# Groq Install & Auth

## Overview

Install the official Groq SDK and configure API key authentication. Groq provides ultra-fast LLM inference on custom LPU hardware through an OpenAI-compatible REST API at `api.groq.com/openai/v1/`.

## Prerequisites

- Node.js 18+ or Python 3.8+
- Package manager (npm, pnpm, or pip)
- Groq account at [console.groq.com](https://console.groq.com)
- API key from GroqCloud console (Settings > API Keys)

## Instructions

### Step 1: Install the SDK

```bash
set -euo pipefail
# TypeScript / JavaScript
npm install groq-sdk

# Python
pip install groq
```

### Step 2: Get Your API Key

1. Go to [console.groq.com/keys](https://console.groq.com/keys)
2. Click "Create API Key"
3. Copy the key (starts with `gsk_`)
4. Store it securely -- you cannot view it again

### Step 3: Configure Environment

```bash
# Set environment variable (recommended)
export GROQ_API_KEY="gsk_your_key_here"

# Or create .env file (add .env to .gitignore first)
echo 'GROQ_API_KEY=gsk_your_key_here' >> .env
```

### Step 4: Verify Connection (TypeScript)

```typescript
import Groq from "groq-sdk";

const groq = new Groq({
  apiKey: process.env.GROQ_API_KEY,
});

async function verify() {
  const models = await groq.models.list();
  console.log("Connected! Available models:");
  for (const model of models.data) {
    console.log(`  ${model.id} (owned by ${model.owned_by})`);
  }
}

verify().catch(console.error);
```

### Step 5: Verify Connection (Python)

```python
import os
from groq import Groq

client = Groq(api_key=os.environ.get("GROQ_API_KEY"))

models = client.models.list()
print("Connected! Available models:")
for model in models.data:
    print(f"  {model.id} (owned by {model.owned_by})")
```

## SDK Defaults

The Groq SDK auto-reads `GROQ_API_KEY` from environment if no `apiKey` is passed to the constructor. Additional constructor options:

```typescript
const groq = new Groq({
  apiKey: process.env.GROQ_API_KEY,  // Optional if env var set
  baseURL: "https://api.groq.com/openai/v1",  // Default
  maxRetries: 2,      // Default retry count
  timeout: 60_000,    // 60 second timeout (ms)
});
```

## API Key Formats

| Prefix | Type | Usage |
|--------|------|-------|
| `gsk_` | Standard API key | All API endpoints |

Groq uses a single key type. There are no separate read/write scopes -- all keys have full API access. Restrict access through organizational controls in the console.

## Error Handling

| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| `401 Invalid API Key` | Key missing, revoked, or mistyped | Verify key at console.groq.com/keys |
| `MODULE_NOT_FOUND groq-sdk` | SDK not installed | Run `npm install groq-sdk` |
| `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'groq'` | Python SDK missing | Run `pip install groq` |
| `ENOTFOUND api.groq.com` | Network/DNS issue | Check internet connectivity and firewall |

## .gitignore Template

```
# Groq secrets
.env
.env.local
.env.*.local
```

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.

Included

Invoke Alibaba Cloud Apsara Data Agent for Analytics via CLI to perform natural language-driven data analysis on enterprise databases. Data Agent for Analytics is an intelligent data analysis agent developed by Alibaba Cloud Database team for enterprise users. It automatically completes requirement analysis, data understanding, analysis insights, and report generation based on natural language descriptions. This tool supports: discovering data resources (instances/databases/tables) managed in DMS, initiating query or deep analysis sessions, real-time progress tracking, and retrieving analysis conclusions and generated reports. Use this Skill when users need to query databases, analyze data trends, generate data reports, ask questions in natural language, or mention "Data Agent", "data analysis", "database query", "SQL analysis", "data insights".

token-optimizer

Included

Reduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
