Adding AI Providers to Claude Council
Provider Script Interface
Each provider is a shell script in scripts/providers/ that:
- •Accepts a prompt as the first argument
- •Outputs the AI response to stdout
- •Exits 0 on success, non-zero on failure
Quick Start
- •Create
scripts/providers/{name}.sh(seeapi-patterns.mdfor templates) - •
chmod +x scripts/providers/{name}.sh - •Set
{NAME}_API_KEYenvironment variable - •Test:
./scripts/providers/{name}.sh "Hello"
Current Providers
| Provider | API Key Variable | Default Model |
|---|---|---|
| Gemini | GEMINI_API_KEY | gemini-3.1-pro-preview |
| OpenAI | OPENAI_API_KEY | gpt-5.4-pro |
| Grok | GROK_API_KEY | grok-4.20-reasoning |
| Perplexity | PERPLEXITY_API_KEY | sonar-reasoning-pro |
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
