Claude Code plugin that routes each prompt, step, and subagent to the cheapest capable Claude model.

Automated README summary

Automatically summarized from the README on 23 Oct 2026; not a run by jevbooks. Run instructions and author-reported outcomes still need verification.

What it is

jev-router is a free Claude Code plugin for developers who want to cut Claude costs. It automatically picks Haiku, Sonnet, Opus, or Fable per prompt, step, and subagent, caps reasoning effort, and shows picks in a live status band.

How it uses Jev

Jev decides which Claude model and reasoning effort to use for each prompt, step, and subagent. The plugin sends the prompt, optional recent messages, and subagent task text to the System One API, then uses the returned choice to route the request and enforce an effort cap.

Primitives:choice

Technique worth stealing

Use a System One model to pick the cheapest capable Claude model and cap reasoning effort per prompt, step, and subagent.

Try it

Install via /plugin marketplace add dominicrico/jev-router and /plugin install jev-router@jev-router, then /jev key and /jev status.

Model judgments from README excerpts

Project signals use repository metadata, an existing summary and the first 700 README characters, not the full project. “Not found” means not detected in that material; it does not establish absence. These are the original judgments with recorded models and dates, not source audits or run results.

Evidence

These signals use repository metadata, an existing summary and at most 700 cleaned README characters. ≥ 0.60 means reported in that excerpt; ≤ 0.40 means not found there. The middle band is inconclusive. None is a source-code audit or a test result. The runnable-tool question excludes research experiments; the recommendation question asks for a learning shortlist, not a quality verdict.
