Cline CLI usage does not require a hacky solution for getting model access. The focus should be on consolidating these kinds of open source cli coding agents to using openrouter (because that's how I do it). If there's a better way or provider service, we should explore the options.
Upon initial review Cline seems like a great candidate to be added as a new agent adapter.
Although this breaks the philosophy of using pay as you go key, I'd be okay with providing this and others in the future if someone asks for it. However design philosophy remains that I want to mitigate unexpected spend. So if I integrate these kinds of agents where the model provider service has many model options, I'll probably opt to use any free models they provide or very new models to see what they're like.
