At a glance

A skill your agent uses when routing model requests through an externally running role-model runtime, inspecting role-model aliases, or diagnosing the role-model provider route.

  • Routing model requests through an externally running role-model runtime
  • SKILL.md covers Start here, Model selection, Request diagnostics and Intent metadata, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Inspecting role-model aliases

What it does

Role Model is an agent skill from try-works/role-model. Use when routing model requests through an externally running role-model runtime, inspecting role-model aliases, or diagnosing the role-model provider route.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: role-model is a protocol for assigning the right model for the right job. Use local and cloud AI together, or route between several cloud providers.

When your agent uses it

  • Routing model requests through an externally running role-model runtime
  • Inspecting role-model aliases
  • Diagnosing the role-model provider route

Example prompts

  • “/role-model”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit de1c04a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Role Model loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 584 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 584 words (~1,088 tokens).

“Use this skill when the work should route through a role-model runtime.”
