Manual Model Router

Override automatic model selection and force a specific Claude model for your query.

Usage

/route <model> <query>

Where <model> is one of:

haiku or fast - Use Haiku for simple, quick tasks
sonnet or standard - Use Sonnet for typical coding tasks
opus or deep - Use Opus for complex analysis

Instructions

CRITICAL: The user's explicit model choice MUST be honored. Do NOT override, reclassify, or second-guess their selection. This is a MANUAL OVERRIDE command - the entire point is to bypass automatic classification.

Parse $ARGUMENTS to extract the model and query:

Extract model - The first word is the model name (case-insensitive: haiku/fast, sonnet/standard, opus/deep)
Extract query - Everything after the model name is the query to execute
Validate - If no valid model is specified, show usage help
Route IMMEDIATELY - Use the Task tool to spawn the appropriate subagent:
haiku/fast -> spawn "fast-executor" subagent with model: haiku
sonnet/standard -> spawn "standard-executor" subagent with model: sonnet
opus/deep -> spawn "deep-executor" subagent with model: opus
Return - Prefix the response with the model used

DO NOT:

Analyze query complexity
Suggest a "better" model
Classify the query
Override the user's choice for any reason

The user said which model. Use that model. Period.

Model Mapping

| Argument | Executor | Model |

|----------|----------|-------|

| haiku or fast | fast-executor | Haiku |

| sonnet or standard | standard-executor | Sonnet |

| opus or deep | deep-executor | Opus |

Examples

Force Opus for a simple question

/route opus What's the syntax for a TypeScript interface?

Result: Routes to Opus (deep-executor) regardless of query complexity.

Force Haiku for any task

/route haiku Fix the authentication bug in login.ts

Result: Routes to Haiku (fast-executor) for cost savings.

Force Sonnet explicitly

/route sonnet Design a caching system

Result: Routes to Sonnet (standard-executor).

Error Handling

If the user doesn't provide a valid model, respond with:

Usage: /route <model> <query>

Models:
  haiku, fast     - Quick, simple tasks (cheapest)
  sonnet, standard - Typical coding tasks (default)
  opus, deep      - Complex analysis (most capable)

Example: /route opus Analyze the security of this authentication flow

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take aiskillstore/route from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
