What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you connect Ollama to third-party coding agents so you can run Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, and similar tools against Ollama-hosted local or cloud models without fighting setup friction, auth issues, or launch confusion.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Supported Launch Targets: Covers multiple integrations such as Claude Code, Codex, Cline, Copilot, Droid, Hermes, Kimi, OpenCode, OpenClaw, Pi, and VS Code.
• Cloud Model Setup: Explains how to install Ollama, start the server, pull models, and authenticate for cloud-backed models.
• Proxy-Based Fallback: Shows how to use LiteLLM as a bridge when direct launch is unavailable or when you need custom routing and model fallback.
• Troubleshooting Guidance: Documents common failures such as missing dependencies, sign-in errors, stale model settings, and proxy caching problems.
• Use Case: A developer wants to run Claude Code on a cloud Ollama model inside a container and needs a reliable path for authentication, model selection, and proxy configuration.

Quick Start

Ask for a step-by-step Ollama launch setup for Claude Code using a cloud model, including installation, browser authentication, launch verification, and proxy fallback if needed.
