LLM strengths — the model-tiering knowledge base
This package is a knowledge base (a kb/ subfolder, declared by the [kb]
marker in lanius.toml). It holds the model-tiering rules the harness uses when
it dispatches work: which model plans, which implements, which verifies, and the
one rule that never flexes.
It is deliberately mutable and preference-dominated: benchmark claims are the
floor, Tim's lived experience overrides them. When they conflict, human
preference wins and the conflict is flagged, not silently resolved.
How this KB is laid out
- One file per role — start here when you are dispatching:
- One file per model — the per-model notes the role files link into:
Using it
- Read a
kb/role-*.md before you pick a model for a task, or grep the
tree: grep -ri "who verifies" kb/.
- List every enabled KB with
lanius kb list.
- Write an update with
lanius kb write kb-llm-strengths kb/<file>.md (it
writes the file and commits it — provenance is the git log). Update the paired
copy too: the canonical model-tiering text is mirrored in
.claude/skills/handoff-workflow/SKILL.md, which configures Claude Code (and
cannot read this KB). Keep the two from forking.
