+| **Provider** | An endpoint dialect — base URL, which credential variable, default models, compatibility flags. Eight ship built in | No. Every account names one. *Adding your own* is the optional part |
+| **Account** | **Who pays.** One provider plus one credential: an API key, an env var, or a Claude subscription login | No |
+| **Setup** | **What runs.** Which CLI (`claude-code`, `kilo`, `opencode`), which model per tier, permissions, env | No. Every profile names one |
+| **Profile** | **The pairing.** One setup + one or more accounts + how to choose between them | No — this is what `swisscode <name>` launches |

+Two mistakes the tool now catches for you, because both used to fail silently:
+an **account with no profile** cannot be launched (`swisscode <account-name>`
+selects a *profile*, so the name would go to the agent as a prompt), and **two
+accounts that are the same subscription** share one quota while looking like two.
