coaltipple

A model-and-effort router for Claude Code, an AI coding tool. It chooses lower or higher model tiers for delegated tasks and can request consent before using the top tier.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to route delegated coding work, adjust model effort, enforce minimum model levels, and avoid routing when the routing state is invalid.
Why use it?
It helps control token use on large, inexpensive tasks while sending harder tasks to a higher-capability model when needed.

Grade A, and why

coaltipple 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.

100% identical to coaltipple — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

  "description": "CoalTipple — model/effort router for Claude Code. Delegates a task you CAN do but is large+cheap DOWN to a lower tier to save tokens; escalates a task beyond the current tier UP for quality — up to Fable 5, the top rung (a consent-gated, real-money spawn). Two-knob routing (tier × effort, effort-before-tier), an alias-floor tier ranking (haiku<sonnet<opus<fable + modelTiers pins) the platform resolves at spawn-time, a validity-gated ranking Lock that never routes on broken state, and git-optional damage control. Advise-only Phoenix-pure hook; the model performs the routing.",

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.
