Sets the effort of each main-conversation turn from how demanding its prompt is, rated by Jev (through OpenRouter or TypeSafe) with Haiku as the fallback

Sets the reasoning effort of each turn from how demanding its prompt is. "Thanks" and "rename this variable" go out at low effort, an ordinary fix at medium, and a hard design or debugging prompt at xhigh, instead of every turn paying for the session's one setting.
/plugin install effort-router --marketplace bbarney7/claude-code-mods
Effort sets how much Claude thinks before it answers, and thinking is billed as output, the most expensive tokens. A session left at xhigh thinks just as hard about "yes, do it" as about the bug it was asked to find.
At the first request of each turn, effort-router sends the prompt, with the end of Claude's last reply, to TypeSafe's Jev classifier (typesafe/jev-1.13 on OpenRouter). The reply is there so a bare "yes" is rated by what it agrees to. Jev answers how likely the turn is to be trivial, standard or hard, and every request of that turn goes out at the matching effort. If Jev has no key, fails, or takes more than 2 seconds, Haiku rates the prompt instead.
Changing effort keeps the prompt cache, so routing every turn costs nothing in cache writes. On Opus 5.5, in a 357k-token session, with requests sent at one effort and then another:
| Switch | Read from the cache | Previous prompt | Written to the cache |
|---|---|---|---|
| xhigh to low | 357,365 | 357,367 | 231 |
| low to xhigh | 357,732 | 357,734 | 189 |
Requests with no switch read 100% and wrote 39 to 231 tokens, so a switch looks like any other request. Across the router's own six switches since, the median read was 99.9996% of the previous prompt. Switching models instead starts a new cache and writes the whole conversation again, which is why this routes effort and not models.
Jev answered in 115 to 340 ms in testing. Some of its ratings:
| Prompt | Rating | Effort |
|---|---|---|
| "thanks!" | trivial, 100% | low |
| "rename cnt to count in utils.ts" | trivial, 95% | low |
| "add a --verbose flag to the CLI" | standard, 87% | medium |
| "find the root cause of a production-only memory leak" | hard, 98% | xhigh |
| "yes", answering "fix that typo?" | trivial, 97% | low |
| "yes", answering an offer to build a whole mod | hard, 50% | xhigh |
Haiku answers with one word (trivial, standard or hard). When neither Jev nor Haiku answers, the turn goes out at the when-unsure effort.
Every request of a turn goes out at the same effort. A turn with no prompt of its own, such as a continuation, keeps the effort of the turn before it. Subagents keep their own effort, and a model that takes no effort setting is left alone.
After each prompt the status line shows the decision, such as effort medium · standard · jev trivial 13%, standard 87%, hard 0%.
| Setting | Values | Default |
|---|---|---|
| OpenRouter API key | your OpenRouter key | empty: reads OPENROUTER_API_KEY |
| TypeSafe API key | your TypeSafe key | empty: reads TYPESAFE_API_KEY |
| Preferred Jev service | openrouter, typesafe: used when keys for both are found | openrouter |
| Effort for trivial turns | low, medium, high, xhigh, max | low |
| Effort for standard turns | low, medium, high, xhigh, max | medium |
| Effort for hard turns | low, medium, high, xhigh, max | xhigh |
| Effort when unsure | session (the session's own effort), or any effort | session |
| Rate hard from | 5 to 95% | 40% |
| Rate trivial from | 5 to 99% | 70% |
The key is looked for in that order: the plugin settings, the environment, a key pasted into the settings pane (kept in the macOS Keychain under effort-router), then your login shell. The desktop app doesn't start Claude Code from a shell, so a key exported in ~/.zshrc isn't in its environment; the router asks the shell once per load.
/effort-router/effort-router open the settings pane
/effort-router stats decisions, the key in use, cache reads at switches, output per effort
/effort-router try <prompt> rate a prompt without changing anything
/effort-router off send every turn at the session's own effort
/effort-router on route again
/effort-router reset clear the stats
/effort-router stats prints where things stand: on or off, the current turn's rating, the mapping and thresholds, where the key came from, decisions by classifier and by effort, Jev's median decision time and its recent failures, how much of the previous prompt the cache read at effort switches compared with elsewhere, and the median output tokens per request at each effort. It keeps the last 300 decisions and requests across sessions.
/effort-router opens the effort router pane (beside the conversation on the desktop, in a pane in the terminal):
/effort-router on and off.The pane saves its changes in the mod's own store, so they hold in every session and win over the plugin settings above. (Plugin settings are not /config rows, so a mod cannot write them.) /effort-router try <prompt> shows how a prompt would be rated; the thresholds are changed in the plugin settings. On a phone the pane shows the switch and the current turn only.
