What problem does it solve?
Model releases and pricing change frequently, making it hard to know which Claude model is best for coding tasks without manually checking sources and updating your repo guidance.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Web research for new Claude models: Gathers the latest model announcements, official model lists, and relevant updates.
- Benchmarks and pricing comparison: Detects pricing changes, context/max output updates, and benchmark deltas.
- Config updates when you choose: With apply mode, updates the model guide and session/model assignment guidance so future runs use the latest selection rules.
Use case: after a new Claude release, run the skill to identify what changed versus your current docs/research/models.md, then apply the updates so agents and sessions automatically recommend the right model tiers.
Quick Start
Run /model-research --apply to research the latest Claude models and automatically update the model guide and related configuration files.
