# Add Provider to ClaudeBar
Add new AI providers following established TDD patterns and architecture.
## Architecture Overview
> **Full architecture:** [docs/ARCHITECTURE.md](../../../docs/ARCHITECTURE.md)
| Component | Location | Purpose |
|-----------|----------|---------|
| `AIProvider` | `Sources/Domain/Provider/` | Rich domain model with isEnabled state |
| `UsageProbe` | `Sources/Infrastructure/CLI/` | Fetches quota from CLI/API |
| Tests | `Tests/InfrastructureTests/CLI/` | Parsing + behavior tests |
## TDD Workflow
### Phase 1: Parsing Tests (Red → Green)
Create `Tests/InfrastructureTests/CLI/{Provider}UsageProbeParsingTests.swift`:
```swift
import Testing
import Foundation
@testable import Infrastructure
@testable import Domain
@Suite
struct {Provider}UsageProbeParsingTests {
static let sampleResponse = """
{ /* sample API/CLI response */ }
"""
@Test func `parses quota into UsageQuota`() throws {
let data = Data(Self.sampleResponse.utf8)
let snapshot = try {Provider}UsageProbe.parseResponse(data, providerId: "{provider-id}")
#expect(snapshot.quotas.count > 0)
}
@Test func `maps percentage correctly`() throws { /* ... */ }
@Test func `parses reset time`() throws { /* ... */ }
@Test func `extracts account email`() throws { /* ... */ }
@Test func `handles missing data gracefully`() throws { /* ... */ }
}
```
### Phase 2: Probe Behavior Tests (Red → Green)
Create `Tests/InfrastructureTests/CLI/{Provider}UsageProbeTests.swift`:
```swift
import Testing
import Foundation
import Mockable
@testable import Infrastructure
@testable import Domain
@Suite
struct {Provider}UsageProbeTests {
@Test func `isAvailable returns false when not detected`() async {
let mockExecutor = MockCLIExecutor()
given(mockExecutor).execute(...).willReturn(CLIResult(output: "", exitCode: 1))
let probe = {Provider}UsageProbe(cliExecutor: mockExecutor)
#expect(await probe.isAvailable() == false)
}
@Test func `isAvailable returns true when detected`() async { /* ... */ }
@Test func `probe throws appropriate error when unavailable`() async { /* ... */ }
@Test func `probe returns UsageSnapshot on success`() async { /* ... */ }
}
```
### Phase 3: Implement Probe
Create `Sources/Infrastructure/CLI/{Provider}UsageProbe.swift`:
```swift
import Foundation
import Domain
public struct {Provider}UsageProbe: UsageProbe {
private let cliExecutor: any CLIExecutor
private let networkClient: any NetworkClient
private let timeout: TimeInterval
public init(
cliExecutor: (any CLIExecutor)? = nil,
networkClient: (any NetworkClient)? = nil,
timeout: TimeInterval = 8.0
) {
self.cliExecutor = cliExecutor ?? DefaultCLIExecutor()
self.networkClient = networkClient ?? URLSession.shared
self.timeout = timeout
}
public func isAvailable() async -> Bool {
// Detect if provider is available (binary exists, process running, etc.)
}
public func probe() async throws -> UsageSnapshot {
// 1. Detect/authenticate
// 2. Fetch quota data
// 3. Parse and return UsageSnapshot
}
// Static parsing for testability
static func parseResponse(_ data: Data, providerId: String) throws -> UsageSnapshot {
// Parse response into domain models
}
}
```
### Phase 4: Create Provider
**Choose Repository Type (ISP):**
- **Simple provider** (no special config) → Use base `ProviderSettingsRepository`
- **Provider with config** → Create sub-protocol extending base (see ISP section below)
Create `Sources/Domain/Provider/{Provider}Provider.swift`:
```swift
import Foundation
import Observation
@Observable
public final class {Provider}Provider: AIProvider, @unchecked Sendable {
public let id: String = "{provider-id}"
public let name: String = "{Provider Name}"
public let cliCommand: String = "{cli-command}"
public var dashboardURL: URL? { URL(string: "https://...") }
public var statusPageURL: URL? { nil }
/// Whether the provider is enabled (persisted via settingsRepository)
public var isEnabled: Bool {
didSet {
settingsRepository.setEnabled(isEnabled, forProvider: id)
}
}
public private(set) var isSyncing: Bool = false
public private(set) var snapshot: UsageSnapshot?
public private(set) var lastError: Error?
