 Launch a coding agent with all of its LLM traffic routed through your LiteLLM proxy. Each supported agent is its own command, so there is nothing to remember beyond the agent's name:
 
 ```bash
-litellm-proxy claude
-litellm-proxy codex
-litellm-proxy opencode
+lite claude
+lite codex
+lite opencode

 ```bash
-litellm-proxy claude --resume
-litellm-proxy codex exec "summarize the repo"
+lite claude --resume
+lite codex exec "summarize the repo"
 ```
 
 Each command resolves your LiteLLM key (logging in via SSO when none is stored and you are at a terminal; otherwise it expects `LITELLM_PROXY_API_KEY` or `--api-key`), checks the key against the proxy so bad credentials fail immediately instead of deep inside the agent, exports the environment variables the agent reads, then replaces itself with the agent process.
