What this skill does
Groq Install & Auth Overview Install the official Groq SDK and configure API key authentication. Groq provides ultra-fast LLM inference on custom LPU hardware through an OpenAI-compatible REST API at api.groq.com/openai/v1/. The workflow is four steps: install the SDK, mint an API key, export it as an environment variable, and verify the connection by listing models. Each step is summarized below; deep detail lives in references/. Prerequisites Node.js 18+ or Python 3.8+ Package manager (npm, pnpm, or pip) Groq account at console.groq.com API key from GroqCloud console (Settings > API Keys) Instructions Step 1: Install the SDK Step 2: Get Your API Key 1. Go to console.groq.com/keys 2. Click "Create API Key" 3. Copy the key (starts with gsk) 4. Store it securely -- you cannot view it again Step 3: Configure Environment Add the .gitignore template before writing any .env file so a key can never be committed: Step 4: Verify the Connection Run a short script that lists the models your key can access — a successful list proves authentication end-to-end. The essential TypeScript skeleton: Full runnable TypeScript and Python verification scripts, with expected output: verification walkthrough. Output A successful setup produces: groq-sdk (Node) or groq (Python) installed in the project. GROQAPIKEY available in the environment (or .env, with .env gitignored). A verification run that prints the accessible models, for example: If the verification run prints a 401 instead of a model list, authentication failed — see Error Handling. SDK Defaults & Key Formats The SDK auto-reads GROQAPIKEY from the environment when no apiKey is passed. Groq uses a single gsk key type with full API access (no read/write scopes). Constructor options (baseURL, maxRetries, timeout), the OpenAI-SDK compatibility path, and the key-format table are in the configuration reference. …
