API Key Path

Use this path if you already have a provider API key and want a direct, reproducible setup. Start with one provider only. Do not try to configure the whole matrix on first run.

What you need

• Omegon installed
• One valid inference API key such as Anthropic, OpenAI, or OpenRouter
• A shell where you can export an environment variable

Steps

1. Export one key, for example export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
2. cd into your project and run omegon
3. Optional: run /status to confirm the provider is visible
4. Send this prompt: Read README.md and tell me the next high-value task in this repo.

Success signal

• No auth error appears at startup
• The response references the actual repository
• The agent makes at least one tool call

If it fails

• Check that you exported the right environment variable for the provider
• Run /status or /auth status to confirm Omegon sees the credential
• If setup works only after extra undocumented steps, file a Docs confusion or Setup problem issue
