-# 🔧 Tool Emulation for Non-Tool Models - Phase 2 Integration
-
-**Issue Type**: Feature Enhancement
-**Priority**: Medium
-**Effort**: ~8-12 hours
-**Version**: 1.3.0 (proposed)
-**Status**: Ready for Implementation
-
----
-
-## 📋 Summary
-
-Enable Claude Code and agentic-flow to work with **ANY model** (even those without native function calling support) by implementing automatic tool emulation. This will achieve **99%+ cost savings** while maintaining 70-85% functionality.
-
-**Current Status**: Phase 1 Complete ✅
-- Architecture designed and validated
-- Tool emulation code implemented (`src/proxy/tool-emulation.ts`, `src/utils/modelCapabilities.ts`)
-- All regression tests pass (15/15)
-- Zero breaking changes confirmed
-
-**Next Step**: Phase 2 Integration
-- Connect emulation layer to OpenRouter proxy
-- Add capability detection to CLI
-- Test with real non-tool models
-- Deploy to production
-
----
-
-## 🎯 Problem Statement
-
-### Current Limitation
-
-Claude Code and agentic-flow currently **require models with native tool/function calling support**:
-
-✅ **Works**: DeepSeek Chat, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, GPT-4o, Llama 3.3 70B
-❌ **Fails**: Mistral 7B, Llama 2 13B, GLM-4-9B (free), older models
-
-When using non-tool models:
-- Tools are ignored
-- Model responds with plain text
-- No file operations, bash commands, or MCP tool usage possible
-
-### Impact
-
-Users are forced to use expensive models:
-- **Claude 3.5 Sonnet**: $3-15/M tokens
-- **GPT-4o**: $2.50/M tokens
-
-Even though cheaper/free alternatives exist:
-- **Mistral 7B**: $0.07/M tokens (97.7% cheaper)
-- **GLM-4-9B**: FREE (100% savings)
-
----
-
-## ✅ Solution: Automatic Tool Emulation
-
-Implement transparent tool emulation that:
-1. **Detects** when a model lacks native tool support
-2. **Converts** tool definitions into structured prompts
-3. **Parses** model responses for tool calls
-4. **Executes** tools and continues conversation
-5. **Returns** results in standard Anthropic format
-
-### Two Strategies
-
-**ReAct Pattern** (70-85% reliability):
-- Best for: Complex tasks, 32k+ context
-- Structured reasoning: Thought → Action → Observation → Final Answer
-- Used by: Mistral 7B, GLM-4-9B, newer models
-
-**Prompt-Based** (50-70% reliability):
-- Best for: Simple tasks, <8k context
-- Direct JSON tool invocation
-- Used by: Llama 2 13B, older models
-
----
-
-## 📦 Phase 1 Complete (Validation)
-
-### Files Implemented
-
-✅ **Core Implementation** (~22KB):
-- `src/utils/modelCapabilities.ts` - Capability detection for 15+ models
-- `src/proxy/tool-emulation.ts` - ReAct and Prompt emulation logic
-
-✅ **Testing & Documentation** (~51KB):
-- `examples/tool-emulation-demo.ts` - Offline demonstration
-- `examples/tool-emulation-test.ts` - Real API testing script
-- `examples/regression-test.ts` - 15-test regression suite
-- `examples/test-claude-code-emulation.ts` - Claude Code simulation
-- `examples/TOOL-EMULATION-ARCHITECTURE.md` - Technical documentation
-- `examples/REGRESSION-TEST-RESULTS.md` - Test results
-- `examples/VALIDATION-SUMMARY.md` - High-level overview
-- `examples/PHASE-2-INTEGRATION-GUIDE.md` - Integration instructions
-
-### Validation Results
-
-**Regression Tests**: ✅ 15/15 passed (100%)
-
-| Category | Status |
-|----------|--------|
-| Code Isolation | ✅ Not imported in main codebase |
-| TypeScript Compilation | ✅ Clean build with zero errors |
-| Model Detection | ✅ Correctly identifies native vs emulation |
-| Proxy Integrity | ✅ Tool names/schemas unchanged |
-| Backward Compatibility | ✅ All 67 agents work |
-
-**Key Validation**: Confirmed that proxy does NOT rewrite tool names or schemas - they pass through unchanged. Tool emulation is completely isolated.
