hlid

the model gate

One self-hosted endpoint across local and cloud models. Route by model name, translate only when dialects differ, observe every request, and keep backend credentials away from agents.

approach

Skaft is a small independent software workshop. Ygg, hlid, and Local are its current public projects; the software remains pre-1.0.

The design preference is explicit control: direct model connections, local configuration and session files, visible context layers, and tools people can inspect and keep.

Other prototypes stay off the install path until their source, packages, and documentation can be released together.
