Draft capability entry (reuse-surface REUSE-WP-0017-T04, cohort 2)

Honest first-pass maturity vector grounded in README/docs/tests present
in this repo; no invented evidence. Flagged for human review before
publish. See reuse-surface history/2026-07-06-coverage-classification.md.

+# Pluggable LLM Adapter Library (llm-connect)
+
+## Overview
+
+`llm-connect` provides pluggable, provider-neutral LLM adapters for Python and the command line, supporting OpenRouter, Gemini, OpenAI, and the Claude Code CLI out of the box behind a clean abstract interface, and is already the intended backend for several sibling repos including `can-you-assist` and `reuse-surface`'s own drafting tooling.
+
+## Assessment notes
+
+### Discovery
+
+README documents a working quick-start (`create_adapter`, `RunConfig`, `execute_prompt`), the supported provider list, and both local-editable and future-published install paths.
+
+### Availability
+
+Installable today via `pip install -e` (local) with a documented future `pip install llm-connect` path once published; consumed today by sibling repos including `cya` (can-you-assist) and referenced as the intended backend for reuse-surface's own `establish --discover`.
+
+### Completeness
+
+First-pass honest assessment from the REUSE-WP-0017 coverage campaign
+(reuse-surface). No external consumer feedback exists yet; levels reflect
+scope-vs-intent documentation quality, not internal code quality.
+
+### Reliability
+
+No production consumer telemetry exists yet; reliability level is
+intentionally conservative pending REUSE-WP-0019 reuse-telemetry evidence.

+## Promotion checklist
+
+- [x] ID follows `capability.<domain>.<name>` pattern
+- [x] Maturity enums match `specs/CapabilityMaturityStandard.md`
+- [x] `external_evidence` is populated separately from `maturity`
+- [ ] Relations reference valid capability IDs (none yet)
+- [x] Index entry added in `registry/indexes/capabilities.yaml`
