+# pool-anything — Instructions
+
+Gather free-tier API keys into one pool. Rotate through them automatically via round-robin + drop-in HTTP proxy.
+
+## 0. Agent operating notes
+
+See `AGENTS.md` — it is the single source of truth for standing instructions (landing page deploys, GitHub auth, browser autonomy). Follow it before anything below.
+
+## 1. Prerequisites
+
+- Node.js >= 22.5 (uses built-in `node:sqlite`, no DB to install)
+- A provider API key (e.g. Groq `gsk_…`, OpenRouter `sk-or-v1-…`, Gemini key)
+- Optional: `curl` for API testing
+
+## 2. Install
+
+### Option A — Global (recommended)
+
+```bash
+npm install -g pool-anything
+pool-anything
+```
+
+Data lives in `~/.pool-anything/pool-anything.db` so it works from any directory and survives upgrades.
+
+### Option B — From source
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/Parithosh-Varma/pool-anything.git
+cd pool-anything
+npm install
+npm run dev        # watch mode, http://localhost:3000
+npm run db:init    # init local SQLite (data/pool-anything.db)
+```
+
+| Script | Purpose |
+| --- | --- |
+| `npm run dev` | Watch mode server on `:3000` |
+| `npm run build` + `npm run start:dist` | Compile to `dist/` and run it |
+| `npm run typecheck` | `tsc --noEmit` (must pass) |
+| `npm test` | `tsx --test "tests/**/*.test.ts"` |
+
+## 3. Start the server
+
+```bash
+pool-anything serve --port 4000 --open   # web UI + API on :4000, open browser
+pool-anything --help                     # all flags
+PORT=4000 pool-anything serve            # env-var equivalent
+```
+
+Flags: `-p/--port`, `-H/--host` (default `127.0.0.1`), `--db <path>`, `--data-dir <dir>`, `--open`.
+
+Running bare `pool-anything` (TTY) opens the interactive assistant shell instead of the server.
+
+## 4. Create a pool + add keys
+
+### Web UI (easiest)
+
+1. Open `http://localhost:3000`, search provider (try `groq`).
+2. Paste one or more keys, hit **Gather**.
+3. Pool is live. Manage at `/pools`, `/keys`, test at `/playground`, monitor at `/analytics`.
+
+Routes: `/` (search + dashboard), `/provider/:id`, `/pools`, `/keys`, `/playground`, `/analytics`.
+
+### Assistant shell
+
+No subcommands — plain language:
+
+| Say | Does |
+| --- | --- |
+| `list pools` / `list providers` | Show pools / 36 preconfigured providers |
+| `create pool Prod Groq for groq` | New pool for provider `groq` |
+| `add 5 keys to groq` | Paste keys, one per line, blank line finishes |
+| `show usage for groq` | Tokens, quota, per-key breakdown |
+| `next for groq` / `consume 100 on groq` | Rotate / record usage |
+| `watch groq` | Live usage, 2s refresh (`q` exits) |
+| `serve` | Start web UI + API from inside shell |
+| `exit` | Quit |
+
+One-shot (no shell):
+
+```bash
+pool-anything "list pools"
+pool-anything -e "add keys to groq"
+echo "gsk_abc" | pool-anything -e "add keys to groq"
+```
+
+Keys always print masked (`gsk_…ab`).
+
+### REST API
+
+```bash
+# Create pool for groq
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/pools \
+  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"provider":"groq","name":"Prod Groq"}'   # -> {"id":1,...}
+
+# Add a key to pool 1
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/pools/1/keys \
+  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"label":"key 1","api_key":"gsk_abc"}'
+
+# Rotate (masked) / record usage / usage rollup
+curl http://localhost:3000/api/pools/1/next
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/pools/1/consume \
+  -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"tokens":100}'
+curl http://localhost:3000/api/pools/1/usage
+```
+
+## 5. Proxy requests through the pool
+
+Point your client at pool-anything; it injects the key + auth header, forwards to the provider `baseUrl`, records usage.
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/pools/1/proxy \
+  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"path":"/chat/completions","method":"POST",
+       "body":{"model":"llama-3.3-70b","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"hi"}]},
+       "tokens":25}'
+```
+
+Body fields: `path` (appended to provider `baseUrl`), `method` (default `POST`), `body` (forwarded as-is), `headers` (extra, override defaults), `tokens` (usage to record).
+
+Response reports who served it:
+
+```json
+{"key_id":3,"label":"key 1","masked":"gsk_…ab","status":200,"body":"{ …first 4000 chars… }"}
+```
+
+Flow: `nextKeyRaw()` round-robin (`cursor % keys.length`) → inject key → forward → record per-key usage in SQLite. Recent attempts: `GET /api/pools/:id/calls?limit=50`.
+
+## 6. Configuration
+
+Copy `.env.example` to `.env`. All optional.
+
+| Variable | Default | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `HOST` | `127.0.0.1` | Bind interface (keep loopback unless behind auth) |
+| `PORT` | `3000` | Server port |
+| `POOL_API_TOKEN` | _(unset)_ | Bearer gate for raw-key reads, writes, rotation, proxy. Send `Authorization: Bearer <token>` |
+| `ALLOWED_ORIGINS` | Pages hosts | CORS allowlist (localhost always allowed) |
+| `LOCAL_DB_PATH` / `--db` | `data/pool-anything.db` or `~/.pool-anything/*.db` | Exact SQLite file |
+| `POOL_DATA_DIR` / `--data-dir` | _(unset)_ | Dir holding `pool-anything.db` |
+| `PROXY_TIMEOUT_MS` | `30000` | Upstream timeout per attempt |
+| `POOL_DEBUG` | _(unset)_ | `1` = proxy trace to stderr (no bodies/keys) |
+| `ALLOW_PRIVATE_UPSTREAM` | _(unset)_ | `1` = disable SSRF guard. Tests/loopback only |
+
+Providers: `data/providers.json` (36 preconfigured: Groq, OpenRouter, Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, …). Add one with a single JSON entry — see `CONTRIBUTING.md#adding-a-provider`. `keyHeader` can be a header, `query:<param>`, or custom header; `keyPrefix` handles `Bearer `/`Token ` schemes.
+
+## 7. Security
+
+- DB file (`data/pool-anything.db`) is git-ignored — never commit it.
+- List endpoints return masked keys only; raw key only from `GET /api/pools/:id/keys/:keyId`.
+- Default bind is loopback with no auth. If you bind non-loopback or expose publicly, set `POOL_API_TOKEN` and keep it behind your own auth layer.
+
+## 8. Troubleshooting
+
+| Symptom | Fix |
+| --- | --- |
+| `Unknown option` / CLI confusion | `pool-anything --help`; server needs `serve` or a server flag (`-p`, `--db`, `--open`) |
+| DB locked / wrong DB | Check `--db` / `LOCAL_DB_PATH` / `--data-dir`; global uses `~/.pool-anything/` |
+| Proxy 4xx/5xx | Check `GET /api/pools/:id/calls` for upstream status/body; verify key + `path` + provider `baseUrl` |
+| CORS blocked (Pages UI) | Set `ALLOWED_ORIGINS` to include your UI origin |
+| Ink shell won't start | Falls back to plain REPL automatically; pipe mode uses `-e` |
+| Type/test failure | `npm run typecheck`, `npm test`, Node >= 22.5 |
+
+Health checks: `GET /health` → `ok`, `GET /api/db/ping` → `{ok:true}`, `GET /api/analytics` → totals + 7-day deltas + 14-day series.
