cotend-model-upgrade

cotend-model-upgrade is a skill for Codex from lhh1301506137/CoTend. It costs 100 tokens per session (1,318 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A process for evaluating whether a project should use a different AI model, provider, delivery method, or role.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to request stronger-model advice, assess a trial or primary-model change, prepare a takeover or rollback decision, or synchronize an unchanged model with another framework.
Why use it?
It separates advice from an actual transfer of development responsibility and requires evidence for consequential changes.

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

cotend-model-upgrade 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 8d 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.

CoTend Model Upgrade

Version: 1.16

Compatibility baseline: cotend-collaboration-v2.01.

DMU coordinates model/carrier/role changes, premium advice and takeover. It is not CoTend governance, a model selector, a runtime-profile selector or a same- Primary session handoff. An upstream-framework or external-adapter handoff with unchanged model, carrier and role is consumer synchronization, not a model upgrade.

Thin Router

  1. Read references/model-role-contract.md. It owns identity, role, same-Primary and consumer-sync exclusions, depth, independent reasoning, evidence and common stop rules.
  2. Select one base mode. A generic request for stronger-model advice defaults to advisor_guided; a request that may transfer implementation authority is role-sensitive and asks the common contract's one plain-language question unless the user already chose takeover.
Route Trigger Read exactly
advisor_guided Premium model advises while the current Primary keeps execution. references/advisor-guided.md
primary_takeover User explicitly assigns the premium model active development responsibility. references/primary-takeover.md
  1. Read references/framework-thinning-review.md only when a confirmed Primary replacement/rollback triggers thinning, reactivation or a requested runtime-profile assessment. It is a subflow, not a third base mode.
  2. references/packet-templates.md is the short historical compatibility index. Current modes read templates only from their selected reference; never preload all packet templates.

Missing/unreadable required references, an ambiguous role, conflicting identity, insufficient takeover depth, or an unresolved authority boundary fails closed. Do not load another mode to reconstruct the missing contract from memory.

Changes

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.
