model-routing

model-routing is a skill for Claude Code from vsladkov/claudex-stereo. It costs 23 tokens per session (5,521 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of rules for routing different coding tasks to selected Claude or Codex agents during Stereo workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps coordinate planning, implementation, review, validation, and background jobs across named agents.
Why use it?
It removes ambiguity about which agent or model should handle each workflow step and how results are passed along.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Part of the stereo plugin — 4 skills, 15 commands, 13 agents, 3 hooks shipped together

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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 408 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Model Routing

Apply these rules whenever a Stereo command routes a planner, reviewer, implementer, or adversarial reviewer. Let the command's step-specific prompts and loop rules override generic wording here.

Model addressing

Interpret selections as follows:

Selection Route
claude:session Run inline in the current Claude session
claude:inherit Run the named foreground agent with the model parameter omitted
claude:sonnet Run the named foreground agent with model: "sonnet"
claude:opus Run the named foreground agent with model: "opus"
claude:haiku Run the named foreground agent with model: "haiku"
claude:fable Run the named foreground agent with model: "fable"
claude:opus-4.8 Run the role's -opus-4-8 agent twin (stereo:planner-opus-4-8, stereo:plan-reviewer-opus-4-8, stereo:implementer-opus-4-8, stereo:implementation-reviewer-opus-4-8, stereo:reviewer-opus-4-8, stereo:adversarial-reviewer-opus-4-8) with the model parameter omitted; those definitions pin claude-opus-4-8
codex:<selection> The written form for Codex-side models; pass it to the companion unchanged — it strips exactly one leading codex: prefix
Anything else A bare Codex selection, equivalent to its codex: form; pass it to the companion unchanged

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.
