WorkBuddy (also known as Tencent Cloud CodeBuddy) is an AI task automation component of the CodeBuddy ecosystem. Add ClearMaas as a custom OpenAI-compatible model provider to use any of the 570+ models in your coding workflows.

Prerequisites

  • WorkBuddy / CodeBuddy installed (codebuddy.cn)
  • A ClearMaas API key starting with sk-

Setup via models.json

WorkBuddy supports file-based model configuration. Create or edit models.json: User-level (all projects): ~/.codebuddy/models.json Project-level (single project): .codebuddy/models.json Project-level settings override user-level for matching model IDs.

Adding ClearMaas

Key fields:

Setup via UI

Since 2025, WorkBuddy supports graphical model configuration:

  2. Navigate to Models or AI Settings
  3. Click Add Custom Model or Add Provider
  4. Fill in:
Capabilities like tool calling and image input are auto-populated when selecting standard vendors.

Model format

When specifying the model ID, use ClearMaas’s provider/model-name format:

Ollama and local models

WorkBuddy also supports local models via Ollama. If you have both Ollama and ClearMaas configured, WorkBuddy can route between them:
  • Ollama: http://localhost:11434/v1/chat/completions
  • ClearMaas: https://api.clearmaas.com/v1/chat/completions

Custom protocol for gateways

If your ClearMaas URL uses non-standard paths, enable Custom Protocol in the advanced settings to skip path validation.

Verification

  1. After adding ClearMaas, select the model from the model picker
  2. Ask a coding question or run a task
  3. Check your ClearMaas dashboard to confirm the request was routed
