About provider-integration

An agent skill for adding AI providers to Claude Council. It documents the shell-script interface, configuration and testing steps, along with discovery rules for API and CLI providers.

Key features

  1. 01Shell script provider interface
  2. 02API key and model configuration
  3. 03CLI provider discovery rules
  4. 04Troubleshooting and script testing

Use cases

  1. 01Add an API provider to Claude Council
  2. 02Integrate a CLI-based provider
  3. 03Diagnose discovery or call failures

Install

Copy the command and run it in a terminal.

$npx skills add https://github.com/hex/claude-council --skill provider-integration

After installing, type/provider-integrationin Claude Code to confirm it loaded.

Adding AI Providers to Claude Council

Provider Script Interface

Each provider is a shell script in scripts/providers/ that:

  1. Accepts a prompt as the first argument
  2. Outputs the AI response to stdout
  3. Exits 0 on success, non-zero on failure

Quick Start

  1. Create scripts/providers/{name}.sh (see api-patterns.md for templates)
  2. chmod +x scripts/providers/{name}.sh
  3. Set {NAME}_API_KEY environment variable
  4. Test: ./scripts/providers/{name}.sh "Hello"

Current Providers

CLI providers (codex, antigravity, grok-cli, kimi-cli, cursor-cli) need no key: they are discovered when their binary is on PATH and use that CLI's own login. claude-cli and copilot-cli are the exceptions: claude is on every user's PATH, and each copilot question spends a premium request, so neither has a discovery arm and each joins only when named in --providers or COUNCIL_PROVIDERS. See scripts/providers/kimi-cli.sh and cursor-cli.sh for the headless-run pattern: a read-only mode, a JSON output format the answer is parsed from, --model only on an explicit *_CLI_MODEL override, and run_with_deadline in place of the API providers' retry. A CLI that times out or fails reports through cli_failure_message in scripts/lib/cli-stderr.sh: the timeout, or the last 500 bytes of the CLI's stderr with colour codes stripped.

Troubleshooting

  • Not discovered: Check API key is set and script is executable
  • API errors: Verify key, check rate limits, confirm model name
  • Parse fails: Add echo "$RESPONSE" to debug, check response format
