# Model Route Advisor
Recommend the optimal Claude model for a given task based on Osmani's multi-model
routing principle. Analyzes task complexity, token budget, and parallelization
opportunities to suggest the best model allocation.
**Trigger:** When user types `/model-route` or `/model-route "<task description>"`
## Arguments
- `$ARGUMENTS` — optional task description in quotes. If omitted, prompt the user
to describe what they want to do.
## Policy Context
Check your project's CLAUDE.md for any model selection policy. The routing
recommendation is advisory — it shows what the optimal allocation WOULD be under a
cost-optimized policy. The user decides whether to follow it or stick with their
preferred model.
## Routing Matrix
### Tier 1: Opus (highest capability, highest cost)
**Route to Opus when the task involves:**
- Architecture decisions or system design
- Complex debugging across multiple files
- Security review or adversarial analysis
- Planning and plan-reviewer verification
- Paper writing, scientific argumentation
- Interpreting eval results or research claims
- Self-critic and validation waves
- Any task where a wrong answer is expensive to fix
**Token estimate:** 10K-50K per task (high reasoning depth)
### Tier 2: Sonnet (strong capability, moderate cost)
**Route to Sonnet when the task involves:**
- Implementing a well-defined plan (code already designed)
- Writing boilerplate or mechanical code changes
- Routine refactoring with clear patterns
-
