Date: January 29, 2026 Status: ✅ Complete and Tested
Successfully implemented CLI commands for authentication strategy management, providing a user-friendly interface for configuring and managing intelligent routing between Claude subscriptions and Anthropic API.
Features:
- Four main commands:
setup,status,reset,recommend - Rich terminal output with tables and panels (with plain text fallback)
- JSON output option for programmatic use
- Comprehensive error handling and user-friendly messages
Commands Implemented:
python -m empathy_os.models.auth_cli setup- Runs
configure_auth_interactive()function - Guides user through subscription tier selection
- Shows educational pros/cons comparison
- Saves configuration to
~/.empathy/auth_strategy.json
python -m empathy_os.models.auth_cli status
python -m empathy_os.models.auth_cli status --json- Displays current authentication strategy
- Shows subscription tier, default mode, and setup status
- Displays module size thresholds and routing rules
- Supports JSON output for scripting
Example Output:
╭────────────────────────── Authentication Strategy ───────────────────────────╮
│ Subscription Tier: MAX │
│ Default Mode: AUTO │
│ Setup Completed: ✅ Yes │
╰──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
Module Size Thresholds

┃ Category ┃ Size (LOC) ┃ Recommended Auth ┃
┡━━━━━━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┩
│ Small │ < 500 │ Subscription │
│ Medium │ 500 - 2000 │ Subscription │
│ Large │ > 2000 │ API (1M context) │
└──────────┴────────────┴──────────────────┘
python -m empathy_os.models.auth_cli reset --confirm- Deletes authentication strategy configuration
- Requires
--confirmflag for safety - Shows warning message if confirmation missing
python -m empathy_os.models.auth_cli recommend src/my_module.py- Analyzes a specific Python file
- Counts lines of code
- Determines size category (small/medium/large)
- Recommends optimal authentication mode
- Estimates cost for documentation generation
Example Output:
╭────────────────────────────── Module Analysis ───────────────────────────────╮
│ File: src/empathy_os/cache_stats.py │
│ Lines of Code: 235 │
│ Size Category: SMALL │

╭─────────────────────────────── Recommendation ───────────────────────────────╮
│ Recommended: SUBSCRIPTION mode │

- Added
AUTH_STRATEGY_FILEconstant (exported for CLI use) - Updated
save()andload()methods to use constant instead of hardcoded paths - No breaking changes to existing API
- Exported
AUTH_STRATEGY_FILEfor public use - Added to
__all__list for proper module exports
- Added CLI Commands section to Quick Start
- Updated First-Time Setup to recommend CLI option
- Fixed markdown linting issues (proper headings, blank lines)
$ python -m empathy_os.models.auth_cli --helpResult: Displays comprehensive help with all commands and examples
$ python -m empathy_os.models.auth_cli statusResult: Shows formatted configuration with Rich panels and tables
$ python -m empathy_os.models.auth_cli status --jsonResult: Returns valid JSON with all configuration fields
$ python -m empathy_os.models.auth_cli recommend src/empathy_os/cache_stats.pyResult: Correctly analyzes file (235 LOC, small category, subscription mode)
$ python -m empathy_os.models.auth_cli resetResult: Shows warning and requires --confirm flag (exit code 1)

src/empathy_os/models/auth_strategy.py- Added
AUTH_STRATEGY_FILEconstant - Updated save/load methods to use constant
- Added
-
✅
src/empathy_os/models/__init__.py- Exported
AUTH_STRATEGY_FILE - Added to
__all__list

- Updated Quick Start with CLI option
- Fixed markdown linting issues
# 1. Run interactive setup
python -m empathy_os.models.auth_cli setup
# 2. Verify configuration
python -m empathy_os.models.auth_cli status
# 3. Test recommendation on your codebase
python -m empathy_os.models.auth_cli recommend src/your_module.pyfrom empathy_os.workflows.document_gen import DocumentGenerationWorkflow
from empathy_os.models import get_auth_strategy
# Load strategy (first-time setup if needed)
strategy = get_auth_strategy()
# Generate documentation (uses auth strategy automatically)
workflow = DocumentGenerationWorkflow(enable_auth_strategy=True)
result = await workflow.execute(
source_code=source_code,
target="src/my_module.py",
doc_type="api_reference",
)
# Check which auth mode was recommended
print(f"Auth mode: {result.final_output['auth_mode_used']}")from empathy_os.models import AuthStrategy, AUTH_STRATEGY_FILE
# Check if configuration exists
if AUTH_STRATEGY_FILE.exists():
strategy = AuthStrategy.load()
print(f"Configured for {strategy.subscription_tier.value} tier")
else:
print("No configuration found - run CLI setup")✅ Easy configuration - CLI provides user-friendly interface ✅ Visual feedback - Rich terminal output with tables and panels ✅ File analysis - Get recommendations for specific files ✅ Programmatic access - JSON output for scripting ✅ Safety features - Confirmation required for destructive operations
✅ Modular design - Clean separation of CLI and core logic ✅ Reusable - CLI wraps existing auth_strategy functions ✅ Well-documented - Comprehensive help text and examples ✅ Tested - All commands verified working ✅ Extensible - Easy to add new commands
- Add
empathy authsubcommand to main CLI router - Shorter command:
empathy auth setupinstead ofpython -m empathy_os.models.auth_cli setup
empathy auth validate # Validate current configuration
empathy auth optimize # Suggest threshold adjustments based on usage
empathy auth stats # Show auth mode usage statisticsStatus: ✅ Phase 3 Complete
The CLI commands provide a complete, user-friendly interface for authentication strategy management:
- Interactive setup with educational comparison
- Real-time status display with Rich formatting
- File-specific recommendations with cost estimates
- Safe reset with confirmation requirement
All commands tested and working. Documentation updated. Ready for production use.
