LLM CLI with idapt

Register idapt's base URL as an OpenAI-compatible model in llm and script any catalog model from the shell.

1. 1

   Install

   bash

   pip install llm

2. 2

   Point it at idapt

   yaml

   llm keys set idapt
   
   # extra-openai-models.yaml in llm's config directory:
   - model_id: sonnet-idapt
     model_name: anthropic/claude-sonnet-5
     api_base: "https://idapt.app/api/openrouter/v1"
     api_key_name: idapt
   
   llm -m sonnet-idapt "Summarize this diff"

   model_name is what gets sent to the endpoint; model_id is the local name. Check the registration with llm models --options -m sonnet-idapt.

3. 3

   Going further

   bash

   # One-shot against the endpoint, nothing saved or logged:
   llm openai endpoint https://idapt.app/api/openrouter/v1 \
     -m anthropic/claude-sonnet-5 \
     --key idapt \
     --chat

   Reasoning effort on reasoning-capable endpoints: -o reasoning_effort high (none, minimal, low, medium, high, xhigh, max).
