What is netllm-connect-editor?

A setup guide for connecting coding editors and AI coding tools to a running netllm agent, which serves local language models on your computer.

Use it when connecting Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, VS Code Copilot, Honcho, or Hermes Agent to netllm and choosing a local model.

It removes the guesswork from configuring each editor to use netllm. It checks whether the local agent is available and provides settings you can copy.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00113	$0.01398
Opus 5.5	$0.00045	$0.00559
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00023	$0.00280
Haiku 4.5	$0.00011	$0.00140

Security

Grade A, and why

netllm-connect-editor scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

netllm connect editor

When to use this skill

User wants Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Honcho, or Hermes Agent to use local models via netllm
After /netllm-setup or when agent is already running
User invokes /netllm-connect

Prerequisites

netllm agent running: curl -sf http://127.0.0.1:11400/health
Model ID from ./netllm models (exact string required in most editors)

Load detailed per-editor steps from references/editor-settings.md when needed.

Workflow

Quick path — when the user names a harness, run ./netllm connect <id> (or ./netllm connect <id> --json for agents). It checks agent health, prints copy-paste env wiring, optional Codex TOML or Hermes config.yaml, and suggests ./netllm sources toggle <id>. Use --toggle only when the user wants registration in config.toml; never auto-edit editor configs.
Confirm agent is up
```
curl -sf http://127.0.0.1:11400/health && echo ok
./netllm models
curl -sf http://127.0.0.1:11400/netllm/v1/harnesses
```
Pick a model ID from output; note it for the user. The last call 404s on an agent older than the harness-detection feature — that's fine, just fall back to step 3's static instructions unchanged.
Ask which editor, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, VS Code Copilot, Honcho, or Hermes Agent. If user already named one, skip.
Apply editor-specific config, follow references/editor-settings.md. Never auto-edit settings.json without explicit user consent; show copy-paste instructions instead.

If step 1's /netllm/v1/harnesses call succeeded, tailor this step with the matching entry (match by id: claude-code, codex, cursor, gemini-cli, honcho, hermes-agent; Copilot has no registry entry, use the static flow):
- "detected": true, "enabled": false (or no matching entry at all) — the CLI is on PATH but not registered as a source. After finishing the env wiring below, mention ./netllm sources toggle <id> as an optional way to give this harness its own durable routing/policy — not required for basic connectivity.
- "detected": false — surface that harness's install_hint as a copy-paste command. Never run it yourself; the user installs it, then re-runs this skill to pick up the change.
- "detected": true, "enabled": true — already registered; nothing extra to say here, proceed straight to env wiring.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
