Highlights

Claude Code provider: run copperhead without an OpenAI or Anthropic API key.

If you already have Claude access through your Claude Code login, copperhead can now use it as a reasoning backend. No API key, no separate billing setup:

npm install -g copperhead
copperhead do "add a second RGB LED on an RTC-capable pin" --model claude-code

Claude Code runs reasoning-only inside copperhead: it only proposes actions, and copperhead stays the sole dispatcher for every file edit, KiCad ERC/DRC check, and commit gate. All the existing safety rails (spec-gated edits, verification-gated commits, git-snapshot rollback) are unchanged. If the Agent SDK ever emits a tool call, the run fails loudly rather than letting an edit bypass those gates.

Details

  • Select it with --model claude-code, or pin a model id with --model claude-code:<model-id>.
  • Auth uses your saved Claude Code login. If you are not logged in, run claude setup-token and set CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN. copperhead never reads the credential itself.
  • A claude-code run strips any billed ANTHROPIC_API_KEY / OPENAI_API_KEY from the SDK subprocess, so it never quietly falls back to paid usage even when one is set.
  • The @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk is an optional dependency, so a normal install stays lean: only Claude Code users pull it in, and its absence surfaces an actionable install message.
  • The direct OpenAI and Anthropic providers, and the deterministic check / verify command, are unchanged.

Also in this release

  • The OpenAI provider now supports reasoning models and Gemini.
  • Supplier BOM export for JLCPCB, DigiKey, and Mouser.
  • A fab documentation-presence check added to the release gate.
