Context
CLIProxyAPI++ extends a multi-provider AI proxy with routing, authentication, quota management, and operational controls.
Problem
Using multiple AI providers requires unified auth, rate limiting, failover, and cost tracking missing from single-provider setups.
Architecture
Proxy layer handling routing decisions, auth delegation, quota enforcement, and operational observability across providers.
Key decisions
The fork adds routing and quota controls the upstream passthrough does not have.
Constraints
Provider-specific auth patterns, rate limits, and response formats must be handled without leaking complexity.
Verification
Scope is defined by repository evidence and attribution to router-for-me/CLIProxyAPI.
Retrospective
Extending the proxy beat replacing it: upstream stays, controls sit on top.
