Function: autoDetectProvider()

autoDetectProvider(task?): string | undefined

Defined in: packages/agentos/src/api/runtime/provider-defaults.ts:171

Auto-detects the active provider by scanning well-known environment variables and CLI binaries in priority order.

Returns the identifier of the first provider whose key/URL env var is non-empty or whose CLI binary is on PATH, or undefined when no recognisable runtime is present.

Default priority: openrouter → openai → anthropic → gemini → claude-code-cli → gemini-cli → ollama → …

The order can be overridden process-wide via setProviderPriority(['anthropic', 'openai', ...]). When a custom list is installed, only the providers in that list are considered (in the order given); pass the full set you want detection to consider.
