models
Skill37 starsChanged 4 months agoMITView on GitHub
Show or change which model each frugal agent runs on, per project. Use when the user wants to see the current tier-to-model mapping, move an agent to a different model (e.g. scout to sonnet), or reset overrides. Triggers on "frugal models", "change router models", "which model does scout use".

Before designing a feature, research how comparable libraries solve the problem, check best practices, known pitfalls, and upstream changes. Use when starting a new feature, investigating an unfamiliar area, or the user asks to research something.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 7 edited versions we read keep these.
1
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 20
Read each agent's default from the model: frontmatter line in <plugin-root>/agents/*.md (plugin root is two directories up from this …
- Very specific: line 23
Read the "Model overrides" section of .claude/routing-overrides.md if it exists.
- Very specific: line 32
Create or update the managed section in .claude/routing-overrides.md (create the file if missing, keep any unmanaged content above it …
- Distinctive: line 54
Remove the managed section.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 7 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Frugal model overrides
Manage the per-project model mapping for frugal's agents. Defaults live in each
agent's frontmatter (agents/*.md under the plugin root); overrides live in the
project's .claude/routing-overrides.md, which the routing policy reads first.
Overrides work because the Agent tool accepts a model parameter per spawn - no
plugin files are ever edited.
Valid agents: scout, extractor, mechanic, builder, sage.
Valid models: haiku, sonnet, opus, fable.
No arguments: show the mapping
- Read each agent's default from the
model:frontmatter line in<plugin-root>/agents/*.md(plugin root is two directories up from this skill's base directory). - Read the "Model overrides" section of
.claude/routing-overrides.mdif it exists. - Show one table: agent, default, override (or "-"), effective model. Nothing else.
Arguments like scout=sonnet builder=opus
- Validate every pair against the lists above. Invalid agent or model: reject with the valid options, change nothing.
Create or update the managed section in
.claude/routing-overrides.md(create the file if missing, keep any unmanaged content above it intact):## Model overrides (managed by /frugal:models) | Agent | Model | |---|---| | scout | sonnet | When spawning a frugal agent listed above, pass its listed model as the Agent tool's `model` parameter.- Merge with existing overrides: new pairs win, unmentioned pairs stay.
- Setting an agent to its default removes its row. Empty table: remove the whole section.
- Confirm with the resulting mapping table and apply it immediately to any spawns later in this session.
Argument reset
Remove the managed section. If the file is then empty, delete the file. Show the default mapping.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
