# Anthropic Opus API key smoke

```yaml qa-scenario
id: anthropic-opus-api-key-smoke
title: Anthropic Opus API key smoke
surface: model-provider
coverage:
  primary:
    - models.provider-auth
  secondary:
    - models.anthropic
objective: Verify the regular Anthropic Opus lane can complete a quick chat turn using API-key auth.
successCriteria:
  - A live-frontier run fails fast unless the selected primary provider is anthropic.
  - The selected primary model is Anthropic Opus 4.6.
  - The QA gateway worker has an Anthropic API key available through environment auth.
  - The agent replies through the regular Anthropic provider.
