# Route Prompts to a Chosen Claude Model

Automatic model selection can pick a different model than the user intended. This skill lets users explicitly route a prompt to Haiku, Sonnet, or Opus.

## Install

```bash
npx skillstore add 0xrdan/route

## Capabilities

- Parses the first argument as a requested model alias.
- Supports haiku, fast, sonnet, standard, opus, and deep aliases.
- Routes requests to fast, standard, or deep executor subagents.
- Preserves the remaining user query for the selected executor.
- Shows usage help when the model alias is missing or invalid.
- Labels the response with the model used.

## Use Cases

- Control Model Cost: Route simple requests to Haiku when speed and cost matter more than deep reasoning.
- Standardize Team Workflows: Send normal coding tasks to Sonnet so team members use a consistent default model.
- Force Deep Review: Route architecture, security, or design reviews to Opus when the task needs deeper analysis.

## Prompt Templates

### Route a Quick Summary

```
/route haiku Summarize this issue in three direct bullets.
```

### Route a Coding Task

```
/route sonnet Review this component and suggest focused improvements.
```

### Route a Deep Analysis

```
/route opus Analyze this authentication flow for design risks and missing checks.
```

### Use Alias-Based Routing

```
/route deep Compare these migration options and recommend a rollout plan.
```

## Limitations

- It does not choose a model automatically.
- It depends on matching executor subagents being available.
- It only supports Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus model classes.
- It does not estimate cost, latency, or policy impact.

## Best Practices

- Choose Haiku for simple tasks that need fast responses.
- Choose Sonnet for routine coding, documentation, and review work.
- Choose Opus for complex analysis where accuracy matters more than cost.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not expect the skill to classify task complexity automatically.
- Do not use the most capable model for every short request.
- Do not use routing instructions to bypass platform safety requirements.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-04T14:13:55.18\+00:00
- Summary: All static findings were false positives caused by Markdown code fences, inline code labels, and usage examples. No executable code, network access, filesystem access, environment reads, prompt injection attempt, or data exfiltration intent was found in SKILL.md.
