash

Windows (PowerShell):

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/claudlos/cloding/master/install.ps1 | iex

Or via npm: npm install -g cloding

Set up tools

Install all CLI tools in one command:

cloding setup

Set your API key

export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-v1-your-key-here

Start coding

cloding

That's it. You're now running Claude Code with Qwen 3 Coder at $0.12/Mtok instead of $5/Mtok.

Choose a model

cloding                    # Qwen 3 Coder (default)
cloding -m haiku           # Claude Haiku 4.5
cloding -m sonnet          # Claude Sonnet 4
cloding -m opus            # Claude Opus 4.6
cloding -m deepseek        # DeepSeek Coder V3
cloding -m gemini          # Gemini 2.5 Pro

Run a single prompt

Don't need an interactive session? Pass -p:

cloding -p "add dark mode to the settings page"

Use any OpenRouter model

Not limited to the built-in shortcuts — pass any OpenRouter model ID:

cloding -m meta-llama/llama-4-scout

Pass Claude Code flags

All Claude Code flags work as-is:

cloding --allowedTools Read,Write,Bash
