CLIProxyAPI Manager Skill

This skill grants the AI instance the ability to manage the CLIProxyAPI service remotely or locally. With this skill, the AI can automate configuration processes, modify model routing, and monitor service health.

⚠️ Prerequisites (MANDATORY)

Before executing any API operations, the AI must:

1. Confirm Service Status: Check if the CLIProxyAPI process is running (default port 8317).
2. Obtain Management Key: A valid key must be provided for authentication.
   • Check the MANAGEMENT_PASSWORD environment variable.
   • Search for remote-management.secret-key in config.yaml.
   • If the key is hashed (bcrypt), the user must provide the plaintext key or use a temporary key set via the command line (--password).
3. Verify Connectivity: Attempt to call GET /v0/management/config for an authentication test.

Key Workflows

1. Configuration Management

• View Current Config: Call GET /config to understand current routing and model providers.
• Update Model Aliases or API Keys: Use PATCH on the corresponding endpoint (e.g., /claude-api-key or /openai-compatibility).
