Skill instructions
Model Selection Determines which LLM model to use for each agent spawn. SCOPE ✅ THIS SKILL PRODUCES: - A resolved model parameter for every task tool call - Persistent model preferences in .squad/config.json - Spawn acknowledgments that include the resolved model ❌ THIS SKILL DOES NOT PRODUCE: - Code, tests, or documentation - Model performance benchmarks - Cost reports or billing artifacts Context Squad supports 18+ models across three tiers (premium, standard, fast). The coordinator must select the right model for each agent spawn. Users can set persistent preferences that survive across sessions. 5-Layer Model Resolution Hierarchy Resolution is first-match-wins — the highest layer with a value wins. | Layer | Name | Source | Persistence | |-------|------|--------|-------------| | 0a | Per-Agent Config | .squad/config.json → agentModelOverrides.{name} | Persistent (survives sessions) | | 0b | Global Config | .squad/config.json → defaultModel | Persistent (survives sessions) | | 1 | S
