# routstrd CLI Reference

Routstr daemon — a Bun-based CLI tool that runs a background HTTP server for the Routstr protocol. It integrates with `cocod` for Cashu wallet management and routes LLM requests to available providers.

## Quick Start

```sh
routstrd onboard          # Initialize (creates config, sets up cocod)
routstrd start            # Start the daemon
routstrd stop             # Stop the daemon
```

After onboarding, the daemon listens at `http://localhost:8008` and exposes an OpenAI-compatible API.

## Commands

### `routstrd onboard`

Initialize routstrd for the first time:
- Creates `~/.routstrd/` config directory
- Creates `~/.routstrd/config.json` with defaults (port 8008, apikeys mode)
- Installs `cocod` globally via bun if not present
- Runs `cocod init` to set up the wallet
- Starts the daemon and configures integrations

### `routstrd start`

## Configuration

Config file: `~/.routstrd/config.json`

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `port` | number | 8008 | Daemon HTTP port |
| `provider` | string\|null | null | Default provider URL |
| `cocodPath` | string\|null | null | Custom path to cocod executable |
| `mode` | string | `"apikeys"` | Client mode (`apikeys` or `xcashu`) |

### Environment Variables

| Variable | Default | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| `ROUTSTRD_DIR` | `~/.routstrd` | Config directory |
| `ROUTSTRD_SOCKET` | `~/.routstrd/routstrd.sock` | IPC socket path |
| `ROUTSTRD_PID` | `~/.routstrd/routstrd.pid` | PID file path |

## Remote Mode

When `daemonUrl` is configured, commands connect to a remote daemon instead of a local one:
- Client names are suffixed with the last 7 chars of your npub
- All requests are automatically NIP-98 signed using your local nsec
- Local-only commands (`onboard`, `start`, `restart`, `mode`, `logs`, `service`) are disabled

## Pi Integration

When `routstrd onboard` runs, it automatically configures a `routstr` provider in `pi`'s `models.json` with an OpenAI-compatible base URL and API key. This allows pi (the AI coding agent) to use Routstr providers seamlessly.
