 "page_title": "How to connect paid provider keys for agent runs with OpenFlow",
 "summary": "Add provider API keys in the titlebar so paid models can run pipeline nodes.",
 "who": "A team lead who has provider accounts and needs paid models for larger pipeline runs than the free tier allows.",
 "problem": "Paid models will not run until a key is connected, and keys already held by the opencode CLI are not visible to the server until imported.",
 "outcome": "Paid models available to nodes, with keys taking effect without a server restart.",
 "steps": [
  "Start OpenFlow with `FLOW_MANAGE_SERVER=1 bun openflow.ts` and open http://localhost:5174.",
  "Click \"api keys\" in the titlebar, pick a provider, and paste its key in the two-step connect dialog.",
  "If keys already exist in the opencode CLI, run `opencode providers login` and import them from the same panel, because the server does not read auth.json for its model catalog otherwise.",
  "Use the test button beside a paid model on a node to confirm it answers before a full run."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the OpenFlow repo at https://github.com/SeeRay11/OpenFlow, start the canvas, connect a provider key through the \"api keys\" panel, and assign one paid model to a node in a planner, architect and coder pipeline. Test the model with the test button and report the provider used. Verify that the model appears as available to the node without restarting the server.",
