Quickstart

Go from zero to optimized LLM calls in under five minutes.

  1. 01

    Create an account

    Sign in at sleev.ai with your email, Google, or GitHub account. New users can create an account from the same page and then manage sleeve tokens from the dashboard.

    Create an account
  2. 02

    Create a sleeve token

    Open the dashboard setup flow or Tokens page and create a sleeve token. The plaintext token is shown once. Sleev stores only its hash and masked metadata after that response.

  3. 03

    Configure your app

    Point your tool's base URL at the Sleev proxy and include your sleeve token in the Sleev headers. Replace YOUR_SLEEV_TOKEN with a token from the dashboard setup flow:

    Claude Code

    ~/.claude/settings.json 
    {
  "env": {
    "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://gateway.sleev.ai",
    "ANTHROPIC_CUSTOM_HEADERS": "sleeve-token: YOUR_SLEEV_TOKEN\nsleeve-provider: anthropic\nsleeve-harness: claude-code"
  }
}

    opencode

    opencode.json 
    {
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "compaction": {
    "prune": false
  },
  "provider": {
    "anthropic": {
      "options": {
          "baseURL": "https://gateway.sleev.ai",
          "headers": {
          "sleeve-token": "YOUR_SLEEV_TOKEN",
          "sleeve-provider": "anthropic",
          "sleeve-harness": "opencode"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

    Codex

    ~/.codex/config.toml 
    model_provider = "sleev"

[model_providers.sleev]
name = "Sleev"
base_url = "https://gateway.sleev.ai/v1"
wire_api = "responses"

[model_providers.sleev.http_headers]
"sleeve-token" = "YOUR_SLEEV_TOKEN"
"sleeve-provider" = "openai"
"sleeve-harness" = "codex"

    Start coding

    Use your tool exactly as before. Sleev intercepts every request, optimizes the context, and forwards a lighter payload to your provider. You can track savings in real time on your dashboard.
