model-profile-resolution
Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.
npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill model-profile-resolution --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
- **balanced**: Mix of high and mid-tier models. Good quality at moderate cost. Default profile. - **budget**: Cheapest viable models for all agents. Acceptable quality at minimum cost. The active profile is stored in `.planning/config.json` under the `profile` field, or can be overridden with the `--profile` flag. ## Capabilities ### 1. Read Active Profile Load the current profile from configuration: ```json // .planning/config.json { "profile": "balanced", ... } ``` If no profile is set, default to `balanced`. ### 2. Profile Definitions Each profile maps agent roles to specific models: ```yaml quality: orchestrator: claude-opus-4-6 gsd-planner: claude-opus-4-6 gsd-executor: claude-opus-4-6 gsd-verifier: claude-opus-4-6 gsd-plan-checker: claude-opus-4-6 gsd-phase-researcher: claude-opus-4-6 gsd-project-researcher: claude-opus-4-6 gsd-research-synthesizer: claude-opus-4-6 gsd-roadmapper: claude-opus-4-6 gsd-codebase-mapper: claude-opus-4-6 gsd-debugger: claude-opus-4-6 gsd-integration-checker: claude-opus-4-6 balanced: orchestrator: claude-opus-4-6 gsd-planner: claude-sonnet-4 gsd-executor: claude-sonnet-4 gsd-verifier: claude-sonnet-4 gsd-plan-checker: claude-sonnet-4 gsd-phase-re

What does the model-profile-resolution skill do?
Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill model-profile-resolution --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
