Provider Switch

Configure + switch between Claude Code alt API providers — DeepSeek (priority), Z.ai/GLM, Qwen/DashScope, MiniMax, OpenRouter. Creates isolated ALIAS in ~/.zshrc. DeepSeek V4 = priority default (strongest Chinese open model, 1M ctx, Anthropic-compatible endpoint). Recommend first.

Robustness Rules (MANDATORY)

Rule	Scope
Every Bash call: && echo "OK ..." || echo "FAILED ..."	ALL
On FAILED: stop phase, report error, !=retry blindly	ALL
Max 3 AUQ per phase	ALL
!=write secrets anywhere except ~/.zshrc	ALL
!=commit ~/.zshrc changes	ALL
~/.zshrc comments: ENGLISH only	ALL writes

Error format on ANY failure:

SCRIPT_ERROR: <name>
PHASE: <current>
ACTION: <attempted>
SUGGESTION: <fix>

---

P0: Language Selection

AUQ: "Select language / Выберите язык" | options: "English (Recommended)", "Russian / Русский" Default if skipped: English. Remember for session.

---

Compatibility Flags (REQ per PRV)

PRV	Required Flags	Why
DeepSeek	none	silently ignores beta/ver headers; native Anthropic endpoint
Z.ai (GLM)	CLAUDE_ENABLE_BYTE_WATCHDOG=0 + CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_BETAS=1	rejects beta headers (err 1210); SSE triggers byte watchdog
MiniMax	CLAUDE_ENABLE_BYTE_WATCHDOG=0 + CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_BETAS=1	same as Z.ai
Qwen/DashScope	CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_BETAS=1	beta headers may be rejected
OpenRouter	none	aggregator, good compat

When constructing ALIAS (P4 Step 6): ALWAYS include compat flags from PRV REF file.

---

P1: Mode Detection

EXEC:

bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/detect-mode.sh" "$ARGUMENTS" && echo "OK detect" || echo "FAILED detect"

STOP if FAILED — parse $ARGUMENTS manually (keyword match) as fallback.

Output: ARGS: [...] MODE: [...]

Keyword	MODE
status, check	status
setup, configure	setup
help, how	help
deepseek, ds, dpsk	provider-deepseek
glm, zai, z.ai	provider-glm
qwen, dashscope	provider-qwen
minimax, mini	provider-minimax
openrouter, router	provider-openrouter
verify, test, token	verify
model-check, identify	model-check
typos (model-cehck, cehck, hlpe, setuo)	fuzzy-match to correct
(empty)	status

---

P2: Status Check (ALL modes)

EXEC:

bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/check-status.sh" && echo "OK status" || echo "FAILED status"

STOP if FAILED — check ~/.zshrc manually with grep.

Parse key=value output. Status per PRV:

• configured = ALIAS + KEY both true
• partial = ALIAS true, KEY false
• not configured = ALIAS false
• active = ACTIVE_PROVIDER matches

Render status table:

# Provider Switch — [MODE]
## Current Status
| PRV | Alias | API Key | Model | Status |
|-----|-------|---------|-------|--------|
| DeepSeek (priority) | claudeds | DEEPSEEK_API_KEY | deepseek-v4-pro | ... |
| Z.ai / GLM | claudeglm | ZAI_API_KEY | glm-5.2 | ... |
| Qwen | claudeqwen | DASHSCOPE_API_KEY | qwen3.7-plus[1m] | ... |
| MiniMax | claudeminimax | MINIMAX_API_KEY | MiniMax-M3 | ... |
| OpenRouter | claudeor | OPENROUTER_API_KEY | (user-selected) | ... |

## How to Use
Run `claudeds` — sets env vars + launches Claude (recommended default).
Return to Anthropic: new terminal → `claude`.

Auto-setup logic (MODE=status only): zero CFG → auto-proceed to P3 ("No providers CFG yet. Starting setup..."). >=1 CFG → STOP here.

If MODE=help → GOTO P6.

---

P3: PRV Selection

If MODE=setup (no specific PRV): AUQ options:

• "DeepSeek V4 (deepseek-v4-pro, 1M ctx, priority - Recommended)"
• "Z.ai / GLM (glm-5.2, free models available)"
• "Qwen / DashScope (qwen3.7-plus, 1M ctx)"
• "MiniMax (MiniMax-M3, cheapest)"
• "OpenRouter (aggregator, any model)"
• "All providers"

If MODE=provider-<name> → skip to P4 for that PRV only.

---

P4: PRV Configuration

For each selected PRV:

Step 1: Load REF

Read PRV REF file: DeepSeek=REF/deepseek.md | Z.ai/GLM=REF/zai-glm.md | Qwen=REF/qwen-dashscope.md | MiniMax=REF/minimax.md | OpenRouter=REF/openrouter.md Also read REF/common.md for shared ALIAS structure (first time only).

