Groq Multi Env Setup

What it does

When your agent uses it

• You need Groq to behave differently across dev
• Production — cheap fast models and verbose logs in dev
• The production model and hardened retries everywhere else
• With per-environment API keys

Example prompts

• “groq environments”
• “groq staging”
• “groq dev prod”
• “/groq-multi-env-setup”

Requirements

• Node.js
• Docker
• A credential in GROQ_API_KEY
• Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash(aws:*), Bash(gcloud:*), Bash(vault:*)

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Build the config module (config/groq.ts). One configs record keyed by
2. 2Wire an environment-aware service (services/groq-service.ts) that reads
3. 3Source secrets per platform. Dev reads a git-ignored .env.local; staging
4. 4Deploy with Docker Compose profiles so each environment injects its own
5. 5Verify each environment with scripts/verify-groq-env.ts, which prints the
6. 6Inspect rate limits per key via the x-ratelimit-* response headers — see

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

  • Read
  • Write
  • Edit
  • Bash(aws:*)
  • Bash(gcloud:*)
  • Bash(vault:*)

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • npx
  • npm

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • console.groq.com

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

  • GROQ_API_KEY

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

• Compatibility

  Designed for Claude Code

  From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Groq Multi Env Setup loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 114 tokens; SKILL.md has 541 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~114

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.7k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~3.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description

Use when you need Groq to behave differently across dev, staging, and production — cheap fast models and verbose logs in dev, the production model and hardened retries everywhere else, with per-environment API keys. Configure environment-specific model selection, rate limits, and secrets. Trigger with phrases like "groq environments", "groq staging", "groq dev prod", "groq environment setup", "groq multi-env", "groq config by env".
