# RFC: Make the shared example base providerless
|
|
|
|
Status: proposed
|
|
|
|
## Problem
|
|
|
|
The examples have two shared base files: `examples/base-core.yml` is providerless, while `examples/base.yml` includes that core plus the real `llm-deepseek` adapter. Snapshot replay needs the providerless core with `llm-replay`, because loading the real adapter without a key throws. The normal demos need the real adapter. The result is a naming inversion: the file named `base.yml` is not the reusable base for all examples, while the true base is `base-core.yml`.
|
|
|
|
The split is understandable, but it makes every config explanation longer. It also leads to awkward test setup like a keyless smoke test carrying a dummy API key so an adapter can boot even though the model is not called.
|
|
|
|
## Proposal
|
|
|
|
Rename the providerless core to `examples/base.yml` and make adapter selection explicit in each concrete example. The coding and ACP real configs add a tiny `llm-deepseek` include or local block; snapshot config adds `llm-replay`. Delete `base-core.yml`.
|
|
|
|
The shared base should contain only provider-neutral services and tools: `llm`, sessions, system prompt, tools, agents, invariants, bash executor, and bash tool schemas. Anything that chooses a model provider belongs at the leaf config.
|
|
|
|
## Acceptance criteria
|
|
|
|
- `examples/base.yml` is providerless.
|
|
- `examples/base-core.yml` is deleted.
|
|
- Real demo configs explicitly add the DeepSeek adapter.
|
|
- Snapshot replay config includes the same providerless base and its replay adapter.
|
|
- README and RFC references stop explaining "base = base-core plus adapter".
|
|
|
|
## What we give up
|
|
|
|
Real demos lose one layer of convenience: each must opt into the adapter. That is the right default for examples, because adapter choice is the variable part and providerless wiring is the shared product core.
