model-routing is a skill for Claude Code from ihudak/ihudak-claude-plugins. It costs 194 tokens per session (315 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow rule set that classifies a coding task as simple, moderate, significant, or high-risk and selects a fallback chain of language models. It is used by several development pipeline commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps route implementation, documentation, planning, release-note, security, and related tasks to an appropriate model.
Why use it?
It removes the need to judge task difficulty and choose a model separately for each workflow step.

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-routing 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 23d 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.

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.

What it actually says

Model routing

Read the authoritative classification rules and model fallback chain:

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/model-routing/classification.md

Then classify the current task as exactly one of SIMPLE, MODERATE, SIGNIFICANT, or HIGH-RISK using the criteria in that file, and apply the model fallback chain and model_routing handoff block it defines. That file is the single source of truth — do not paraphrase or cache its contents here.

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.
