Blueprint

endlesstokens Agent-Assisted Development Retainer (5-7 days)

Agencies package endlesstokens time-based passes into a flat-rate coding-agent retainer, giving clients unlimited token windows for Aider, Cline, or Claude Code without per-token billing surprises.

Prerequisites
  • Client development workflow identified (e.g., Aider for refactoring, Cline for VS Code tasks) and one supported agent chosen
  • Agency secrets manager ready to store endlesstokens API keys and base URL https://api.endlesstokens.ai/v1
  • Client agreement on pass duration (1-hour, 1-day, or 3-day) and session concurrency expectations
  • Access to client codebase or internal tool for agent integration testing
  • Billing process for pass procurement (agency card or client reimbursement)
Execution Timeline
  • 1.Purchase a 1-day pass ($15) to validate endlesstokens connectivity; note that the window starts at payment
  • 2.Generate account API key and store it in agency secrets manager with base URL https://api.endlesstokens.ai/v1
  • 3.Verify et:auto model router with a test prompt via OpenAI-compatible endpoint
  • 1.Configure client's chosen coding agent (Aider, Cline, or Claude Code) to use endlesstokens base URL and key
  • 2.Test image-input path with up to 5 images per request to confirm multimodal support
  • 3.Confirm parallel sessions stay within the two-session-per-key cap by running two concurrent agent tasks
  • 1.Document pass procurement workflow for client self-service: 1-hour add-on, 1-day ($15), and 3-day ($36) options
  • 2.Set up monitoring for session usage and token consumption within pass windows
  • 3.Create runbook for switching between et:auto and specific open-weight models (e.g., Qwen3.8-27B)
  • 1.Integrate endlesstokens with client's CI/CD pipeline for automated code review or test generation
  • 2.Test Anthropic Messages endpoint compatibility if client uses Claude Code
  • 3.Establish fallback procedure for when pass expires mid-task (purchase new pass or pause agent)
  • 1.Conduct client training on pass management and agent usage best practices
  • 2.Deliver configuration documentation and API key handover (if client self-manages)
  • 3.Review session concurrency limits and recommend pass duration based on expected workload
  • 1.Run a full-day pilot with client team using a 1-day pass ($15) to validate workflow
  • 2.Collect feedback on agent performance and adjust model routing or agent settings
  • 3.Document any issues with 128K context window limits and mitigation strategies
  • 1.Finalize retainer agreement including pass procurement responsibilities and support scope
  • 2.Set up monthly billing for agency management fee plus pass costs
  • 3.Hand over all credentials and documentation; schedule 30-day check-in
$15 (1-day pass) to $36 (3-day pass) per client validation cycle; agency setup labor 20-30 hours5-7 days
ROI Logic

Agencies charge a flat monthly retainer (e.g., $2,250 for starter deploy) that includes pass procurement at $15-$36 per window. With unlimited tokens during passes, agencies avoid per-token markups and can offer predictable pricing while maintaining 60-70% margin on labor and pass resale.

Deliverables
  • endlesstokens API key and base URL configuration guide for client's coding agent
  • Pass procurement workflow document with pricing tiers (1-hour add-on, 1-day $15, 3-day $36)
  • Agent integration test report covering et:auto routing, image inputs, and session concurrency
  • Client training materials on pass management and agent best practices
  • Retainer agreement template with pass cost pass-through and support terms
Definition of Done

Client's coding agent successfully completes a real development task using an endlesstokens pass, with documented pass procurement and session management procedures in place.
