How to use

It starts with the picker off: it only tracks cost. Pick openai or jev under Picker in /config and add a key, then try Mode suggest for a few days before auto. See every subagent with its pick and cost:

/route

How it behaves

• A named model is kept. When you or your CLAUDE.md name a model for a subagent, switchboard leaves it alone. Only a subagent with no model named gets a pick.
• Only the label goes out. The picker gets the subagent's type and its 3 to 5 word label, never its task text, so code, paths and pasted keys never leave your machine.
• Pickers: OpenAI's Decisions API (about $0.00003 a pick) or Jev (about $0.00001 a pick, direct or through Vercel AI Gateway).
• Models: haiku-sonnet-opus (default) or sonnet-opus-fable. Style: saver, the cheapest model that will do the job well, or quality.
• No picker, no key or no answer within 4 s: nothing changes, and /route says why. Under 50% sure, it shows the pick but keeps the model.
• Leaves forks and teammates alone. Costs are estimates at API prices, not what your plan charges.
