agent-model-selection

agent-model-selection is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AllanWessels/Bratan. It costs 32 tokens per session (672 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A skill for choosing a model explicitly when sending work to sub-agents. Sub-agents are separate agent processes that handle delegated tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when dispatching sub-agents so simpler tasks can use suitable models and stronger models can be reserved for genuinely difficult work.
Why use it?
It avoids automatically giving every delegated task the parent's default model, which can use a stronger and more costly model than needed.

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

agent-model-selection scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 5d ago.

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.

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.
