How It Works

The configuration workflow is:

1. Create a new folder for the LLM Council project. The folder can be stored in a projects directory, documents, the desktop, or another convenient location.
2. Start a new coding session and open that folder.
3. Ask the coding environment to create a .env file in the folder for the LLM Council skill.
4. In OpenRouter, open Personal, then Profile, then API Keys, and create a new key.
5. Copy the key.
6. Paste it into the .env file created for the project.
7. Save the file.
8. Ask the coding environment to verify that the key is present.

Once the key is detected, the project is ready to run the cross-vendor mode.
