self-decide

name	self-decide
description	Route Codex work to lower-cost or higher-quality model profiles based on task difficulty and risk.

Use Self Decide before choosing an execution profile for a prompt, subagent task, skill call, or tool-heavy phase.

Routing policy:

• Easy, narrow, reversible tasks should use the cheap profile.
• Medium coding tasks should use the balanced profile.
• Hard, broad, risky, production, migration, security, privacy, financial, legal, or medical tasks must use the quality profile.
• If classification confidence is low, prefer the quality profile.
• Do not change tool permissions or bypass approval policy.

When the user asks for an explanation, run:

self-decide classify --text "<task>" --pretty

If self-decide is unavailable, explain that the Python package must be installed from the repository with:

python -m pip install -e .
