+<summary><b>Adding a New Provider (Developer Guide)</b></summary>
+
+nanobot uses a **Provider Registry** (`nanobot/providers/registry.py`) as the single source of truth.
+Adding a new provider only takes **2 steps** — no if-elif chains to touch.
+
+**Step 1.** Add a `ProviderSpec` entry to `PROVIDERS` in `nanobot/providers/registry.py`:
+
+```python
+ProviderSpec(
+    name="myprovider",                   # config field name
+    keywords=("myprovider", "mymodel"),  # model-name keywords for auto-matching
+    env_key="MYPROVIDER_API_KEY",        # env var for LiteLLM
+    display_name="My Provider",          # shown in `nanobot status`
+    litellm_prefix="myprovider",         # auto-prefix: model → myprovider/model
+    skip_prefixes=("myprovider/",),      # don't double-prefix
+)
+```
+
+**Step 2.** Add a field to `ProvidersConfig` in `nanobot/config/schema.py`:
+
+```python
+class ProvidersConfig(BaseModel):
+    ...
+    myprovider: ProviderConfig = ProviderConfig()
+```
+
+That's it! Environment variables, model prefixing, config matching, and `nanobot status` display will all work automatically.
+
+**Common `ProviderSpec` options:**
+
+| Field | Description | Example |
+|-------|-------------|---------|
+| `litellm_prefix` | Auto-prefix model names for LiteLLM | `"dashscope"` → `dashscope/qwen-max` |
+| `skip_prefixes` | Don't prefix if model already starts with these | `("dashscope/", "openrouter/")` |
+| `env_extras` | Additional env vars to set | `(("ZHIPUAI_API_KEY", "{api_key}"),)` |
+| `model_overrides` | Per-model parameter overrides | `(("kimi-k2.5", {"temperature": 1.0}),)` |
+| `is_gateway` | Can route any model (like OpenRouter) | `True` |
+| `detect_by_key_prefix` | Detect gateway by API key prefix | `"sk-or-"` |
+| `detect_by_base_keyword` | Detect gateway by API base URL | `"openrouter"` |
+| `strip_model_prefix` | Strip existing prefix before re-prefixing | `True` (for AiHubMix) |
