# 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`

### `routstrd remote <url>`

Configure a remote daemon URL. Generates a Nostr identity (nsec/npub) for NIP-98 authentication automatically.

```sh
routstrd remote https://your-remote-daemon.com
```

### `routstrd refresh`

Refresh routstr21 models from Nostr and re-run integrations for all registered clients.

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `port` | number | 8008 | Daemon HTTP port |
| `provider` | string\|null | null | Default provider URL |
| `daemonUrl` | string\|null | null | Remote daemon URL |
| `nsec` | string\|null | null | Nostr secret key for NIP-98 auth |
| `cocodPath` | string\|null | null | Custom path to cocod executable |
| `mode` | string | `"apikeys"` | Client mode (`apikeys` or `xcashu`) |

| Variable | Default | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| `ROUTSTRD_DIR` | `~/.routstrd` | Config directory |
| `ROUTSTRD_WALLET_DIR` | `~/.routstrd/wallet` | In-process Cashu wallet data directory |
| `ROUTSTRD_WALLET_PID` | `<wallet>/wallet.pid` | In-process wallet lock path |
| `COCOD_DIR` | `~/.cocod` | Legacy external cocod compatibility directory |

### `routstrd mode`

Interactive prompt to set the client mode:
1. **lazyrefund/apikeys** (default) — Pseudonymous accounts kept with Routstr nodes, refunded after 5 mins if unused.
2. **xcashu** (coming soon) — Balances never kept with nodes, all refunded in response.

Changing mode restarts the daemon automatically.

### `routstrd monitor`

Open an interactive TUI (htop-like) for usage monitoring.

### `routstrd logs`

View daemon logs.

| Option | Default | Description |
|--------|---------|-------------|
| `-f, --follow` | false | Follow log output (like `tail -f`) |
| `-c, --coco` | false | Show Cashu wallet-engine (coco) logs instead of daemon logs |
| `-n, --lines <number>` | 50 | Number of lines to show |

Log files are stored at `~/.routstrd/logs/YYYY-MM-DD.log`. Wallet-engine (Cashu/coco) diagnostics go to a separate `~/.routstrd/coco-logs/YYYY-MM-DD.log` so they don't pollute the main daemon logs.

| `--mint-url <url>` | Mint URL to use |

### `routstrd wallet send cashu <amount>`

## Daemon API

The daemon exposes an OpenAI-compatible HTTP API at `http://localhost:8008`:

### `GET /health`

Health check endpoint.

### `GET /v1/models`

List available models (OpenAI-compatible).

### `POST /v1/chat/completions`

Route a chat completion request.

```json
{
  "model": "model-id",
  "messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "Hello" }],
  "stream": false
}
```

## 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.
