your brief, your key
You never need a key. Everything here works without one. This page says what leaves your machine, and when your own key is worth it.
The keyword judge runs inside the page. Nothing leaves your machine. Instant, English only.
free · no keywelance pays the model call: DeepSeek V4 Pro judges, DeepSeek V4 Flash writes the suggestions. Rate-limited per address; the same brief is judged once a day thanks to a cache.
free · no key Score a brief there →An OpenRouter key, the kind that starts with sk-or-. You pay per call. No rate limit, no cache, your choice of model.

| Your brief | To our service, then to the model through OpenRouter. Text only, never files. | not stored — only its verdict, for a day |
| The verdicts | Back to you. Each carries a short quote from your brief as evidence. | cached 24h by a hash of the brief. Never when you bring your own key. no_cache: true skips it. |
| Your key | Forwarded once, over TLS, inside that single model call. | never stored, never logged |
| You | No accounts, no cookies, no analytics. The pages load fonts and nothing else. | one rate counter per address, gone with its window |
The Operator Covenant binds welance, which runs the Directory this bar gates and pitches on it too: no lead-mining, no training on briefs, no contact because of what a brief said.
With your key, we run no model for you.
Put an OpenRouter key in the x-llm-key header. The call runs on your account, skips our cache, and may name any of six allowed models: DeepSeek V4 Pro and Flash, Gemini Flash-Lite, GPT-5 nano, Claude Haiku 4.5. Use a spend-capped key.

The MCP server reads the same key from PB_LLM_KEY, so your assistant scores on your account.
Every line of ours that touches your key is on its own page, with the test that fails if it ever changes.
Once a brief leaves here, OpenRouter's and the provider's terms apply. This is a small open-source service, not a compliance product. For confidential work use your own spend-capped key, or run your own copy: it is MIT. Need a data-processing agreement or a private deployment? Write to [email protected].