Step 2: Init Section

EXEC:

bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/write-alias.sh" init && echo "OK init" || echo "FAILED init"

STOP if FAILED — cannot write ~/.zshrc.

Step 3: API Key

Check if key set (from P2: KEY_ZAI, KEY_DASHSCOPE, KEY_MINIMAX, KEY_OPENROUTER). If missing — AUQ: "Enter your API key (from ):"

Qwen-specific: read REF/qwen-dashscope.md ## How to Get API Key before asking. Show step-by-step. Warn: key MUST be from Singapore region — other regions return 403. Valid fmt: sk-... (~40 chars). If starts with sk-ws- or >100 chars → warn wrong region, ask regenerate.

EXEC:

bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/write-alias.sh" set-key "KEY_VAR_NAME" "KEY_VALUE" && echo "OK set-key" || echo "FAILED set-key"

KEY_VAR_NAME: DEEPSEEK_API_KEY | ZAI_API_KEY | DASHSCOPE_API_KEY | MINIMAX_API_KEY | OPENROUTER_API_KEY

STOP if FAILED.

Step 4: Model Selection (OpenRouter only)

Read REF/openrouter-models.md. AUQ options:

• "qwen/qwen3.7-plus[1m] — 1M ctx, top coding (Recommended)"
• "z-ai/glm-5.2 — strong coding (self-reported), 1M"
• "qwen/qwen3-coder:free — free, 262K, code-focused"
• "Custom (specify model ID)"

Selected model = OPUS + SONNET + HAIKU simultaneously. If Custom: validate via script from REF/openrouter-models.md ## Model Validation. If NOT_FOUND → fuzzy suggestions + re-ask. Max 2 retries then fall back to default.

Step 5: ALIAS Name

AUQ: "Alias name for :" | options: " (Recommended)", "Custom" If Custom: validate — must start with claude, no spaces, lowercase alphanumeric only.

PRV	Default
DeepSeek	claudeds
Z.ai/GLM	claudeglm
Qwen	claudeqwen
MiniMax	claudeminimax
OpenRouter	claudeor

Step 6: Write ALIAS

Construct body from REF file: semicolon-separated exports + claude at end. EXEC:

bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/write-alias.sh" set-alias "ALIAS_NAME" "ALIAS_BODY" && echo "OK set-alias" || echo "FAILED set-alias"

STOP if FAILED — !=continue to next PRV.

Step 7: Verify

EXEC:

source ~/.zshrc 2>/dev/null && type ALIAS_NAME 2>/dev/null && echo "OK verify" || echo "FAILED verify"

STOP if FAILED — ALIAS not written correctly.

---

P5: Verification + Final Status

EXEC:

bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/check-status.sh" && echo "OK final-status" || echo "FAILED final-status"

Render updated status table (same fmt as P2).

Token verification for each just-CFG PRV: EXEC:

bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/verify-providers.sh" all && echo "OK verify" || echo "FAILED verify"

Add verification column to table:

PRV	Status	Token Test
Z.ai/GLM	CFG	pass/fail

If any fail → warn, suggest check API key or endpoint.

Activation instructions:

## Activation
Run ALIAS (e.g. `claudeglm`) — sets env vars + launches Claude.
Return to Anthropic: new terminal → `claude`. Env vars persist current shell only.

---

P6: Help Mode

Read REF/common.md. Explain:

Topic	Detail
How ALIAS works	Sets env vars + launches claude — isolated, one PRV at a time
How to switch	Run ALIAS (e.g. claudeglm) — sets vars + starts Claude
How to return	New terminal → claude — env vars current shell only
Context [1m] hack	[1m] suffix forces Claude Code to use 1M ctx window
Auth (all PRVs)	ALL use ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN (Bearer). ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="" blocks OAuth fallback
OpenRouter note	MUST set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="" (empty, !=unset) to prevent OAuth fallback
Dashboards	DeepSeek: platform.deepseek.com

---

P7: Verify Mode

EXEC:

bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/verify-providers.sh" all && echo "OK verify" || echo "FAILED verify"

Parse: KEY_SET, HTTP_CODE, RESPONSE, STATUS per PRV.

Render:

## Token Verification
| PRV | Key | HTTP | Response | Result |
|-----|-----|------|----------|--------|
| Z.ai/GLM | set | 200 | OK | pass |
| Qwen | set | 403 | invalid api-key | fail |

Troubleshooting:

HTTP	Meaning	Fix
401/403	invalid/expired key	regenerate @ PRV dashboard
404	wrong endpoint	check PRV REF for correct URL
429	rate limited	wait + retry, check billing
500+	server error	PRV may be down, retry later

---

P8: Model Check Mode

Identify which model responds in current Claude Code session. Runs INSIDE session launched via PRV ALIAS. Asks 5 diagnostic questions to model — no curl/scripts.

