Developer implements AI model routing to cut costs and improve task handling

A developer has implemented a routing system within their development workflow to optimize the use of different Claude AI models based on task complexity. This system, defined in a ROUTING.md file, classifies tasks into nine categories (R1-R9) and assigns them to appropriate models, ranging from the cost-effective Haiku 4.5 to the premium Fable model. The goal is to prevent expensive models from handling simple tasks and to ensure that critical operations like database migrations are only performed by top-tier models with human confirmation. AI

IMPACT Optimizes AI model usage for cost-efficiency and task appropriateness, potentially influencing how developers integrate and manage LLMs in their workflows.

RANK_REASON Developer-created workflow optimization for AI model usage.