-
----
-
-## 🚀 Phase 2 Tasks (Integration)
-
-### Task 1: Add Capability Detection to CLI (1-2 hours)
-
-**File**: `src/cli-proxy.ts`
-
-**Changes**:
-1. Import capability detection at top of file
-2. Detect capabilities when initializing OpenRouter proxy
-3. Log emulation status to console
-4. Pass capabilities to proxy constructor
-
-**Code Location**: Around line 307-347 (OpenRouter proxy initialization)
-
-**Implementation**:
-```typescript
-import { detectModelCapabilities } from './utils/modelCapabilities.js';
-
-// In startOpenRouterProxy function:
-const model = options.model || process.env.COMPLETION_MODEL || 'mistralai/mistral-small-3.1-24b-instruct';
-const capabilities = detectModelCapabilities(model);
-
-if (capabilities.requiresEmulation) {
-  console.log(`\n⚙️  Detected: Model lacks native tool support`);
-  console.log(`🔧 Using ${capabilities.emulationStrategy.toUpperCase()} emulation pattern`);
-  console.log(`📊 Expected reliability: ${capabilities.emulationStrategy === 'react' ? '70-85%' : '50-70%'}\n`);
-}
-
-// Pass to proxy constructor
-const proxy = new AnthropicToOpenRouterProxy({
-  apiKey: openRouterKey,
-  defaultModel: model,
-  capabilities: capabilities  // NEW
-});
-```
-
-**Test After**:
-```bash
-# Should show native tools message
-npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "test" --provider openrouter --model "deepseek/deepseek-chat"
-
-# Should show emulation message
-npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "test" --provider openrouter --model "mistralai/mistral-7b-instruct"
-```
-
----
-
-### Task 2: Update OpenRouter Proxy Constructor (1 hour)
-
-**File**: `src/proxy/anthropic-to-openrouter.ts`
-
-**Changes**:
-1. Add imports for tool emulation
-2. Add `capabilities` field to class
-3. Update constructor to accept capabilities parameter
-4. Initialize (but don't use yet) emulation flag
-
-**Code Location**: Around line 58-120 (class definition and constructor)
-
-**Implementation**:
-```typescript
-import { ModelCapabilities } from '../utils/modelCapabilities.js';
-
-export class AnthropicToOpenRouterProxy {
-  private capabilities?: ModelCapabilities;
-
-  constructor(config: {
-    apiKey: string;
-    defaultModel?: string;
-    baseURL?: string;
-    siteName?: string;
-    siteURL?: string;
-    capabilities?: ModelCapabilities;  // NEW
-  }) {
-    // ... existing code ...
-    this.capabilities = config.capabilities;
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**Test After**:
-```bash
-npm run build
-# Should compile with no errors
-
-# Test existing functionality
-npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "What is 2+2?" --provider openrouter --model "deepseek/deepseek-chat"
-# Should work exactly as before
-```
-
----
-
-### Task 3: Regression Test After Constructor Change (30 min)
-
-**Run**:
-```bash
-npm run build
-npx tsx examples/regression-test.ts
-```
-
-**Expected**: All 15 tests pass
-
-**If any test fails**: Revert changes and debug before continuing
-
----
-
-### Task 4: Add Emulation Request Handler (3-4 hours)
-
-**File**: `src/proxy/anthropic-to-openrouter.ts`
-
-**Changes**:
-1. Import tool emulation utilities
-2. Split existing request handler into two methods
-3. Add emulation-specific request handler
-4. Add tool execution stub (returns error for now)
-
-**Code Location**: Request handling logic (around line 200-400)
-
-**Implementation**:
-```typescript
-import { ToolEmulator, executeEmulation, ToolCall } from './tool-emulation.js';
-import { detectModelCapabilities } from '../utils/modelCapabilities.js';
-
-// In request handler (around line 250):
-private async handleAnthropicRequest(anthropicReq: AnthropicRequest): Promise<any> {
-  const model = anthropicReq.model || this.defaultModel;
-  const capabilities = this.capabilities || detectModelCapabilities(model);
