Intelligent Router — Core Skill

CORE SKILL: This skill is infrastructure, not guidance. Installation = enforcement. Run bash skills/intelligent-router/install.sh to activate.

What It Does

Automatically classifies any task into a tier (SIMPLE/MEDIUM/COMPLEX/REASONING/CRITICAL) and recommends the cheapest model that can handle it well.

The problem it solves: Without routing, every cron job and sub-agent defaults to Sonnet (expensive). With routing, monitoring tasks use free local models, saving 80-95% on cost.

MANDATORY Protocol (enforced via AGENTS.md)

Before spawning any sub-agent:

python3 skills/intelligent-router/scripts/router.py classify "task description"

Before creating any cron job:

python3 skills/intelligent-router/scripts/spawn_helper.py "task description"
# Outputs the exact model ID and payload snippet to use

To validate a cron payload has model set:
