At a glance

A skill your agent uses when Pi should route model requests through a locally running Role-Model runtime, inspect Role-Model aliases, or diagnose Role-Model provider setup.

  • Pi should route model requests through a locally running Role-Model runtime
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Inspect Role-Model aliases
  • Diagnose Role-Model provider setup

What it does

Role Model is an agent skill from try-works/role-model. Use when Pi should route model requests through a locally running Role-Model runtime, inspect Role-Model aliases, or diagnose Role-Model provider setup.

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

  • Pi should route model requests through a locally running Role-Model runtime
  • Inspect Role-Model aliases
  • Diagnose Role-Model provider setup

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 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 617 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
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 617 words (~1,147 tokens).

“Use this skill when the user wants Pi to use Role-Model as the routing provider.”
