Findings at a Glance
SummaryThis PR adds a new documentation guide (in English and Chinese) explaining how to configure Claude Code to use the BANK OF AI API as a proxy provider. It also adds sidebar navigation entries for the new guide and introduces extra blank lines into three existing Markdown files. The guide is well-structured and covers key user flows (installation, configuration via Change Summary1. New EN Configuration Guide

Description
The guide instructs users to "Locate the
settings.jsonfile in the Claude Code installation directory." Claude Code's user-editable settings file is located at~/.claude/settings.json(the user's home directory), not inside the application installation directory. Pointing users to the wrong location will cause them to either edit a wrong file that has no effect, or create a settings file that is silently ignored. This is the most impactful correctness bug in the guide.
Code
1. Locate the `settings.json` file in the Claude Code installation directory.
If it does not exist, create a new one.Recommendation
1. Open (or create) the Claude Code user settings file at:
- **macOS / Linux / WSL:** `~/.claude/settings.json`
- **Windows:** `%APPDATA%\Claude\settings.json`
You can also open it directly from inside Claude Code by running `/config`.[MJ-02] ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN Used Without Explanation — May Conflict With Standard ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Severity | Major |
| Category | Correctness / Documentation |
| File | docs/llmservice/Claude-Code/claudecode-bankofai-api-configuration-guide.md : Lines 63–70 (EN); same section ZH |
Description
The guide uses
ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKENas the credential environment variable throughout, but Claude Code's documented standard variable isANTHROPIC_API_KEY.ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKENis used internally for session/OAuth tokens and may have different precedence and parsing behaviour thanANTHROPIC_API_KEY. If a user already hasANTHROPIC_API_KEYset globally, the interaction between the two variables is undefined and could lead to authentication failures. The guide provides no explanation for why this non-standard variable is used, which will confuse experienced users and make debugging harder.
Code
{
"env": {
"ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "Your-BANK-OF-AI-API-Key",
"ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://api.bankofai.io/",
...
}
}Recommendation
Add a note explaining why `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` is chosen over `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` for BANK OF AI's proxy endpoint, e.g.:
> **Note:** BANK OF AI's proxy endpoint uses token-based authentication. Use
> `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` (not `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`) to pass your BANK OF AI
> API key. If you have `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` set in your environment from a
> previous Anthropic direct-access configuration, unset it first to avoid
> conflicts:
> ```bash
> unset ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Severity | Major |
| Category | Correctness / Documentation |
| File | docs/llmservice/Claude-Code/claudecode-bankofai-api-configuration-guide.md : Lines 199–214 (EN); equivalent section ZH |
Description
The "Available Models" table lists identifiers for third-party models that are not publicly documented or known to exist under those exact names, including
gpt-5.2,gpt-5-mini,gpt-5-nano,gemini-3.1-pro,gemini-3-flash,kimi-k2.5,glm-5, andminimax-m2.5. Using an incorrect model identifier will result in API errors. Documenting unverified identifiers as if they are confirmed available erodes user trust and generates support requests. The guide itself notes "query the Models API for the full list", which makes the table redundant and potentially misleading if any identifier is wrong.
Code
| `gpt-5.2` | OpenAI |
| `gpt-5-mini` | OpenAI |
| `gpt-5-nano` | OpenAI |
| `gemini-3.1-pro` | Google |
| `gemini-3-flash` | Google |Recommendation
Either:
1. Verify each model identifier against the live BANK OF AI Models API and only
list confirmed-available identifiers, OR
2. Remove the static table entirely and replace it with a code snippet showing
users how to query the Models API dynamically:
```bash
curl https://api.bankofai.io/v1/models \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN"This avoids the table becoming stale as models are added or retired.

[MN-01] Extreme API_TIMEOUT_MS Value Is Unexplained and Potentially Harmful
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Severity | Minor |
| Category | Correctness / Code Quality |
| File | docs/llmservice/Claude-Code/claudecode-bankofai-api-configuration-guide.md : Lines 63–70 |
Description
The recommended
settings.jsonsnippet sets"API_TIMEOUT_MS": "3000000"— a 50-minute timeout. This is an unusually large value. Without explanation, users copying this configuration will silently apply a setting that may cause Claude Code to appear unresponsive (hanging indefinitely rather than failing fast) when the BANK OF AI endpoint is unreachable or slow. There is no explanation of why this value is recommended.
Code
"API_TIMEOUT_MS": "3000000"Recommendation
Either reduce to a more reasonable default (e.g., 300000 = 5 minutes) or add
an explanatory comment in the surrounding documentation:
> **Note:** `API_TIMEOUT_MS` is set to 3 000 000 ms (50 minutes) to accommodate
> long-running or complex model requests via the BANK OF AI proxy. You may lower
> this value if faster failure detection is preferred.[MN-02] Inconsistent API Key Placeholder Casing Between EN and ZH Guides
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Severity | Minor |
| Category | Code Quality / Consistency |
| File | docs/llmservice/Claude-Code/claudecode-bankofai-api-configuration-guide.md : Line 65 vs i18n/.../claudecode-bankofai-api-configuration-guide.md : Line 66 |
Description
The English guide uses
"Your-BANK-OF-AI-API-Key"as the placeholder in thesettings.jsonsnippet, while the Chinese guide uses"你的-BANK-OF-AI-API-Key". Minor inconsistency, but for translated technical docs the non-code prose around a JSON snippet should be localised, while the JSON key value placeholders should use the same English placeholder or a universally understood format (e.g.,<YOUR_API_KEY>) in both to avoid confusion.
