self-decide

Use Self Decide before choosing a model or effort level for user prompts, subagent tasks, skill calls, and tool-heavy phases.

Routing policy:

• Easy, narrow, reversible tasks should use the cheap profile.
• Medium coding tasks should use the balanced profile.
• Hard, broad, risky, production, migration, security, privacy, financial, legal, or medical tasks must use the quality profile.
• If classification confidence is low, prefer the quality profile.
• Do not change tool permissions or bypass approval policy.

Run this for an explicit routing explanation:

self-decide classify --text "<task>" --pretty

If self-decide is unavailable, install the repository package:

python -m pip install -e .