private let probe: any UsageProbe
private let settingsRepository: any ProviderSettingsRepository // Or your sub-protocol
public init(probe: any UsageProbe, settingsRepository: any ProviderSettingsRepository) {
self.probe = probe
self.settingsRepository = settingsRepository
// Default to enabled for most providers (set defaultValue: false for opt-in providers)
self.isEnabled = settingsRepository.isEnabled(forProvider: "{provider-id}")
}
public func isAvailable() async -> Bool {
await probe.isAvailable()
}
@discardableResult
public func refresh() async throws -> UsageSnapshot {
isSyncing = true
defer { isSyncing = false }
do {
let newSnapshot = try await probe.probe()
snapshot = newSnapshot
lastError = nil
return newSnapshot
} catch {
lastError = error
throw error
}
}
}
```
### Phase 5: Register Provider
Add to `Sources/App/ClaudeBarApp.swift`:
```swift
let settingsRepository = UserDefaultsProviderSettingsRepository.shared
let repository = AIProviders(providers: [
ClaudeProvider(probe: ClaudeUsageProbe(), settingsRepository: settingsRepository),
// ... existing providers
{Provider}Provider(probe: {Provider}UsageProbe(), settingsRepository: settingsRepository),
])
```
**For providers with special settings (ISP pattern):**
```swift
// ZaiProvider uses ZaiSettingsRepository (sub-protocol)
ZaiProvider(
probe: ZaiUsageProbe(settingsRepository: settingsRepository),
settingsRepository: settingsRepository // Same instance, casted to ZaiSettingsRepository
)
// CopilotProvider uses CopilotSettingsRepository (sub-protocol with credentials)
CopilotProvider(
probe: CopilotUsageProbe(settingsRepository: settingsRepository),
settingsRepository: settingsRepository // Same instance, casted to CopilotSettingsRepository
)
```
Add visual identity in `Sources/App/Views/Theme.swift`:
```swift
// In AppTheme.providerColor(for:scheme:)
case "{provider-id}": return /* your color */
// In AppTheme.providerName(for:)
case "{provider-id}": return "{Provider Name}"
// In AppTheme.providerSymbolIcon(for:)
case "{provider-id}": return "/* SF Symbol name */"
// In AppTheme.providerIconAssetName(for:)
case "{provider-id}": return "{Provider}Icon"
```
## Domain Model Mapping
Map provider responses to existing domain models:
| Source Data | Domain Model |
|-------------|--------------|
| Quota percentage | `UsageQuota.percentRemaining` (0-100) |
| Model/tier name | `QuotaType.modelSpecific("name")` |
| Reset time | `UsageQuota.resetsAt` (Date) |
| Account email | `UsageSnapshot.accountEmail` |
## Error Handling
Use existing `ProbeError` enum:
```swift
ProbeError.cliNotFound("{Provider}") // Binary/process not found
ProbeError.authenticationRequired // Auth token missing/expired
ProbeError.executionFailed("message") // Runtime errors
ProbeError.parseFailed("message") // Parse errors
```
## ISP: Creating Provider-Specific Repository Sub-Protocols
If your provider needs special configuration or credentials, create a sub-protocol following ISP:
### Step 1: Define Sub-Protocol in Domain
Add to `Sources/Domain/Provider/ProviderSettingsRepository.swift`:
```swift
/// {Provider}-specific settings repository, extending base ProviderSettingsRepository.
public protocol {Provider}SettingsRepository: ProviderSettingsRepository {
// Configuration
func {provider}ConfigPath() -> String
func set{Provider}ConfigPath(_ path: String)
// Credentials (if needed)
func save{Provider}Token(_ token: String)
func get{Provider}Token() -> String?
func has{Provider}Token() -> Bool
}
```
### Step 2: Implement in Infrastructure
Add to `Sources/Infrastructure/Storage/UserDefaultsProviderSettingsRepository.swift`:
```swift
extension UserDefaultsProviderSettingsRepository: {Provider}SettingsRepository {
public func {provider}ConfigPath() -> String {
userDefaults.string(forKey: Keys.{provider}ConfigPath) ?? ""
}
// ... other methods
}
```
### Step 3: Update Provider and Probe
```swift
// Provider
private let settingsRepository: any {Provider}SettingsRepository
// Probe (if needs settings)
public init(settingsRepository: any {Provider}SettingsRepository) {
self.settingsRepository = settingsRepository
}
```
**Existing Examples:**
- `ZaiSettingsRepository` - config path + env var
- `CopilotSettingsRepository` - env var + GitHub credentials
## Reference Implementation