-
-  // Check if emulation is needed
-  if (capabilities.requiresEmulation && anthropicReq.tools && anthropicReq.tools.length > 0) {
-    logger.info(`Using tool emulation for model: ${model}`);
-    return this.handleEmulatedRequest(anthropicReq, capabilities);
-  }
-
-  // Existing path (native tool support)
-  return this.handleNativeRequest(anthropicReq);
-}
-
-private async handleNativeRequest(anthropicReq: AnthropicRequest): Promise<any> {
-  // Move existing request handling code here
-  // This is the current logic - no changes needed
-}
-
-private async handleEmulatedRequest(
-  anthropicReq: AnthropicRequest,
-  capabilities: ModelCapabilities
-): Promise<any> {
-  const emulator = new ToolEmulator(
-    anthropicReq.tools || [],
-    capabilities.emulationStrategy as 'react' | 'prompt'
-  );
-
-  // Extract user message
-  const lastMessage = anthropicReq.messages[anthropicReq.messages.length - 1];
-  const userMessage = this.extractMessageText(lastMessage);
-
-  // Execute emulation
-  const result = await executeEmulation(
-    emulator,
-    userMessage,
-    async (prompt) => {
-      // Call model with prompt
-      const openaiReq = this.buildOpenAIRequest(anthropicReq, prompt);
-      const response = await this.callOpenRouterAPI(openaiReq);
-      return response.choices[0].message.content;
-    },
-    async (toolCall) => {
-      // Tool execution - stub for now
-      logger.warn(`Tool execution not yet implemented: ${toolCall.name}`);
-      return { error: 'Tool execution not implemented' };
-    },
-    {
-      maxIterations: 5,
-      verbose: process.env.VERBOSE === 'true'
-    }
-  );
-
-  // Convert to Anthropic format
-  return this.formatEmulationResult(result, anthropicReq);
-}
-
-private extractMessageText(message: AnthropicMessage): string {
-  if (typeof message.content === 'string') {
-    return message.content;
-  }
-  return message.content.find(c => c.type === 'text')?.text || '';
-}
-
-private formatEmulationResult(result: any, originalReq: AnthropicRequest): any {
-  return {
-    id: `emulated_${Date.now()}`,
-    type: 'message',
-    role: 'assistant',
-    content: [{
-      type: 'text',
-      text: result.finalAnswer || 'No response generated'
-    }],
-    model: originalReq.model || this.defaultModel,
-    stop_reason: 'end_turn',
-    usage: {
-      input_tokens: 0,
-      output_tokens: 0
-    }
-  };
-}
-```
-
-**Test After**:
-```bash
-npm run build
-
-# Test native tools still work
-npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "What is 2+2?" \
-  --provider openrouter --model "deepseek/deepseek-chat"
-
-# Test emulation path (will have limited functionality)
-npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "What is 5*5?" \
-  --provider openrouter --model "mistralai/mistral-7b-instruct"
-```
-
----
-
-### Task 5: Test Non-Tool Model Emulation (1-2 hours)
-
-**Requirements**:
-- OpenRouter API key set: `export OPENROUTER_API_KEY="sk-or-..."`
-
-**Test Cases**:
-
-```bash
-# Test 1: Simple math (should work even without tools)
-npx agentic-flow --agent coder \
-  --task "Calculate 15 * 23" \
-  --provider openrouter \
-  --model "mistralai/mistral-7b-instruct"
-
-# Expected: Emulation message shown, model responds with answer
-
-# Test 2: Verify native tools unaffected
-npx agentic-flow --agent coder \
-  --task "Calculate 100 / 4" \
-  --provider openrouter \
-  --model "deepseek/deepseek-chat"
-
-# Expected: No emulation message, standard tool use
-
-# Test 3: Free model (GLM-4-9B)
-npx agentic-flow --agent researcher \
-  --task "What is machine learning?" \
-  --provider openrouter \
-  --model "thudm/glm-4-9b:free"
-
-# Expected: Emulation message, response generated
-```
-
-**Validation Checklist**:
-- [ ] Emulation message appears for non-tool models
-- [ ] Native tool models work unchanged
