README

Usage in the status line, spend warnings, cheaper models for subagents.

Shows 5h NN% | ctx NN% in the status line, toasts once when your 5-hour usage passes 70% and 85%, and picks haiku/sonnet/opus for subagents that were given no model, based on keywords in their task. Explicit models are never overridden.

Install

/plugin marketplace add cloudcruncher/claude-mod-garage
/plugin install cost-router@mod-garage

Run /reload-plugins (or restart Claude Code) afterwards. To try it from a local clone without installing: claude --plugin-dir ./dev-mods/cost-router

Use it

Automatic once installed.

What you'll see

Illustrative output.

Status line

5h 62% | ctx 34%

Toast

5h usage passed 70% (now 71%)

Notes

With no subscription rate-limit data, values show as n/a and no toasts fire.
