How to invoke

/t1k:model-router:delegate
<agent-name> "<task>" --provider <provider> --model <model>

How v2 Works

The kit no longer ships shim agents. The delegation contract is:

bash .claude/scripts/mr-delegate.sh <agent-name> "<task>" --provider <provider> --model <model>

The script:

1. Discovers .claude/agents/<agent-name>.md (cwd → CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR → ~/.claude/agents).
2. Reads frontmatter for permissionMode / maxTurns / maxBudgetUsd (fallback: plan / 25 / $5).
3. Runs claude -p --agent <name> --model <chosen-cheap-model> against the chosen provider.
4. Returns the agent’s text output.

Primary call path is the Task interceptor (hooks/mr-task-interceptor.cjs), not this skill. The flow:

main session → Task(subagent_type="t1k-unity-dots-core-implementer", prompt="...")
            ↓
   PreToolUse hook reads the agent's `model:` frontmatter
            ↓
   matches modelMapping["claude-sonnet-4-6"] → { opencode-go, deepseek-v4-flash }
   (opus-family keys never get here — they hit the kit passthrough floor first)
            ↓
   hook denies the Task, runs mr-delegate.sh, returns output as systemMessage
            ↓
main session sees the cheap result as if Task had succeeded

Engine-kit specialization is preserved: the Unity DOTS agent’s full prompt + tools run, just on Kimi instead of Opus.

When to Use the Explicit Form (this skill)

Most delegation happens automatically via the Task interceptor. Call /t1k:model-router:delegate explicitly only when:

• You’re outside a Task spawn (e.g. running mechanical work from a Bash hook script).
• You want to force a specific (provider, model) that overrides modelMapping.
• You’re debugging — explicit invocation surfaces the full mr-delegate.sh output.

# Force an explicit provider/model, bypassing selection. NOTE: the named model must be
# enabled in providers-config.json — since 2026-08-29 only deepseek-v4-flash is enabled for text.
bash .claude/scripts/mr-delegate.sh t1k-code-reviewer \
  "audit src/auth/ for OWASP Top 10" \
  --provider opencode-go --model deepseek-v4-flash

Model + Provider Selection

When you call the explicit form, YOU pick (provider, model). When the interceptor fires, the mapping picks for you.

1. Read .claude/model-capabilities.md for model strengths/costs.
2. Read .claude/providers-config.json for available providers.
3. Choose the best (provider, model) for task complexity.

Pass via --provider <provider> --model <model> flags. Both required — no defaults.

Model Quick Reference

Need	Model	Provider	Why
Cheapest possible	deepseek-v4-flash	opencode-go	Only enabled budget tier; the shipped modelMapping default
Best balance	deepseek-v4-flash	opencode-go	Sole enabled text target since 2026-08-29
Best reasoning	deepseek-v4-flash	opencode-go	Same model as “Cheapest possible” — the studio narrowed all routing to flash alone (2026-08-25), reasoning capability included
Long context	deepseek-v4-flash	opencode-go	Declares long-context, but 128K — the 1M option went away 2026-08-29
Vision (image blocks)	gpt-5.4-mini	kimi	Head of the vision capability pipe

Every model here is enabled: true in .claude/providers-config.json. Older names still seen in issues and archived design docs — qwen3.5-plus, kimi-k2.5, glm-5.1, glm-5.2, kimi-for-coding, kimi-k2.6, deepseek-v4-pro, minimax-m2.7, the mimo-* family — ship disabled and are not valid --model targets unless a consumer re-enables them locally.

Full details: read .claude/model-capabilities.md.

Safety

Every delegation enforces:

• Tool whitelist from the agent’s own frontmatter (Claude Code respects tools: / disallowedTools:).
• Permission mode read from agent frontmatter; safe fallback (plan) if missing.
• Max turns from agent frontmatter; default 25 if missing.
• Budget cap from agent frontmatter; default $5 if missing.
• Timeout (5 minutes default).
• No nested delegation (MR_SPAWNED guard at both the script and the interceptor).
• Write lock (single write-capable agent at a time when mode=acceptEdits).
• Telemetry (events sent to T1K cloud for monitoring).
• excludeAgents list in t1k-config-mr.json — any agent here is never intercepted (e.g. t1k-architect, t1k-planner for tasks that genuinely need Opus).

Logs & Telemetry

• Local logs: ~/.model-router/calls.jsonl (carries the agent name).
• Tool usage: ~/.model-router/tool-usage.jsonl.
• Worker schema: the existing role column carries the agent name (no migration).