-- [ ] No errors during request processing
-- [ ] Responses are coherent
-- [ ] Build succeeds with no warnings

-## 🧪 Testing Strategy
-
-### Automated Tests
-
-1. **Regression Tests** (15 tests):
-   ```bash
-   npx tsx examples/regression-test.ts
-   ```
-   - Must pass 15/15 before and after each change
-
-2. **Emulation Demo** (offline):
-   ```bash
-   npx tsx examples/tool-emulation-demo.ts
-   ```
-   - Validates architecture without API calls
-
-3. **Build Verification**:
-   ```bash
-   npm run build
-   ```
-   - Must succeed with zero errors
-
-### Manual Tests
-
-1. **Native Tool Model** (baseline):
-   ```bash
-   npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "What is 2+2?" \
-     --provider openrouter --model "deepseek/deepseek-chat"
-   ```
-
-2. **Non-Tool Model** (emulation):
-   ```bash
-   npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "Calculate 5*5" \
-     --provider openrouter --model "mistralai/mistral-7b-instruct"
-   ```
-
-3. **Free Model**:
-   ```bash
-   npx agentic-flow --agent researcher --task "Explain AI" \
-     --provider openrouter --model "thudm/glm-4-9b:free"
-   ```
-
-4. **Claude Code Integration**:
-   ```bash
-   npx agentic-flow claude-code --provider openrouter \
-     --model "mistralai/mistral-7b-instruct" \
-     "Write a hello world function"
-   ```
-
-### Validation Criteria
-
-✅ **Must Pass**:
-- All 15 regression tests pass
-- TypeScript builds without errors
-- Native tool models work unchanged
-- Emulation message appears for non-tool models
-- No runtime errors or crashes
-
-⚠️ **Expected Limitations**:
-- Tool execution not yet implemented (Phase 3)
-- Emulation reliability 70-85% (lower than native 95%+)
-- No streaming support for emulated requests
-
----
-
-## 📊 Success Metrics
-
-### Technical Metrics
-- ✅ Zero regressions (15/15 tests pass)
-- ✅ Clean TypeScript build
-- ✅ Emulation detection working
-- ⏳ Tool execution integrated (Phase 3)
-
-### User Metrics
-- Users can select Mistral 7B and see emulation message
-- Cost savings: 97-99% vs Claude 3.5 Sonnet
-- Model options increase from ~10 to 100+
-
-### Performance Metrics
-- Native tools: 95-99% reliability (unchanged)
-- ReAct emulation: 70-85% reliability
-- Prompt emulation: 50-70% reliability
-
----
-
-## 🚧 Known Limitations (Phase 2)
-
-1. **No Tool Execution Yet**: Emulation detects tool calls but can't execute them
-   - **Impact**: Models will attempt to use tools but get error responses
-   - **Fix**: Phase 3 - Integrate with MCP tool execution system
-
-2. **No Streaming**: Emulation uses multi-iteration loop, can't stream
-   - **Impact**: Responses come all at once, no progressive updates
-   - **Fix**: Phase 3 - Implement partial streaming
-
-3. **Context Window Constraints**: Small models can't handle 218 tools
-   - **Impact**: Models with <32k context may fail with full tool catalog
-   - **Fix**: Phase 3 - Tool filtering based on task relevance
-
-4. **Lower Reliability**: 70-85% vs 95%+ for native tools
-   - **Impact**: Some tool calls may be missed or malformed
-   - **Fix**: Inherent limitation - use native tool models for critical tasks
-
----
-
-## 🔮 Future Enhancements (Phase 3+)
-
-### Phase 3: Tool Execution Integration (4-6 hours)
-- Connect emulation loop to MCP tool execution
-- Implement tool result handling
-- Add error recovery mechanisms
-
-### Phase 4: Optimization (3-4 hours)
-- Tool filtering based on task relevance (embeddings)
-- Prompt caching to reduce token usage
-- Parallel tool execution where possible
-
-### Phase 5: Advanced Features (6-8 hours)
-- Streaming support for emulated requests
-- Hybrid routing (tool model for decisions, cheap model for text)
-- Fine-tuning adapters for specific emulation patterns
-- Auto-switching strategies based on failure detection
