Scrapes OpenRouter programming model rankings and generates recommended-models.md. Use when: (1) Updating model recommendations before release, (2) Adding new models to recommendations, (3) Verifying model pricing/context window updates.

| 19 | <critical_constraints> |
| 20 | <approach_requirement priority="ABSOLUTE"> |
| 21 | **THIS AGENT MUST USE CHROME DEVTOOLS MCP - NO EXCEPTIONS** |
| 22 | |
| 23 | ✅ **ONLY ALLOWED APPROACH:** |
| 24 | - mcp__chrome-devtools__navigate - Navigate to web pages |
| 25 | - mcp__chrome-devtools__evaluate - Execute JavaScript in browser |
| 26 | - mcp__chrome-devtools__screenshot - Take debugging screenshots |
| 27 | - mcp__chrome-devtools__console - Read console logs |
| 28 | |
| 29 | ❌ **ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN:** |
| 30 | - curl, wget, or any HTTP client commands |
| 31 | - fetch() or any JavaScript HTTP requests |
| 32 | - API endpoints (https://openrouter.ai/api/*) |
| 33 | - Bash scripts that make network requests |
| 34 | - Any approach that doesn't use the browser |
| 35 | |
| 36 | **WHY:** OpenRouter rankings page is a React SPA. The data is rendered |
| 37 | client-side via JavaScript. API endpoints don't expose the rankings data. |
| 38 | ONLY browser-based scraping works. |
| 39 | |
| 40 | **IF MCP IS UNAVAILABLE:** STOP immediately and report configuration error. |
| 41 | DO NOT attempt fallback approaches. |
| 42 | </approach_requirement> |
| 43 | |
| 44 | <todowrite_requirement> |
| 45 | You MUST use TodoWrite to track scraping progress through all phases. |
| 46 | |
| 47 | Before starting, create a todo list with: |
| 48 | 1. Navigate to OpenRouter rankings page |
| 49 | 2. Extract top 12 model rankings with provider field (UPDATED) |
| 50 | 3. Pre-filter Anthropic models (NEW - Phase 2.5) |
| 51 | 4. Extract model details via search for non-Anthropic models (UPDATED) |
| 52 | 5. Generate recommendations markdown |
| 53 | 6. Validate and write output file |
| 54 | 7. Report scraping summary |
| 55 | |
| 56 | Update continuously as you complete each phase. |
| 57 | </todowrite_requirement> |
| 58 | |
| 59 | <mcp_availability> |
| 60 | This agent REQUIRES Chrome DevTools MCP server to be configured and running. |
| 61 | If MCP tools are not available, STOP and report configuration error. |
| 62 | |
| 63 | Test MCP availability by attempting to navigate to a test URL first. |
| 64 | </mcp_availability> |
| 65 | |
| 66 | <data_quality> |
| 67 | - Validate ALL extracted data before writing to file |
| 68 | - If any model is missing critical data (slug, price, context), skip it |
| 69 | - Minimum 6 valid non-Anthropic models required (UPDATED: was 7 total) |
| 70 | - Rationale: Top 12 models include ~3 Anthropic (pre-filtered), leaving ~9 for extraction |
| 71 | - Success threshold: 6/9 = 67% success rate |
| 72 | - Report extraction failures with details |
| 73 | - Each model MUST have: inputPrice, outputPrice, contextWindow |
| 74 | </data_quality> |
| 75 | |
| 76 | <tiered_pricing_handling priority="CRITICAL"> |
| 77 | **CRITICAL: Some models have tiered/conditional pricing where cost increases |
| 78 | dramatically at higher context windows. Always select the CHEAPEST tier.** |
| 79 | |
| 80 | See `shared/TIERED_PRICING_SPEC.md` (in repository root) for full specification. |
| 81 | |
| 82 | **Detection:** |
| 83 | When extracting pricing, check if model has multiple pricing tiers: |
| 84 | - Single object: `{ "prompt": 0.85, "completion": 1.50 }` → Flat pricing |
| 85 | - Array/multiple entries → Tiered pricing (e.g., Claude Sonnet: 0-200K vs 200K-1M) |
| 86 | |
| 87 | **Selection Logic (IF tiered pricing detected):** |
| 88 | 1. Calculate average price for EACH tier: `avgPrice = (input + output) / 2` |
| 89 | 2. Select tier with LOWEST average price |
| 90 | 3. Use that tier's MAXIMUM context window (NOT the full model capacity!) |
| 91 | 4. Record tier metadata: `tiered: true`, note about pricing |
| 92 | |
| 93 | **Example: Claude Sonnet 4.5** |
| 94 | ``` |
| 95 | OpenRouter shows: |
| 96 | - Context: 1,000,000 tokens |
| 97 | - Tier 1 (0-200K): $3 input, $15 output → avg $9/1M |
| 98 | - Tier 2 (200K-1M): $30 input, $150 output → avg $90/1M (10x!) |
| 99 | |
| 100 | CORRECT extraction: |
| 101 | - slug: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5 |
| 102 | - price: 9.00 (tier 1 average) |
| 103 | - context: 200K (tier 1 maximum, NOT 1M!) |
| 104 | - tiered: true |
| 105 | - |
