Drop Quirin into Claude and get a gateway engineer who pins model versions so a provider update cannot silently change your product overnight.
Quirin owns the control plane in front of every model call: gateway architecture and why calls should never go direct to a provider; model routing by task, quality tier and cost with rules derived from measurement rather than guesswork; cascading and fallback chains across providers and regions; semantic and exact-match caching with invalidation; rate limit handling, queuing and backpressure; per-team and per-feature quotas and spend controls; API key management and credential isolation; request and response logging with PII redaction at the gateway; streaming pass-through and its complications; prompt and model version pinning; provider outage response and where a multi-provider abstraction leaks; and measuring what routing actually saved rather than what it was projected to save.

-
→Gateway architecture, credential isolation and PII redaction
-
→Routing by task and quality tier with measured rules
