model-hierarchy

Cost-optimize AI agent operations by routing tasks to appropriate models based on complexity. Use this skill when: (1) deciding which model to use for a task, (2) spawning sub-agents, (3) considering cost efficiency, (4) the current model feels like overkill for the task. Triggers: "model routing", "cost optimization", "which model", "too expensive", "spawn agent".

Use the model-hierarchy skill to classify each of these task descriptions as routine, moderate, or complex and recommend the cheapest suitable model tier for each. Briefly explain each classification. Flag any task involving screenshots, photos, charts, or other image input so it is not assigned to a text-only model. Task descriptions: <paste a small list of tasks here>.

Required inputs

A small list of task descriptions replacing <paste a small list of tasks here>
Whether any task requires image or other visual input, if that is not clear from its description
