SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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.

FAQPage Schema
How do I keep Claude model selection guidance updated with new releases and pricing?

To keep Claude model selection guidance updated, run automated web research to check new model releases, pricing changes, and benchmark deltas against your existing repository configuration files. This ensures future coding workflow routing recommends the correct model tiers across sessions.

What is the best way to compare Claude model benchmarks and pricing automatically?

Comparing Claude model benchmarks and pricing automatically involves fetching official model documentation and performing web searches to detect context, max output, and benchmark deltas. The gathered data is then compared against your current model guide to identify what changed.

How do I apply researched Claude model updates to session and agent config files?

To apply researched Claude model updates to session and agent config files, execute the research command with the apply flag. This automatically applies diffs to the model guide, session context script, and batch task prompt configuration files.

Does updating model selection guidance require manually editing the markdown docs?

Updating model selection guidance does not require manually editing markdown docs because the process automatically compares web research against the current models.md file. It optionally applies the necessary diffs directly to the configuration files.

When should I run automated research for Claude model releases?

You should run automated research for Claude model releases whenever new models drop or periodically to maintain accuracy. This keeps your coding workflow routing updated across sessions and agent assignments without manual checks.
