routerbase-model-routing

routerbase-model-routing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from YangsonHung/awesome-agent-skills. It costs 26 tokens per session (336 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning tool for choosing RouterBase models for chat, coding, reasoning, vision, and other workloads through one OpenAI-compatible connection.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create model shortlists, primary and fallback chains, routing policies, and validation checklists for production applications or agent workflows.
Why use it?
It helps balance quality, cost, response time, context size, and availability, including what should happen when a provider fails.

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

routerbase-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 11d 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

RouterBase Model Routing

Overview

Use routerbase to plan model selection behind one OpenAI-compatible integration surface. This skill turns workload requirements into a practical model shortlist, fallback chain, cost and latency policy, and validation checklist.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks for:

  • Choosing RouterBase models for chat, coding, reasoning, vision, or multimodal workloads
  • Designing fallback chains for provider outages or degraded quality
  • Balancing cost, latency, context length, output quality, and availability
  • Documenting model routing rules for production applications or agent workflows
  • Creating a validation plan for model behavior before rollout

Do not use

Do not use this skill for:

  • Claiming exact pricing, availability, or model performance without checking current source data
  • Recommending a single model without stating assumptions and fallback behavior
  • Hiding routing changes from the application owner or production operator

Instructions

  1. Clarify workload type, quality threshold, latency budget, context size, expected traffic, and failure tolerance.
  2. Group candidate models by capability and role: primary, economical fallback, high-quality fallback, and specialized fallback.
  3. State routing assumptions clearly and mark any values that require current catalog or pricing verification.
  4. Recommend small rollout steps: test prompts, golden cases, logging, retry policy, rate limit handling, and rollback criteria.
  5. Keep examples OpenAI-compatible where possible so the application integration stays portable.
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.
