u/Substantial_Load_690

I built Trooper after hitting Claude's free tier limit mid-conversation one too many times.

It's a lightweight Go proxy that sits between your app and any LLM API (Claude, GPT, Groq, Mistral). When the primary provider hits a quota or rate limit, it automatically reroutes to a local Ollama model — full conversation context intact. Zero code changes in your app, just point your base URL at localhost:3000.

What it does:

• Works with any LLM provider, not just Claude
• Preserves full conversation history across the switch
• Streaming support
• Configurable fallback trigger codes (429, 402, 529, 400 by default)
• 401 errors surface properly — bad keys are never masked
• Single Go binary, Docker support

Tested this morning — mid-conversation context preserved perfectly across the switch. Built in an evening.
