model-provider-mgmt

model-provider-mgmt is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tallesborges/zdx. It costs 85 tokens per session (3,426 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A maintenance guide for the registry that tells developers how to add, change, or remove language models and the services that provide them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding a model or provider, changing model prices or context limits, or regenerating the default model and provider configuration.
Why use it?
It shows which Rust and configuration files to update and which checks to run, reducing missed registry changes.

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

model-provider-mgmt 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.

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.

Model & Provider Management

Covers three workflows: adding a model to an existing provider, adding a new provider from scratch, and regenerating/updating the default registry. All paths converge at just update-defaults which regenerates both default_config.toml and default_models.toml.

Quick reference

Task Rust file to edit Then run
Add model (existing provider) crates/zdx-engine/src/config.rs → default_<provider>_provider() just update-defaults
Update pricing/context only crates/zdx-assets/default_models.toml (manual edit after generation) just ci-fast
Add new provider Multiple (see below) just update-defaults && just ci-fast

Workflow 1: Add a model to an existing provider

1. Update the Rust model allow-list

Edit crates/zdx-engine/src/config.rs. Find fn default_<provider>_provider() and add the model ID to the models vec. Model IDs must match what the provider's API expects.

fn default_<provider>_provider() -> ProviderConfig {
    ProviderConfig {
        enabled: Some(true),
        models: vec![
            "<new-model-id>".to_string(),  // ← added
            "<existing-model-id>".to_string(),
            // ...
        ],
        ..Default::default()
    }
}

2. Regenerate defaults

just update-defaults

This runs update-config (regenerates crates/zdx-assets/default_config.toml from Rust defaults) then update-models (fetches pricing/capabilities from models.dev + OpenRouter fallback, writes crates/zdx-assets/default_models.toml).

3. Verify and fix the generated entry

Always inspect the generated entry. The updater pulls from models.dev and OpenRouter, which may have:

  • Stale or promotional pricing (vs official provider docs)
  • Wrong context limits (e.g. OpenRouter may report a pricing tier boundary instead of actual context window)
  • Missing capabilities (e.g. input_images defaults to false)

Check crates/zdx-assets/default_models.toml for the new [[model]] block. Correct any fields that don't match the provider's official docs. Key fields:

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.

model-provider-mgmt is a skill published in the GitHub repository tallesborges/zdx (20 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 3,426 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
