frugal

Cost-optimised task routing. Use at the start of any coding, search, extraction, review, or multi-step task to pick the cheapest execution strategy (deterministic tool, haiku worker, sonnet worker, main model, fable worker) and to handle escalation when a worker fails. Also triggers on mentions of cost, budget, routing, or delegation.

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".

Wire the frugal savings segment into the user's Claude Code statusline - creates a minimal statusline if none exists, or merges the segment into an existing one.

Report frugal routing metrics - cost per agent tier, escalation rate, and estimated savings versus running everything on the top-tier model.
