SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a comprehensive architecture pattern and decision framework for designing and building clients that interact with a hosted backend offering a free intro tier and BYOK (bring-your-own-key) functionality. It addresses the challenges of tiered key resolution, privacy vs. sync trade-offs, and a client integration checklist.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Tiered Key Resolution: Defines a precedence for key resolution between BYOK, free-tier hosted keys, and server keys.
  • Privacy vs. Sync Trade-off: Assists in deciding between local-only privacy and cross-device sync options.
  • Client Integration Checklist: Offers a checklist for integrating the client with the backend, ensuring proper authentication, support for non-BYOK users, and handling metering and limits.

Quick Start

Use the byok-tiered-client skill to design a secure client architecture for your app with a free tier and BYOK support.

FAQPage Schema
How do I design a client architecture for a backend with a free tier and BYOK support?▼

To design a client architecture for a free tier and BYOK backend, you need a tiered key resolution strategy that defines precedence between user-supplied keys and hosted server keys, plus a framework for handling privacy and sync trade-offs.

What is tiered key resolution in BYOK client architectures?▼

Tiered key resolution in BYOK client architectures defines a strict precedence for selecting which API key to use, systematically prioritizing bring-your-own-keys over free-tier hosted keys and default server keys during backend integration.

How do I balance local privacy versus cross-device sync for BYOK clients?▼

Balancing local privacy and cross-device sync for BYOK clients requires evaluating trade-offs between keeping user keys and data strictly local versus enabling account synchronization, which necessitates backend support for secure state management.

What should be included in a BYOK client backend integration checklist?▼

A BYOK client backend integration checklist must include handling user authentication, supporting non-BYOK users on the free tier, managing metering and limits, and verifying backend support for key resolution precedence and account synchronization.

Does my backend need specific features to support a BYOK free-tier client?▼

Yes, supporting a BYOK free-tier client requires your backend to explicitly support key resolution precedence and account synchronization to properly manage the transition between hosted keys and user-supplied keys.

When should I avoid implementing a tiered BYOK client architecture?▼

You should avoid implementing a tiered BYOK client architecture if your backend lacks support for key resolution precedence and account synchronization, as these are required to handle privacy and sync trade-offs effectively.
