About this skill

Integrate Gateway

Integrate the current codebase with TrueFoundry AI Gateway. This skill runs inside the customer's repo and has full filesystem access — use it for deep analysis, not surface scanning.

When to Use

  • Customer has a TFY account and wants to route AI traffic through the gateway
  • Audit which LLM calls bypass the gateway
  • Migrate hardcoded credentials to TFY Secrets
  • Ensure every model in use is configured in the gateway
  • Customer says "integrate", "connect to gateway", "route through TrueFoundry", "audit my AI calls"

When NOT to Use

  • No TFY account yet -> onboard skill first
  • Just wants to call a model -> gateway skill
  • Wants to configure routing/guardrails without migration -> gateway skill
  • Wants to deploy a model -> Enterprise feature

What This Skill Does That Others Don't

This skill has the codebase. It can:

  • Read actual source files to understand how clients are instantiated
  • Trace env var references to .env files and docker-compose configs
  • Detect whether code uses env vars (easy migration) or hardcodes values (needs edits)
  • Identify the framework stack (bare SDK vs LangChain vs LlamaIndex vs Vercel AI)
  • Check if .env is gitignored before any key operations
  • Detect monorepo structure and scope appropriately
  • Find model names used across the codebase for virtual model planning
  • Read existing CI/CD configs to understand deployment flow

Integration Flow

1. PREFLIGHT     2. SCAN         3. DIFF          4. PLAN         5. APPLY        6. VERIFY
Check login   →  Find all AI  →  Compare with →  Present     →  Make changes → Smoke test
& .env safety    call sites      gateway state    migration      (with conf)    each model

Gateway Model ID Format

Models in the gateway use {provider_account_name}/{model_name}:

  • openai-main/gpt-4o (not gpt-4o)
  • anthropic-main/claude-sonnet-4-20250514 (not claude-sonnet-4-20250514)

Virtual models allow keeping original names — gateway handles the mapping.

Phase 1: Preflight

Before touching anything, verify safety:

# 1. Check TFY login exists
python3 -c "
import json; from pathlib import Path
d = json.loads((Path.home()/'.truefoundry'/'credentials.json').read_text())
host = d.get('host') or d.get('base_url') or ''
token = d.get('access_token') or d.get('refresh_token') or ''
print(f'tfy login: {\"ok (\" + host + \")\" if host and token else \"missing\"}')" 2>/dev/null || echo "tfy login: missing"

# 2. Check .env is gitignored (CRITICAL — before any key operations)
if [ -f .env ]; then
  git check-ignore .env >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo ".env: gitignored (safe)" || echo ".env: NOT GITIGNORED — fix this first"
fi

# 3. Check TFY env vars
echo "TFY_BASE_URL: ${TFY_BASE_URL:-(not set)}"
echo "TFY_API_KEY: ${TFY_API_KEY:+(set)}${TFY_API_KEY:-(not set)}"

Stop if:

  • tfy login: missing -> use onboard skill
  • .env: NOT GITIGNORED -> fix .gitignore before proceeding
  • TFY_API_KEY: (not set) -> user needs a PAT from dashboard

Phase 2: Deep Scan

Run the scanner script for structured output:

scripts/scan.sh . --skip-tests

Then go deeper — read the actual files to understand patterns:

2.1 Understand Client Instantiation

For each LLM call site found, read the surrounding code to classify:

Pattern Effort Migration
OpenAI() — no args, reads env None Just update env vars
OpenAI(api_key=os.environ["X"]) — key from env, no base_url Low Add OPENAI_BASE_URL to env
OpenAI(api_key="sk-...", base_url="...") — hardcoded Medium Rewrite to use env vars
ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o") — framework with params Medium Add base_url or set env
Multiple providers with different keys High Consolidate to single TFY PAT

2.2 Trace the Dependency Chain

# Where do env vars get set?
rg -rn 'OPENAI_API_KEY|OPENAI_BASE_URL' --include='*.env*' --include='docker-compose*' --include='*.yaml' --include='*.yml' .

# CI/CD pipeline env injection?
find . -name '*.yml' -path '*/.github/*' -exec grep -l 'OPENAI\|ANTHROPIC\|LLM' {} \;
find . -name 'Dockerfile*' -exec grep -l 'OPENAI\|ANTHROPIC\|API_KEY' {} \;

2.3 Detect Framework & Architecture

# Package manager files reveal the stack
cat package.json 2>/dev/null | python3 -c "import sys,json; d=json.load(sys.stdin).get('dependencies',{}); [print(k) for k in d if 'openai' in k or 'anthropic' in k or 'ai-sdk' in k or 'langchain' in k]" 2>/dev/null
cat requirements.txt 2>/dev/null | grep -i 'openai\|anthropic\|langchain\|llama.index\|litellm' 2>/dev/null
cat pyproject.toml 2>/dev/null | grep -i 'openai\|anthropic\|langchain\|llama.index\|litellm' 2>/dev/null

Phase 3: Diff Against Gateway

Compare what the codebase uses against what's already configured:

TFY_API_SH="$(find ~/.claude/skills ~/.cursor/skills ~/.codex/skills -name tfy-api.sh 2>/dev/null | head -1)"

