Install

/plugin install tier-guard --marketplace steven0224-glitch/chan-mods

Older CLIs: claude plugin marketplace add steven0224-glitch/chan-mods then claude plugin install tier-guard@chan-mods.

Watches model routing against a three-tier rule and tells you when it drifts. Written for my CLAUDE.md §2:

subagentexpected family
deep-reasoneropus
default-workersonnet
task-workerhaiku (effort medium, never low)
built-in Explorenot fable/opus — cheap exploration belongs to task-worker

What it does:

  • Every spawn logs a dim line type → model, with ⚠ … when the tier is wrong.
  • task-worker on effort low toasts once per agent.
  • Mid-session model or effort switch in the main loop toasts 세션 중간 전환 감지: … (switching mid-session re-bills the whole prompt-cache prefix; do it at session start or right after /compact). Tracking resets on compact, /clear, resume and fork.
  • /tier lists the session's spawns, warnings and whether enforce is on.

Config

optiondefaultmeaning
enforcefalsetrue: run Explore on haiku (non-fork spawns) and raise a task-worker request's effort from low to medium. false: warn only
"pluginConfigs": { "tier-guard@chan-mods": { "options": { "enforce": true } } }

Edit hooks/rules.ts to change the expected tiers.
