smart-model-switching

Overview

Smart Model Switching is a three-tier Claude routing skill that automatically escalates tasks to the cheapest model that works correctly, saving 50-90% on API costs. It follows a three-tier progression: Haiku → Sonnet → Opus.

Key Features

• Auto-route tasks to the cheapest model that works correctly
• Three-tier progression: Haiku → Sonnet → Opus
• Save 50-90% on API costs

How It Works

The skill uses a decision tree to determine which model to use based on the task's complexity. It starts with the cheapest model (Haiku) and escalates to Sonnet or Opus when needed.

Use Cases

• Factual Q&A and quick lookups
• Code generation and debugging
• Analysis and planning
• Writing and content creation
• Architecture and design decisions
• Strategic planning and nuanced judgment
