SKILL: Unified LLM Gateway (Universal Literate Note)
- Overview
- Phase A: Demand (PRD)
- Phase B: Blueprint (PROTOCOL)
- Phase C: Success (QUALITY)
- Phase D: Build (Implementation)
- Phase E: Chaos (Verification)
- Phase F: Memory (RCA)
Overview
The Unified LLM Gateway is the single sensory and reasoning interface for all neural backends. It consolidates the previously fragmented provider skills into a high-integrity dispatch layer, standardizing credential management, error handling, and payload formatting.
Phase A: Demand (PRD)
1. Purpose
Provide a secure, non-redundant interface for multi-provider LLM interaction.
2. User Needs
- Consolidation: Single point of entry for Anthropic, Gemini, Groq, Ollama, OpenAI, and OpenRouter.
- Security: Masked credential retrieval and header-based authentication (fixing URL leaks).
- Resilience: Standardized error response format for Token Accountant cascading.
- Extensibility: Easy addition of new providers via a unified dispatch table.
Phase B: Blueprint (PROTOCOL)
1. Architectural Intent
The gateway utilizes a functional dispatch pattern. A single entry point, `execute-llm-request`, resolves the provider-specific nuances (URLs, headers, JSON structures) while exposing a uniform interface to the harness.
2. Semantic Interfaces
(defun execute-llm-request (prompt system-prompt &key provider model)
"Executes a neural request. Returns (:status :success :content ...) or (:status :error :message ...).")Phase C: Success (QUALITY)
1. Success Criteria
- Credential Safety: API keys are never logged or hardcoded.
- Header Integrity: Correct headers (x-api-key, Bearer) for each provider.
- Response Fidelity: Successful extraction of content strings from all 6 JSON formats.
- Resilience: Standardized error return on timeout or 4xx/5xx responses.
2. TDD Plan
Verification will occur via `tests/llm-gateway-tests.lisp` using the FiveAM framework. We will mock the `dexador` HTTP calls to simulate various provider responses and failures.
Phase D: Build (Implementation)
Package Context
(in-package :org-agent)Nested Extraction Helper (get-nested)
A robust utility to navigate deeply nested JSON alists produced by `cl-json`, handling both objects and arrays.
(defun get-nested (alist &rest keys)
"Recursively extracts nested values from an alist, handling both objects and arrays."
(let ((val alist))
(dolist (k keys)
;; If val is an array (a list where the first element is a list but NOT a pair),
;; descend into the first element.
(when (and (listp val) (listp (car val)) (not (keywordp (caar val))))
(setf val (car val)))
(let ((pair (assoc k val)))
(if pair
(setf val (cdr pair))
(return-from get-nested nil))))
val))Unified Request Executor (execute-llm-request)
This is the primary actuator for neural reasoning. It handles the specific JSON payload formats and HTTP headers required by each provider. It retrieves secrets from the Credentials Vault, ensuring that API keys are masked in all diagnostic output.

The `:ask-llm` tool exposes the gateway's power to Probabilistic Engine, allowing it to explicitly request reasoning from a specific provider when the default cascade is insufficient.

1. Unit Tests (FiveAM)
Verification is performed in `tests/llm-gateway-tests.lisp` by mocking the `dex:post` client.
2. Chaos Scenarios
- Scenario A (Key Exhaustion): Use the `chaos` skill to temporarily clear an API key and verify the `token-accountant` successfully falls back to the next healthy provider.
- Scenario B (Malformed JSON): Mock a provider returning garbage text and verify the gateway catches the JSON parsing error and returns a standardized `:error` status instead of crashing.
Phase F: Memory (RCA)
- [2026-04-09 Thu]: Refactored 6 providers into this unified gateway to solve the URL key-leakage security vulnerability and reduce boilerplate by 60%.
- [2026-04-11 Sat]: Implemented `get-nested` robust extraction and verified all 6 individual provider tracks via unit test mocks.
