+# NeMo Relay Recipe
+
+Run Switchyard **as a library** inside [NeMo Relay](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo-Relay):
+routing decisions are made in-process by [libsy](../../crates/libsy/README.md)
+while Relay owns the proxy, dispatch, credentials, and observability. No
+`switchyard serve` process is involved.
+
+libsy never performs a network call: each offloaded `CallLlm` promise is
+fulfilled by Relay's dispatch chain and answered with
+`CallLlmRequest::respond(Ok/Err)`. libsy's semantic target names map onto the
+Relay plugin's `TargetBinding` table, which binds each name to a backend URL,
+model, protocol, and credentials. Buffered and streamed requests are both
+routed; keep every target on the agent's protocol (as below) so streams pass
+through without translation.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Rust 1.96.1 or later
+- Claude Code, for the agent launcher path
+- An OpenRouter API key, from the
+  [OpenRouter keys page](https://openrouter.ai/keys)
+
+## Install
+
+Build the Relay CLI with the Switchyard plugin (reference branch:
+[feat/libsy-decision-backend](https://github.com/ryan-lempka/NeMo-Relay/tree/feat/libsy-decision-backend)):
+
+```bash
+git clone -b feat/libsy-decision-backend https://github.com/ryan-lempka/NeMo-Relay.git
+cd NeMo-Relay
+cargo build -p nemo-relay-cli --features switchyard
+```
+
+## Configure
+
+Copy the two example configs into the project you will launch from, and
+provide your OpenRouter key:
+
+- [examples/nemo_relay/config.toml](../../examples/nemo_relay/config.toml) → `.nemo-relay/config.toml`
+- [examples/nemo_relay/plugins.toml](../../examples/nemo_relay/plugins.toml) → `.nemo-relay/plugins.toml`
+
+```bash
+export OPENROUTER_AUTHORIZATION="Bearer $OPENROUTER_API_KEY"
+./target/debug/nemo-relay doctor
+```
+
+The plugin config selects `decision_backend = "libsy"` with random routing
+between a strong target (Opus) and a weak target (Sonnet), both served by
+OpenRouter's Anthropic-compatible endpoint. Since Relay v0.7, target bindings
+own their credentials: the agent's own login is never forwarded to a routed
+target.
+
+## Path A: Gateway mode
+
+Runs Relay's gateway with libsy routing and a deterministic fake provider; no
+credentials needed:
+
+```bash
+./examples/switchyard/run-libsy-e2e.sh
+```
+
+Expected receipt:
+
+```text
+ok: easy prompt routes weak
+ok: hard prompt routes strong
+ok: streamed hard prompt routes strong
+ok: classifier and routed calls all flowed through Relay dispatch (6 upstream calls)
+libsy in-process routing e2e passed
+```
+
+## Path B: Agent launcher
+
+From the directory containing `.nemo-relay/`:
+
+```bash
+./target/debug/nemo-relay claude
+```
+
+This opens the normal interactive Claude Code TUI through the Relay gateway.
+
+## Validate
+
+Routing decisions land in `nemo-relay-events-*.jsonl` in the working
+directory, one mark per decision:
+
+```bash
+grep -h -o '"backend_id":"[a-z]*"' nemo-relay-events-*.jsonl | sort | uniq -c
+```
+
+Expected receipt: `switchyard.routing.decision` marks naming `strong` and
+`weak`, with responses served by both models across the session. A decision
+naming a target is the proof: libsy selected it in-process and Relay
+dispatched the routed call.
+
+## The embedding contract
+
+A host needs three things from libsy:
+
+- `Algorithm`: one shared `Arc<dyn Algorithm>` serves concurrent requests.
+- `run_stream(ctx, request)`: a stream of `Step`s; the host serves each
+  `Step::CallLlm` and fulfills it with `respond(...)` — a buffered response
+  or a live chunk stream.
+- The conversation IR (`LlmRequest`, `AggLlmResponse`, `LlmResponseChunk`
+  from `switchyard-protocol`), which Relay already speaks through
+  `switchyard-translation`.
+
+See the [libsy README](../../crates/libsy/README.md) for the full API.