# What's already in the gateway?
$TFY_API_SH GET /api/svc/v1/provider-accounts

# What models are callable?
curl -s "${TFY_BASE_URL}/api/llm/models" -H "Authorization: Bearer ${TFY_API_KEY}" | python3 -c "import sys,json; [print(m['id']) for m in json.load(sys.stdin).get('data',[])]"

Produce a gap analysis:

  • Models in code but NOT in gateway -> need provider account or integration
  • Models in gateway but NOT in code -> already configured, no action
  • Provider keys in .env but NOT in TFY Secrets -> need secret creation

Phase 4: Present Migration Plan

Present findings as an actionable report. Format:

## Integration Summary

| Metric | Count |
|--------|-------|
| LLM call sites found | X |
| Already routed through TFY | Y |
| Need migration | Z |
| Hardcoded credentials (CRITICAL) | N |
| Models missing from gateway | M |

## Call Sites (by migration effort)

### No changes needed (env-var driven)
| File | Line | SDK | Why it works already |
...

### Low effort (add env var)
| File | Line | SDK | What to add |
...

### Medium effort (code change)
| File | Line | SDK | Current → Required change |
...

## Gateway Gaps
| Model | Provider | Status | Action |
...

## Recommended approach:
- [ ] Strategy A or B for model names? (ask user)
- [ ] N env files to update
- [ ] M provider accounts to create
- [ ] Estimated: X minutes

Ask for confirmation before proceeding to Phase 5.

Phase 5: Apply Changes

5.1 Store Provider Keys in TFY Secrets

Never handle raw keys. Tell the user:

"Set your provider keys as environment variables, then I'll store them in TFY Secrets: ! export OPENAI_API_KEY=<your-key>"

Then create secret group:

$TFY_API_SH POST /api/svc/v1/secret-groups "$payload"

5.2 Create Missing Provider Accounts

For templates, see references/provider-manifests.md.

tfy apply -f provider-account.yaml --dry-run --show-diff
tfy apply -f provider-account.yaml

5.3 Create Virtual Models (if Strategy B)

If user chose "keep existing model names", create virtual model routing config. See gateway skill [references/calling-models.md] for gateway-load-balancing-config manifest.

5.4 Update Environment Files

Replace provider keys with TFY PAT and add base URL:

# .env — always use TFY_BASE_URL, never hardcode gateway.truefoundry.ai
OPENAI_API_KEY=<tfy-pat>
OPENAI_BASE_URL=${TFY_BASE_URL}/api/llm

Safety: Keep original .env backed up. Original provider keys are now in TFY Secrets — confirm they're accessible before removing from .env.

5.5 Apply Code Changes (if needed)

For complete before/after patterns per framework, see references/migration-code-patterns.md.

Always ask for confirmation before modifying source files.

5.6 Update .gitignore

grep -q '^\.env$' .gitignore 2>/dev/null || echo '.env' >> .gitignore
grep -q '^\.env\.local$' .gitignore 2>/dev/null || echo '.env.local' >> .gitignore

Phase 6: Verify

Test each model found in the codebase:

scripts/verify-gateway.sh "openai-main/gpt-4o-mini"

Or if using virtual models (Strategy B):

scripts/verify-gateway.sh "gpt-4o-mini"

Present final status:

## Integration Complete

| Model | Status | Latency |
|-------|--------|---------|
| openai-main/gpt-4o | OK | 1.2s |
| anthropic-main/claude-sonnet | OK | 0.8s |

What's now active:
- Cost tracking in TFY dashboard → AI Gateway → Observability
- Request traces with latency, tokens, cost per call
- Budget controls and rate limiting available

Next steps:
- [ ] Set up budget alerts (gateway skill)
- [ ] Add guardrails for content safety
- [ ] Create production VAT for deployed services
- [ ] Configure CI/CD to use TFY_API_KEY secret

  • Secrets: platform skill (Secrets section) for advanced secret management
  • MCP servers: mcp-servers skill to register discovered MCP configs in the registry
  • Onboarding: onboard skill if customer has no TFY account

.env Not Gitignored

STOP. Fix this before any key operations: echo '.env' >> .gitignore && git add .gitignore

tfy login Missing

Use onboard skill. Do not proceed with integration.

No LLM Calls Found

Check: correct project root? Code in subdirectory? Try scripts/scan.sh ./src. Ask if framework isn't covered.

Model Not Found After Provider Account Creation

Verify: integration has correct model_types, collaborators include team:everyone, provider account status is active.

401 After Migration

Check: TFY_API_KEY set to valid PAT/VAT, OPENAI_BASE_URL points to ${TFY_BASE_URL}/api/llm (not hardcoded gateway URL).

Original Keys Lost

Keys should remain in TFY Secrets. Check: $TFY_API_SH GET /api/svc/v1/secret-groups and verify the group exists.

Monorepo — Scan Too Broad

Ask which services to scan. Scope: scripts/scan.sh ./services/api --skip-tests

LiteLLM Already Used as Router

Options: (1) replace with TFY Gateway, (2) point LiteLLM at gateway for observability, (3) keep LiteLLM for dev only.
