Initial release. OLP (Open LLM Proxy) is a personal- and family-scale
multi-provider LLM proxy that supersedes OCP (Open Claude Proxy).
Trigger: Anthropic's 2026-05-14 announcement (effective 2026-06-15)
moves `claude -p` / Agent SDK / third-party agent traffic out of the
Pro/Max subscription pool into a separate fixed monthly Agent SDK
Credit pool. OCP's foundational assumption ("subscription = unlimited
within rate limits") breaks for Anthropic on that date. Spreading
risk across multiple providers is the structural response.
Phase 0 lands:
- ALIGNMENT.md (constitution: 5 Rules, 3 Authorities, 4-tier Risk
Framework, 8-provider inventory)
- AGENTS.md (multi-tool agent guidelines; inherits cc-rules)
- CLAUDE.md (Claude-Code session instructions + release_kit overlay)
- README.md (phase-aware skeleton)
- docs/adr/0001-0006 (Founding ADRs: project founding / plugin
architecture / IR design / fallback engine / cross-provider cache /
provider inclusion + risk-tier framework)
- .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md (8-radio Change Type + per-type
Authority Evidence + Iron Rule 10 reviewer checklist)
- .github/workflows/alignment.yml (blacklist + Antigravity exclusion
enforcement + models-registry validator + commit-citation soft check)
- .github/workflows/release.yml (auto-release on tag with version
match check per Iron Rule 5)
- .github/workflows/test.yml (Node 20/24 matrix, bootstrap-tolerant)
- package.json, .gitignore, LICENSE (MIT), CHANGELOG.md
Provider inventory at bootstrap:
Tier D (default-enabled): anthropic, openai, mistral
Tier C (opt-in): grok, kimi
Tier B (opt-in + consent): minimax, glm, qwen
Tier A (permanently excluded): google-antigravity
Supersedes OCP ADR 0005 (No Multi-Provider) per OLP ADR 0001. OCP
will enter maintenance mode when OLP v0.1 ships per Phase 7 plan.
Iron Rule 10 gate: fresh-context independent opus reviewer audited
all 15 governance files against OLP v0.1 spec + OCP precedent.
Verdict: APPROVE_WITH_MINOR. Two minor findings folded in:
1. alignment.yml heredoc EOF moved to column 0 (was indented;
bash parse failed silently on real blacklist hits, printing
a cryptic "syntax error" instead of the structured ALIGNMENT
GUARDRAIL FAILURE banner).
2. AGENTS.md clarified that the SPOT discipline for
models-registry.json will be codified by a Phase-1 ADR (OLP
ADR 0003 is currently the IR design, not a SPOT codification;
OCP's ADR 0003 is the precedent but OLP's registry shape
differs and warrants its own ADR).

Architecture Decision Records — OLP
This directory holds the OLP Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) — short documents that capture the why behind structural choices.
Read these before proposing governance, plug-in contract, IR, fallback, cache, or provider-inclusion changes.
Numbering
ADRs in OLP start at 0001 (the project's founding decision). OLP did not inherit the 0001 placeholder convention OCP used; the project starts on a fresh numbering line.
New ADRs increment from the highest existing number. Filenames are NNNN-<short-slug>.md.
Index
| ADR | Title | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| 0001 | Project Founding | Why OLP exists (the 2026-06-15 Anthropic billing-split trigger), mission + non-mission boundaries, explicit supersession of OCP ADR 0005 "No Multi-Provider". |
| 0002 | Plugin Architecture for Providers | The lib/providers/<name>.mjs plug-in model, the Provider contract (name / models / auth / spawn / estimateCost / quotaStatus / healthCheck / hints), static in-tree registry, why-not full external plugin discovery. |
| 0003 | Intermediate Representation (IR) Design | The OLP-internal canonical request/response shape between the OpenAI-compat entry surface and each provider plugin. v1.0 IR fields, IR-vs-OpenAI-vs-native-provider three-shape model, IR is not exposed externally. |
| 0004 | Fallback Engine Semantics & Safety | Trigger taxonomy (Hard / Soft / Deterministic-deferred / Cost-aware-deferred), idempotent-failure safety (first-chunk rule), chain advancement one-at-a-time, observability headers. |
| 0005 | Cache Layer Cross-Provider Design | Cache key composition over (provider, model, messages, …), per-model isolation, D1+D2+D3+D4 port from OCP v3.13.0, cross-provider fallback cache behaviour (correct miss). |
| 0006 | Provider Inclusion / Exclusion + Risk-Tier Framework | The 4-tier classification (A excluded / B explicit consent / C opt-in / D default-enabled), current v0.1 inventory, Antigravity exclusion rationale (named prohibition + no cost advantage + reinstatement friction), consent UX, future provider addition procedure. |
When to write a new ADR
Open one whenever:
- A structural rule is being added or changed (e.g., new IR field, new trigger type, new cache-key composition).
- A new provider plugin is being proposed (per ADR 0002 + ADR 0006 — ADR is a hard prerequisite for plugin merge).
- A decision encodes a lesson from an external event (provider policy change, drift incident).
- A future contributor reading the code alone could plausibly undo or re-litigate the choice.
Skip ADRs for routine implementation choices (algorithm pick, naming) — those belong in commit messages.
Format
Keep ADRs short — Context / Decision / Consequences / Alternatives is the standard skeleton. Cite incidents, PRs, or commits where useful. Length per ADR ~150–250 lines; longer than that, split.
