**Agentic Engineering Amplified**

Cloding is a universal wrapper that lets you run **Claude Code**, **Gemini CLI**, **Codex CLI**, **OpenCode**, or **GitHub Copilot CLI** — use OpenRouter, Direct API keys, or link to your paid plan.

Claude Code is a powerful agentic coding tool — it edits files, runs terminal commands, and manages your entire development workflow. But it costs **$5/Mtok input** and **$25/Mtok output**.

**cloding** lets you run the exact same Claude Code experience with any model on [OpenRouter](https://openrouter.ai). Same tools, same file editing, same terminal access — just swap the model underneath.

**One-line install** — Standalone binary, no Node.js required. `curl | bash` on Mac/Linux, `irm | iex` on Windows. Run `cloding setup` to install all 5 CLI tools automatically.

**Model flexibility** — Use any OpenRouter model by ID or pick from built-in shortcuts. Mix models based on the task: Opus for planning, Qwen for execution.

**Universal CLI wrapper** — Not just Claude Code. Run Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, or OpenCode — all through one interface with consistent flags and Docker support.

**Flexible auth** — Use OpenRouter for any model, direct API keys (Anthropic, Google, OpenAI), or link to your paid plan (Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, Copilot). Mix and match per session.

**Docker sandboxing** — Claude Code has full access to your machine by default. cloding's Docker mode isolates the agent in a container with access to only the workspace you mount.

**Pipeline mode** — Multi-stage coding pipelines with parallel fan-out. Assign different models to different stages: Plan → Explore → Code → Review.

-
1.Starts Claude Code with the `--provider openrouter` flag

2.Routes all API calls through your OpenRouter API key

3.Uses whatever model you specify (defaults to Qwen 3 Coder)

1.Resolves your model shortcut to a provider + model ID

2.Sets the right environment variables for the chosen CLI tool

3.Spawns the CLI (Claude Code, Gemini, Codex, Copilot, or OpenCode)

That's it. No forks, no patches, no modified binaries. Just configuration.
