Model Selection Router

skill

- Route every AI job to the cheapest model that survives review, and stop defaulting to the frontier out of habit. Use whenever someone asks "which model should I use", "is the expensive model worth it", "should we switch models", "a new model came out — do we move?", "the benchmark says X is best", "we're overpaying for AI", "what should our default model be", or wants help with model routing, tiering, or per-task model assignment. Also fires on: choosing reasoning-effort settings, building a personal eval set, fighting a bad corporate default model with evidence, triaging an agent/tool launch, or spec'ing a whole job for an expensive frontier run. …

Security audit

Not scanned yet. We audit npm-published capabilities for known advisories, install-time scripts and permission surface; this one has no npm package we can resolve, or has not reached the queue.

Its own instructions

Its SKILL.md covers setup.

Read from the capability’s own SKILL.md. This is not a grade and does not compare to the instruction-depth verdict on an MCP server — a skill has no tools to document, so that rubric does not apply to it.

You searched for one. Check the rest of your stack:

npx tashan-cli doctor

Reads the config already on your machine and names what is dead, deprecated or running code at install time. No account, nothing uploaded.

tashan Pro$6/mo

Pro adds the history to tashan doctor, so a run over your own config says which of yours gained an advisory, started running an install script, or lost its last maintainer — and what to move to.

Everything on this page is public evidence and free. What it cannot know is whether you run this — check your whole config, free, in the browser. tashan Pro adds the series behind each row and names a replacement for anything dying.

Already running this? Check your whole config — free, in your browser, nothing installed. Or npx tashan-cli doctor locally, which sends nothing at all.
