Quickly choosing the right Claude model tier before heavy AI work to balance cost and performance.
Spawn a sub-agent with the recommended tier after classifying the task description.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Classifying the task description evaluates complexity to output an appropriate Claude model tier—haiku, sonnet, or opus—balancing cost and performance before starting heavy analysis or coding.
Model routing for sub-agent workflows is the process of classifying a task first, then spawning the sub-agent with the recommended tier to optimize resource usage and speed.
You optimize AI costs by routing tasks to the appropriate tier before spawning sub-agents, ensuring lighter tasks use haiku while reserving opus for heavy analysis.
You need access to a local MODEL_ROUTER_HOME directory, which defaults to ~/projects/model-router, to run the classify.cjs scripts that determine the tier.
You should skip automated tier selection for trivial tasks where the overhead of running classifier scripts outweighs the cost savings, or if the task context falls outside coding, research, and decision workflows.
