# Select Coder

> Use when choosing which coder agent and model should execute a coding task — e.g. "which model should implement this", "pick the best coder for these packets", "what's the cheapest model that can handle X", or /select-coder. Scores the task against a capability matrix (correctness, speed, cost, context, creativity, autonomy, verification behavior, secret exposure, containment) and the locally available agents/models, then recommends ranked <backend:<model specs. Works standalone or as a subagent; orchestrate-coders uses it for per-packet assignment overrides.