Recommendation
Use a language-neutral placeholder in JSON code blocks across both guides:
"ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "<YOUR_BANK_OF_AI_API_KEY>"
Reserve translated text for surrounding prose only.[MN-03] Cosmetic Blank-Line Bloat in Existing Files Has No Functional Effect but Inflates Diff
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Severity | Minor |
| Category | Code Quality |
| File | docs/llmservice/introduction.md, i18n/.../introduction.md, i18n/.../quick-start.md |
Description
All three modified existing files have changes that consist entirely of inserting extra blank lines (double or triple spacing) between paragraphs and list items. Standard Markdown rendering collapses consecutive blank lines to a single paragraph break, so the rendered output is identical to the original. These edits add noise to the diff (37 of the 691 lines added are blank lines in existing files), complicate future
git blamereviews, and suggest the edits may be accidental editor artefacts.
Recommendation
Revert the whitespace-only changes to the three existing files using:
git checkout origin/main -- docs/llmservice/introduction.md
git checkout origin/main -- i18n/zh-Hans/.../introduction.md
git checkout origin/main -- i18n/zh-Hans/.../quick-start.md
If the extra blank lines are intentional for a specific Markdown renderer,
add a comment in the PR description explaining why.[MN-04] Sidebar Category Label Capitalisation Does Not Match Surrounding Labels
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Severity | Minor |
| Category | Code Quality / Consistency |
| File | sidebars.js : Lines 214–219; i18n/.../sidebars.js : Lines 217–222 |
Description
The new sidebar entry uses
label: 'Claude Code'(title case, two words). Surrounding entries in the same sidebar section use labels like'openclaw'(lowercase). While the Claude Code branding is a proper noun and capitalisation is correct for it specifically, it is worth confirming the casing convention is deliberate and consistent with how other proper-noun entries are rendered.
Code
{
type: 'category',
label: 'Claude Code', // <-- mixed case; compare with 'API', 'openclaw'
collapsed: true,
items: ['llmservice/Claude-Code/claudecode-bankofai-api-configuration-guide'],
},Recommendation
Verify against the sidebar's broader naming convention. If "Claude Code" is
intentionally title-cased (as a brand name), document the exception. Also
consider whether the directory name `Claude-Code` (capital C) needs to match
the casing convention of sibling directories.Suggestions
[S-01] Add a "Troubleshooting Network Connectivity" Step to the FAQ
File: docs/llmservice/Claude-Code/claudecode-bankofai-api-configuration-guide.md
Description: The FAQ covers common user errors but omits steps for diagnosing network-level failures (firewall, VPN, corporate proxy) when the BANK OF AI endpoint is unreachable.
Suggestion: Add a FAQ entry explaining how to test connectivity (curl -v https://api.bankofai.io/) and what to do if the endpoint is blocked by a corporate firewall or VPN.
[S-02] Consider Adding a "Remove Configuration / Revert to Anthropic Direct" FAQ Entry
File: docs/llmservice/Claude-Code/claudecode-bankofai-api-configuration-guide.md
Description: The guide covers removing the environment variable approach (removing lines from shell rc files) but does not cover reverting the settings.json approach. Users who want to switch back to Anthropic's direct API will not know which keys to remove from settings.json.
Suggestion: Add a settings.json removal/revert step alongside the existing shell-config removal FAQ.
Positive Observations
| Area | Observation |
|---|---|
| Bilingual coverage | Providing both EN and ZH guides simultaneously is excellent for the target user base and reduces future localisation debt. |
| FAQ structure | The collapsible <details> FAQ section is clean, scannable, and directly addresses the most predictable user pain points. |
| Multi-OS coverage | Instructions for Bash, Zsh, and PowerShell are provided, ensuring Windows users are not left behind. |
| Sidebar integration | Both the EN and ZH sidebars are updated in the same PR, keeping navigation in sync with content. |
| Comment delimiters in shell config | Using # Claude Code - BANK OF AI Provider Configuration / # End of BANK OF AI Provider Configuration comment markers makes it easy for users (and scripts) to find and remove the block later. |
| Verification steps | Each configuration option includes a concrete verification step (claude --version && claude), which follows good documentation practice. |

6. Review Verdict
REQUEST CHANGES
Summary of Blockers:
-
[MAJOR-01] The
settings.jsonpath instruction is factually incorrect. Users following this guide will not be able to configure Claude Code successfully. The path must be corrected to~/.claude/settings.json(user-level) or.claude/settings.json(project-level) before this can be merged. -
[MAJOR-02] The available models table lists model identifiers (e.g.,
gpt-5.2,gpt-5-nano,gemini-3.1-pro,claude-opus-4.6) that do not correspond to known-valid model API identifiers. This will cause user-facing API errors. These should be replaced with verified model identifiers from the BANK OF AI Models API, or clearly marked as examples with a prominent disclaimer. -
[MAJOR-03] The whitespace-only modifications to
introduction.mdandquick-start.mdare unrelated to this PR's purpose and should be reverted. They pollute the diff and git history for those files.
Optional but Recommended Before Merge:
- Fix the directory casing from
Claude-Codetoclaude-code(MINOR-01) - Add the
ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKENverification command to the FAQ (MINOR-02) - Explain the
API_TIMEOUT_MSvalue (MINOR-03)
