The problem

  • AI agents often use one expensive model for everything.
  • Simple writing, summarization, and formatting tasks do not always need premium reasoning models.
  • Teams need better visibility into model cost and routing decisions.

The solution

  • SkillRouter detects the skill behind each task.
  • It ranks models by sharpness, cost effectiveness, speed, context fit, and reliability.
  • It recommends the cheapest model that is good enough.
  • It provides route receipts so teams know why a model was selected.

Everything a routing layer needs

SkillRouter handles skill detection, model ranking, and cost tracking so your agents don't have to.

Skill Detection

SkillRouter reads each task and detects the skills it actually requires — planning, writing, coding, review, and more.

Cost-Aware Routing

Every route is scored on cost effectiveness, so simple tasks stop paying premium-model prices.

Model Ranking

Models are ranked by sharpness, speed, context fit, and reliability, not just benchmark hype.

Fallback Policies

Routing policies define acceptable fallbacks, so a route never fails silently when a model is unavailable.

Route Receipts

Every recommendation comes with a route receipt explaining exactly why a model was selected.

Agent-Ready Architecture

Built as a routing layer your agents can call directly, not a chat UI bolted onto a single model.

How it works

1

Describe the task

Paste in the task your agent needs to complete, in plain language.

2

SkillRouter detects the skills

SkillRouter parses the task and identifies the skills it requires.

3

Get the best model route

Each skill is routed to the best model for quality, cost, speed, and context fit.

Stop treating every task the same

Traditional agent

  • One model for every task
  • Higher cost
  • Less visibility
  • Manual model choice

SkillRouter

  • Model per skill
  • Lower cost
  • Explainable route receipts
  • Policy-based recommendations

Stop wasting premium models on cheap tasks.
