add-driver

name: add-driver description: Scaffold a new LLM provider driver for Prompture. Creates sync + async driver classes, registers them in the driver registry, adds settings, env template, setup.py extras, package exports, discovery integration, and models.dev pricing. Use when adding support for a new LLM provider. metadata: author: prompture version: "2.0"

Add a New LLM Driver

Scaffolds all files needed to integrate a new LLM provider into Prompture.

Before Starting

Ask the user for:

• Provider name (lowercase, used as registry key and provider/model prefix)
• SDK package name on PyPI and minimum version (or requests/httpx for raw HTTP)
• Default model ID
• Authentication — API key env var name, endpoint URL, or both
• API compatibility — OpenAI-compatible (/v1/chat/completions), custom SDK, or proprietary HTTP
• Lazy or eager import — lazy if SDK is optional, eager if it's in install_requires

Also look up the provider on models.dev to determine:

• models.dev provider name (e.g., "anthropic" for Claude, "xai" for Grok, "moonshotai" for Moonshot)
• Whether models.dev has entries — if yes, pricing comes from models.dev live data (set MODEL_PRICING = {}). Either way, add a JSON rate file in prompture/infra/rates/ with model capabilities (tokens_param, supports_temperature, etc.).

Files to Create or Modify (11 total)

1. NEW: prompture/drivers/{provider}_driver.py (sync driver)

See references/driver-template.md for the full skeleton.

Key rules:

• Subclass CostMixin, Driver (NOT just Driver)
• Set class-level capability flags: supports_json_mode, supports_json_schema, supports_tool_use, supports_streaming, supports_vision, supports_messages
• Use self._get_model_config(provider, model) to get per-model tokens_param and supports_temperature from models.dev
• Use self._calculate_cost(provider, model, prompt_tokens, completion_tokens) — do NOT manually compute costs
• Use self._validate_model_capabilities(provider, model, ...) before API calls to warn about unsupported features
• Set MODEL_PRICING: dict[str, dict[str, Any]] = {} (always empty — pricing and config come from JSON rate files and models.dev)
• Create a JSON rate file at prompture/infra/rates/{provider}.json with model capabilities
• generate() returns {"text": str, "meta": dict}
• meta MUST contain: prompt_tokens, completion_tokens, total_tokens, cost, raw_response, model_name
• Implement generate_messages(), generate_messages_with_tools(), and generate_messages_stream() for full feature support
• Optional SDK: wrap import in try/except, raise ImportError pointing to pip install prompture[{provider}]

2. NEW: prompture/drivers/async_{provider}_driver.py (async driver)

Mirror of the sync driver using AsyncDriver base class:

• Subclass CostMixin, AsyncDriver
• Same capability flags as the sync driver
• Share MODEL_PRICING from the sync driver: MODEL_PRICING = {Provider}Driver.MODEL_PRICING
• Use httpx.AsyncClient for HTTP calls (or async SDK methods)
• All generate methods are async def
• Streaming returns AsyncIterator[dict[str, Any]]

3. prompture/drivers/__init__.py

• Add sync import: from .{provider}_driver import {Provider}Driver
• Add async import: from .async_{provider}_driver import Async{Provider}Driver
• Register sync driver with register_driver():

  register_driver(
      "{provider}",
      lambda model=None: {Provider}Driver(
          api_key=settings.{provider}_api_key,
          model=model or settings.{provider}_model,
      ),
      overwrite=True,
  )
  

• Add "{Provider}Driver" and "Async{Provider}Driver" to __all__

4. prompture/__init__.py

• Add {Provider}Driver to the .drivers import line
• Add "{Provider}Driver" to __all__ under # Drivers

5. prompture/settings.py

Add inside Settings class:

# {Provider}
{provider}_api_key: Optional[str] = None
{provider}_model: str = "default-model"
# Add endpoint if the provider supports custom endpoints:
# {provider}_endpoint: str = "https://api.example.com/v1"

6. prompture/discovery.py

Two changes required:

a) Add to provider_classes dict and configuration check:

• Import the driver class at the top of the file
• Add to provider_classes: "{provider}": {Provider}Driver
• Add configuration check in the is_configured block:

  elif provider == "{provider}":
      if settings.{provider}_api_key or os.getenv("{PROVIDER}_API_KEY"):
          is_configured = True
  

  For local/endpoint-only providers (like ollama), use endpoint presence instead.

