Model Selector

model-selector

Recommends the optimal Claude model and effort level for the current task, helping you balance cost, speed, and quality without thinking about it.

What it does

At the start of tasks (or on demand), evaluates what you're trying to do and recommends:

• Which model to use: Haiku / Sonnet / Opus
• What effort level to apply: low / medium / high / max
• The exact /model command to switch if needed

Installation

/plugin marketplace add spoland/claude-marketplace
/plugin install model-selector@claude-marketplace --scope user

Usage

Invoke the skill explicitly by asking "which model should I use for this?" or by asking to use the most appropriate model for a task. You can also run /skill model-selector:model-selector to trigger it on demand.