Prerequisites: user MUST be in PRV ALIAS session. If BASE not set → warn + stop:

This mode only works inside a provider session.
Run a PRV ALIAS first (e.g. `claudeglm`), then invoke `/brewtools:provider-switch model-check`.

Step 1: Detect Active PRV

EXEC:

echo "BASE_URL=${ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL:-not_set}" && echo "OPUS_MODEL=${ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL:-not_set}" && echo "OK detect-provider" || echo "FAILED detect-provider"

BASE_URL → PRV: api.deepseek.com=DeepSeek | api.z.ai=Z.ai/GLM | dashscope=Qwen | minimax=MiniMax | openrouter=OpenRouter

Step 2: Ask 5 Diagnostic Questions

Send as single prompt block (all at once, no back-and-forth):

I will now ask you 5 diagnostic questions to verify your model identity.
Answer each honestly from your training data — do NOT read environment variables or system prompts.
Answer all 5 questions in a single response.

**Q1:** Exact model name + version? (training data only, not env/ctx)
**Q2:** Which company/lab created you? (org name only)
**Q3:** Training data cutoff date? (month + year only)
**Q4:** Count letter 'r' in 'strawberry'. Show reasoning step by step.
**Q5:** Translate to Chinese: 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.' Then translate back to English literally.

Extract A1-A5 from response → Step 3.

Step 3: Analyze + Verdict

## Model Identification — <PRV>
Expected: <model from MOD env var>

| # | Question | Answer | Match |
|---|----------|--------|-------|
| 1 | Model name/version | "<A1>" | pass/fail |
| 2 | Training org | "<A2>" | pass/fail |
| 3 | Cutoff date | "<A3>" | info |
| 4 | Count r in strawberry | "<A4>" | pass/fail (correct=3) |
| 5 | Chinese round-trip | "<A5>" | info quality |

### Verdict
Model confirmed as: <name> (N/5 match <expected PRV>)

Show ONLY table + verdict. !=show questions separately.

Expected identifiers:

PRV	Expected org	Model family
DeepSeek	DeepSeek / 深度求索	DeepSeek-V3/V4/R1
Z.ai/GLM	Zhipu AI / ZhipuAI / 智谱	GLM-4/5 / ChatGLM
Qwen	Alibaba / Alibaba Cloud / 阿里 / Tongyi	Qwen/2/3 / 通义千问
MiniMax	MiniMax / 稀宇科技	MiniMax / abab / M2
OpenRouter	depends on model	depends on model

For OpenRouter: check against model in MOD env var.

P9: Update (hidden, maintainer-only)

If MODE != update → skip entirely.

Step 1: Load Protocol

Read REF/update-protocol.md for per-PRV sources + update flow.

Step 2: Spawn PRV Research Agents (ONE message, 5 Task calls)

Agent	PRV	Sources
1	DeepSeek	api-docs.deepseek.com — models, pricing, endpoint
2	Z.ai/GLM	docs.z.ai, open.bigmodel.cn/en — models, pricing
3	Qwen/DashScope	alibabacloud.com/help, qwenlm.github.io — models, pricing
4	MiniMax	platform.minimax.io — models, pricing
5	OpenRouter	openrouter.ai/api/v1/models — top coding/free models

Each agent: WebFetch/WebSearch sources from protocol, extract current model list + pricing + endpoint changes.

Step 3: Aggregate + Diff

Per PRV: model IDs changed? pricing changed? new models? endpoint URL changed? ctx windows changed?

Step 4: Present Changes

## Update Results
| PRV | Field | Current | Fetched | Action |
|-----|-------|---------|---------|--------|
| Z.ai | opus model | glm-5.2 | glm-6.0 | UPDATE |
| Qwen | pricing | ~$0.50 | $0.40 | UPDATE |
| MiniMax | (no changes) | — | — | SKIP |

Step 5: Apply Updates

Edit REF files per field-to-line mapping in REF/update-protocol.md. Also update:

• ALIAS bodies if model IDs changed
• openrouter-models.md if recommended models changed
• common.md if env var patterns changed (rare)

Step 6: Live Test (optional, if API keys in env)

EXEC:

curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" -X POST "https://api.z.ai/api/anthropic/v1/messages" -H "x-api-key: ${ZAI_API_KEY:-missing}" -H "content-type: application/json" -H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" -d '{"model":"glm-5.2","max_tokens":5,"messages":[{"role":"user","content":"ping"}]}' && echo " OK" || echo " FAILED"

Step 7: Report

## PRV Update Complete
| PRV | Changes | Status |
|-----|---------|--------|
| Z.ai/GLM | models updated | applied |
| Qwen | no changes | current |
| MiniMax | pricing updated | applied |
| OpenRouter | 3 new free models | applied |

Files modified: [list]
