Set up with your coding agent

Copy this into your coding agent inside the project you want to connect.

Set up Tabslip for this project.
Use https://github.com/vincentsch/tabslip: read its AGENTS.md and follow
the steps. Route this project's AI API calls through it, make one real call,
and show me the receipt.

Your provider and keys stay the same. The agent makes one call that may cost money, then shows you the receipt. What the agent changes

For setup steps, see Set up with an agent. For containers and servers, see Upstreams.
