model-selection

100 / 100 · Low risk

Fine to try.

By nimadorostkar/Claude-Skills-collection (GitHub) · data · 36 stars · scanned at commit 1691932

Use when choosing which LLM to use for a task. Covers matching capability to task, cost and latency trade-offs, routing between models, benchmark skepticism, and evaluating on your own data. Trigger on "which model should i use for this", "is the new model worth switching to", "route easy requests to a cheaper model". Do not use for building the evaluation set itself — see the llm-evaluation skill; for cutting token spend, see the llm-cost-optimization skill.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'model-selection' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'model-selection' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named model-selection already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/nimadorostkar/Claude-Skills-collection' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '1691932edc17063d712a85d02bcc7a1cd3791057' -- 'skills/ai/model-selection' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/ai/model-selection' ~/.agents/skills/'model-selection' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'model-selection' ~/.claude/skills/'model-selection' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
