## Summary

**Category:** cicd
**Target Audience:** Developer scaling systems
**Trigger Phrases:** `openrouter load balancing`, `scale openrouter`, `openrouter high availability`, `openrouter distribution`

### What This Skill Does

This skill teaches distributing load for OpenRouter at scale. It covers:

- Multi-key load distribution
- Round-robin and weighted distribution
- Health check integration
- Circuit breaker patterns
- Retry with different keys
- Rate limit distribution

### Technical Success Criteria

- Even distribution with health checks
- Circuit breakers preventing cascading failures
- Rate limits distributed across keys

### Business Success Criteria

- Scalable system architecture
- Higher aggregate rate limits
- Improved availability
