droid-model-setup

droid-model-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nikships/droidproxy. It costs 166 tokens per session (2,055 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup skill for adding third-party language models to Factory Droid, a coding-agent tool, through compatible provider endpoints. It configures the model settings and checks that Droid can actually use them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure OpenAI-compatible or most Anthropic-compatible models in Droid, reuse an existing provider key, set session defaults, and verify the connection with a live run.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of finding model limits, entering provider details safely, choosing reasoning settings, and checking whether the configuration sends the right requests.

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

droid-model-setup scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/droid_models.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Droid model setup

Turns any OpenAI-compatible (and most Anthropic-compatible) endpoint into a first-class Droid model. Covers spec lookup, safe writes to ~/.factory/settings.json, session-default effort wiring, and empirical verification. Knowledge below was verified Aug 2026 against the real binary by capturing Droid's outgoing request bodies.

Workflow for "set X, Y, Z models up for a Droid"

  1. Resolve specs per model (ask only what cannot be looked up; be agentic otherwise).
    • OpenRouter-hosted model: fetch https://openrouter.ai/<vendor>/<slug> — gives context window, max completion tokens, supported reasoning efforts, pricing.
    • Other providers: check their docs/API reference for context length and output cap.
    • Note whether thinking/reasoning can be toggled and via which parameter.
  2. Determine endpoint + credentials.
    • Same provider already registered in settings? Reuse its key with the script's --reuse-key-from <existing-model-id> (reads the real stored bytes; the asterisks you see in file reads are display-only redaction, and Python sees through them).
    • New provider: ask the user for the base URL and API key if genuinely unknown. Defaults: OpenRouter https://openrouter.ai/api/v1, LM Studio http://127.0.0.1:1234/v1, llama.cpp/vLLM/Ollama-OpenAI http://127.0.0.1:<port>/v1.
    • Provider field: generic-chat-completion-api covers every OpenAI-compatible endpoint tested (OpenRouter, W&B, LM Studio, MTPLX). openai also works for OpenAI-compat APIs.
  3. Write entries with the helper script (never hand-edit settings.json — see gotchas). Model id in settings becomes the CLI-facing name: -m custom:<id>.
  4. Set session defaults if the user wants one of them as the daily driver (set-defaults subcommand sets model + matching reasoningEffort together).
  5. Verify live, then report exactly what was configured and proven.

Hard rules

Never text-edit ~/.factory/settings.json. Existing apiKey values render as runs of asterisks inside the agent's file viewer; a string-replacement edit that touches those lines writes literal asterisks to disk and destroys real keys. Use scripts/droid_models.py, which mutates parsed JSON (untouched values stay byte-identical), backs the file up first, and afterward diffs every pre-existing key — restoring automatically and failing loudly if anything changed. If you must edit manually anyway (new top-level keys etc.), anchor edits far away from apiKey lines, then diff {id: len(apiKey)} old-vs-new via Python before declaring success.

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.

droid-model-setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository nikships/droidproxy (124 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 166 tokens to every session and 2,055 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
