-面向多llms订阅者，部署在内网，实现一次配置多个服务共同使用的效果。支持指定模型或auto模式，按照配置的优先级选择可用模型提供服务
\ No newline at end of file
+统一 OpenAI 兼容网关：把多个上游 LLM 源（DeepSeek、OpenAI、Anthropic、Gemini、
+Groq、Mistral、Ollama、KimiCode…）通过 **Lua 适配器** 做协议转换，对内网暴露
+一个标准 `OpenAI Chat Completions` 接口（`/v1/chat/completions` + `/v1/models`），
+支持单次结算与 SSE 流式。
+
+从 [HomeAgent](https://gitcode.com/JianFeeeee/HomeAgent) 的多源 LLM 适配层
+（`internal/agent/api/provider.go` + `internal/lua/adapters/*`）抽离而来并独立演进。
+
+## 特性
+
+- **多源**：一个进程内配置任意多个上游源，按请求的 `model` 自动路由。
+- **统一输出**：所有源对外都是 OpenAI 格式（含 `reasoning_content`、`tool_calls`、`usage`）。
+- **Lua 适配协议**：每个源挂一个 `.lua` 适配器，完成 `transform_request` /
+  `transform_response` / `transform_stream_chunk` 双向转换，协议差异全在 Lua 层。
+- **签名 / 请求头钩子**：适配器可定义 `build_headers(meta)`，在 Go 发 HTTP 前
+  动态注入/签名请求头——用于云端 API 校验调用方 app（如 KimiCode 只放行特定
+  agent）。提供 `hmac_sha256_hex` / `sha256_hex` / `base64_encode` 等签名辅助。
+- **鉴权**：网关自身用 `gateway_keys` 校验客户端 Bearer key；与上游各自的 key 相互独立。
+- **流式**：SSE `chat.completion.chunk`，含角色首包与 `[DONE]` 收尾。
+
+## 快速开始
+
+```bash
+cp config.example.yaml config.yaml   # 编辑你的源与 key
+GOMODCACHE=... GOPROXY=off go build -o llmsproxy ./cmd/llmsproxy
+./llmsproxy -config config.yaml
+```
+
+```bash
+# 无 key -> 401
+curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/models
+
+# 单次
+curl -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-gw-local-0001" \
+     -d '{"model":"deepseek-v4-flash","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"hi"}]}' \
+     http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/chat/completions
+
+# 流式
+curl -N -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-gw-local-0001" \
+     -d '{"model":"deepseek-v4-flash","stream":true,"messages":[{"role":"user","content":"hi"}]}' \
+     http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/chat/completions
+```
+
+任何 OpenAI SDK 把 `base_url` 指到网关地址、`api_key` 用 `gateway_keys` 之一即可。
+
+## 配置
+
+见 [`config.example.yaml`](config.example.yaml)。核心字段：
+
+```yaml
+listen: 127.0.0.1:8080        # 网关监听地址（建议绑内网/回环）
+gateway_keys: [sk-gw-0001]    # 客户端访问网关的 key；留空=不鉴权
+default_source: deepseek      # model 无法路由时回落的源
+adapter_dir: adapters         # Lua 适配目录，首启自动写入内置适配器
+
+sources:
+  - name: deepseek
+    base_url: https://api.deepseek.com
+    api_key: sk-...
+    model: deepseek-v4-flash
+    adapter: deepseek
+    # 静态请求头（比适配器默认优先）
+    headers: { X-Tenant: prod }
+    # 传给 Lua build_headers 的透传元数据
+    meta: { app_id: x, app_secret: y }
+    temperature: 0.7
+    max_tokens: 4096
+    timeout: 120s              # 请求超时，默认 120s
+```
+
+### 模型路由
+
+`/v1/chat/completions` 的 `model` 解析顺序：
+
+1. `source/model` 或 `source:model` 前缀 → 指定源；
+2. 精确匹配某个源的 `model`；
+3. 回落到 `default_source`。
+
+任何 OpenAI 客户端，只要 `model` 设为某个源的 `name/任意名`，即可锁定走该源。
+
+## Lua 适配器协议
+
+每个适配器是一个返回 table 的 Lua 脚本（`internal/lua/adapters/<name>.lua`），
+加载时可被 `adapter_dir` 下的同名脚本覆盖。
+
+```lua
+return {
+  name = "mysrc",
+  version = "1.0.0",
+  endpoint = "/chat/completions",        -- 上游路径（可被 source.endpoint 覆盖）
+  headers = { ["X-Static"] = "v" },      -- 静态默认请求头（build_headers 缺省时使用）
+
+  -- 请求转换：把 OpenAI 格式 req 转成上游原生格式，返回字符串
+  transform_request = function(raw_json) ... end,
+
+  -- 响应转换：把上游原生响应转成统一格式字符串
+  --   { content, reasoning_content, finish_reason, token_usage{...}, tool_calls[{...}] }
+  transform_response = function(raw_json) ... end,
+
+  -- 流式分块转换：把上游 SSE data 转成 { content, done, ... }，返回 "" 则跳过
+  transform_stream_chunk = function(raw_chunk) ... end,
+
+  -- [可选] 动态请求头/签名钩子
+  -- meta = { url, method, body, api_key, timestamp, source={ name, meta={...} } }
+  build_headers = function(meta) return { ["X-App-Sign"] = sign } end,
+}
+```
+
+内置信号辅助：`hmac_sha256_hex(key, data)`、`sha256_hex(data)`、`base64_encode(s)`、
+`tohex(s)`、`json.encode/decode`、`log(level, msg)`。
+
+### 内置适配器
+
+`openai` `deepseek` `anthropic` `gemini` `github` `groq` `mistral` `ollama` `kimicode`。
+
+**kimicode** 是展示 `build_headers` 的样例：云端校验调用方 app，需要按
+`meta.app_secret` 对时间戳+URL+请求体哈希做 HMAC 签名并附 `X-App-Sign` 等头。
+配好 `sources[].meta.{app_id, app_secret, app_agent}` 即可。