b) This ensures get_available_models() returns the provider's models from both:

• Static detection: capabilities KB (JSON rate files) via get_kb_models_for_provider()
• models.dev enrichment: via PROVIDER_MAP in model_rates.py (see step 7)

7. prompture/model_rates.py — PROVIDER_MAP

If models.dev has this provider's data, add the mapping:

PROVIDER_MAP: dict[str, str] = {
    ...
    "{provider}": "{models_dev_name}",  # e.g., "moonshot": "moonshotai"
}

This enables:

• Live pricing via get_model_rates() — used by CostMixin._calculate_cost()
• Capability metadata via get_model_capabilities() — used by _get_model_config() and _validate_model_capabilities()
• Model discovery via get_all_provider_models() — called by discovery.py to list all available models

To find the correct models.dev name, check: https://models.dev/{models_dev_name}

If models.dev does NOT have this provider, skip this step. The driver will use hardcoded MODEL_PRICING for costs and return None for capabilities.

8. setup.py / pyproject.toml

If optional: add "{provider}": ["{sdk}>={version}"] to extras_require. If required: add to install_requires.

9. .env.copy

Add section:

# {Provider} Configuration
{PROVIDER}_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
{PROVIDER}_MODEL=default-model

10. CLAUDE.md

Add {provider} to the driver list in the Module Layout bullet.

11. OPTIONAL: examples/{provider}_example.py

Follow the existing example pattern (see grok_example.py or groq_example.py):

• Two extraction examples: default instruction + custom instruction
• Show different models if available
• Print JSON output and token usage statistics

Important: Reasoning Model Handling

If the provider has reasoning models (models with reasoning: true on models.dev):

• Check caps.is_reasoning before sending response_format — reasoning models often don't support it
• Handle reasoning_content field in responses (both regular and streaming)
• Some reasoning models don't support temperature — respect supports_temperature from _get_model_config()

Example pattern (see moonshot_driver.py):

if options.get("json_mode"):
    from ..model_rates import get_model_capabilities

    caps = get_model_capabilities("{provider}", model)
    is_reasoning = caps is not None and caps.is_reasoning is True
    model_supports_structured = (
        caps is None or caps.supports_structured_output is not False
    ) and not is_reasoning

    if model_supports_structured:
        # Send response_format
        ...

How models.dev Integration Works

User calls extract_and_jsonify("moonshot/kimi-k2.5", ...)
    │
    ├─► core.py checks driver.supports_json_mode → decides json_mode
    │
    ├─► driver._get_model_config("moonshot", "kimi-k2.5")
    │       └─► model_rates.get_model_capabilities("moonshot", "kimi-k2.5")
    │               └─► PROVIDER_MAP["moonshot"] → "moonshotai"
    │               └─► models.dev data["moonshotai"]["models"]["kimi-k2.5"]
    │               └─► Returns: supports_temperature, is_reasoning, context_window, etc.
    │
    ├─► driver._calculate_cost("moonshot", "kimi-k2.5", tokens...)
    │       └─► model_rates.get_model_rates("moonshot", "kimi-k2.5")
    │               └─► Same lookup → returns {input: 0.6, output: 3.0} per 1M tokens
    │
    └─► discovery.get_available_models()
            └─► Iterates PROVIDER_MAP → get_all_provider_models("moonshotai")
            └─► Returns all model IDs under the provider

Model Name Resolution

Model names are always provider-scoped. The format is "provider/model_id".

• get_driver_for_model("openrouter/qwen-2.5") → looks up "openrouter" in the driver registry
• get_model_capabilities("openrouter", "qwen-2.5") → looks in models.dev under data["openrouter"]["models"]["qwen-2.5"]
• get_model_capabilities("modelscope", "qwen-2.5") → looks in models.dev under data["modelscope"]["models"]["qwen-2.5"]

The same model ID under different providers is not ambiguous — each provider has its own namespace in both the driver registry and models.dev data.

Verification

# Import check
python -c "from prompture import {Provider}Driver; print('OK')"
python -c "from prompture.drivers import Async{Provider}Driver; print('OK')"

# Registry check
python -c "from prompture.drivers import get_driver_for_model; d = get_driver_for_model('{provider}/test'); print(type(d).__name__, d.model)"

# Discovery check
python -c "from prompture import get_available_models; ms = [m for m in get_available_models() if m.startswith('{provider}/')]; print(f'Found {{len(ms)}} models'); print(ms[:5])"
