Smart Model Router
Use this skill when the user wants to inspect available models, change the global default primary model, manage fallbacks, or run a task through a stronger model.
Quick reference
List models:
exec: /workspace/skills/smart-model-router/run_smart_model_router.sh list-models --json
Doctor / health:
exec: /workspace/skills/smart-model-router/run_smart_model_router.sh doctor --json
exec: /workspace/skills/smart-model-router/run_smart_model_router.sh doctor --json --probe
Set primary model:
exec: /workspace/skills/smart-model-router/run_smart_model_router.sh set-primary <provider/model-or-alias>
Manage fallbacks:
exec: /workspace/skills/smart-model-router/run_smart_model_router.sh add-fallback <provider/model-or-alias>
exec: /workspace/skills/smart-model-router/run_smart_model_router.sh remove-fallback <provider/model-or-alias>
exec: /workspace/skills/smart-model-router/run_smart_model_router.sh clear-fallbacks
Recommend a model for a task:
exec: /workspace/skills/smart-model-router/run_smart_model_router.sh recommend '<task>'
exec: /workspace/skills/smart-model-router/run_smart_model_router.sh suggest-session-switch '<task>'
Behavior rules
- Use the helper for all deterministic inspection and config changes.
- Never invent a model not present in the configured catalog.
- Prefer the current primary model for ordinary tasks.
- For research tasks, the priority order in
AGENTS.md overrides ordinary defaults: {{ MODEL_ID }} -> {{ MODEL_ID }} -> {{ MODEL_ID }} -> {{ MODEL_ID }}.
- Prefer the strongest configured reasoning model for hard math/proof/complexity/formal tasks.
