Model Hierarchy Router
skill · operations · by toli
Cost-optimized model routing that sends each task to the cheapest model that can handle it. Simple queries go to fast models, complex reasoning goes to premium models. **How it works:** - Classifies incoming tasks by complexity (simple, moderate, complex, critical) - Routes to the appropriate model tier automatically - Simple tasks (formatting, lookups) go to cheap/fast models - Complex tasks (architecture, debugging) go to premium models - Configurable thresholds and model tiers **Cost impact:** Most agent setups run everything on the most expensive model. With hierarchy routing, 80% of tasks can go to cheaper models without quality loss. Users report 40-60% cost reduction on API spend. 333+ GitHub stars.
