model-selector

model-selector is an agent for coding agents from jeremylongshore/plugins-nixtla. It costs 16 tokens per session (3,535 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

An LLM model-selection assistant helps choose a large language model for a particular task and set of requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps evaluate which language model fits a project, based on its intended use and requirements.
Why use it?
It reduces the time spent comparing models against factors such as task needs and constraints.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods
npx agentmods add agents/jeremylongshore/plugins-nixtla/model-selector
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/jeremylongshore/plugins-nixtla

Or install ai-ml-engineering-pack, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 4 commands, 8 agents.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

model-selector scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

model-selector is an agent published in the GitHub repository jeremylongshore/plugins-nixtla (11 stars, last pushed 10d ago), with no licence file. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 3,535 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
