`ponytail-lite`, `caveman`, `unlazy`, research, debugging, and review.
The skill-forge workflow covers discovery, triggers, package anatomy,
progressive instructions, structural validation, and behavioral iteration.
+The hands-on lab provides a tiny starter project and copy-ready baseline and
+skill-enabled prompts for a short side-by-side exercise.
+An interactive model gearbox separates capability tier from reasoning effort
+across OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini, and every featured skill links to a pinned

+## Model and effort routing
+
+Treat model tier and reasoning effort as separate controls:
+
+| Work shape | Capability tier | Effort baseline |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| Formatting, lookup, narrow edit | Luna / Haiku / Flash-Lite | Low or minimal where supported |
+| Normal implementation and tests | Terra / Sonnet / Flash | Medium |
+| Architecture, orchestration, hard debugging | Sol / Opus / Pro | High |
+
+For Claude Code, `/model opus`, `/model sonnet`, and `/model haiku` switch the
+model alias; `opusplan` can use Opus while planning and Sonnet while executing.
+Claude effort support depends on the active model. For OpenAI GPT-5.6,
+`reasoning.effort` supports `none`, `low`, `medium`, `high`, `xhigh`, and `max`.
+Gemini 3 uses model-specific `thinkingLevel` values, while Gemini 2.5 uses
+`thinkingBudget`. Never assume one provider's control maps exactly to another.
+
+Start with the lightest configuration that passes representative checks. Move
+one knob at a time and compare quality, latency, and cost. See
+[model-routing.md](references/model-routing.md) for official source links and
+copy-ready provider examples.
+
+## Installing the featured skills
+
+The field-kit cards link to commit-pinned public sources. The presentation also
+includes a copy-ready installation request that tells the coding agent to:
+
+1. Detect the host's documented skill location.
+2. Inspect downloaded instructions, scripts, hooks, and permissions first.
+3. Show a source-to-destination plan and existing-file diffs.
+4. Ask for approval before copying files.
+5. Verify final paths, hashes, validation, and actual skill discovery.
+
+Important exceptions: `ponytail-lite` is published as `AGENTS.md`, not a
+conventional skill package; `token-saver` expects a separate RTK binary; and
+`unlazy` includes optional hooks. The prompt does not install binaries or enable
+hooks without separate approval. See [skill-sources.md](references/skill-sources.md)
+for exact commits, package paths, and confidence notes.
+
+## Hands-on lab
+
+The presentation includes a dependency-free starter at
+`hands-on/starter/`. It renders a small task board but intentionally omits the
+All / Open / Done filter.

+
+```bash
+python3 -m http.server 4173
+```
+
+Open [http://localhost:4173/hands-on/starter/](http://localhost:4173/hands-on/starter/).
+In a fresh coding-agent session, copy **Run A — Good prompt** from the
+presentation. Record changed files, dependencies, checks, and evidence. Restore
+the starter, then repeat with **Run B — Good prompt + skills**.
+
+The skill-enabled prompt invokes only two working methods:
+
+- `$ponytail-lite` keeps the implementation native and small;
+- `$webapp-testing` verifies filters, URL state, history navigation,
+ accessibility state, empty state, and mobile layout.
+
+The goal is not to prove that a longer prompt is better. Both prompts define
+the same task contract. Run B adds reusable operating discipline without
+repeating those skill instructions inside the prompt.
+
+Compare:
+
+| Signal | Useful question |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| Files changed | Did the agent stay inside `hands-on/starter/`? |
+| Dependencies | Did it add a library where native APIs were enough? |
+| Verification | Did it actually exercise URL reload and browser history? |
+| Evidence | Did the final response name checks and results? |
+| Complexity | Is the solution proportionate to three tasks and three filters? |

+# Model routing and reasoning controls
+
+Verified against first-party documentation on 2026-09-02. Model catalogs and aliases change; pin production model IDs and re-check the linked compatibility tables before rollout.
+
+## Two independent routing knobs
+
+1. **Model tier** chooses the capability, latency, and cost envelope.
+2. **Effort / thinking control** changes how much reasoning work a supported model performs for one request.
+
+Do not assume that every effort value works with every model or product. Unsupported values may fail, be ignored, or be mapped to another level depending on the client.
+
+## OpenAI
+
+The current GPT-5.6 family exposes the **Sol**, **Terra**, and **Luna** model tiers. Its documented `reasoning.effort` values are `none`, `low`, `medium`, `high`, `xhigh`, and `max`. Availability remains model-specific, so select from the levels shown for the chosen model rather than treating the full list as universal. [OpenAI: latest model guide](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/latest-model)
+
+Use a lower-cost tier and low effort for bounded, mechanical work; raise the model tier or effort for planning, architecture, difficult debugging, and final review. This is routing guidance, not an API guarantee.
+
+## Anthropic Claude
+
+### Model tier
+
+Claude Code provides the aliases `opus`, `sonnet`, and `haiku`: Opus is intended for complex reasoning, Sonnet for everyday coding, and Haiku for simple, fast work. Aliases resolve to provider-dependent recommended versions and can change over time; use a full model ID when reproducibility matters. Claude Code also documents `opusplan`, which uses Opus in plan mode and Sonnet for execution. [Claude Code: model configuration](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/model-config)
+
+Copy-ready Claude Code switches:
+
+```text
+/model opus
+/model sonnet
+/model haiku
+```
+
+At startup, the equivalent documented form is:
+
+```bash
+claude --model opus
+```
+
+### Effort
+
+The Claude API parameter is `output_config.effort`. The documented levels are `low`, `medium`, `high`, `xhigh`, and `max`; `high` is the API default. `xhigh` and `max` have narrower model support, and Haiku 4.5 does not support effort. Effort affects the whole response—including thinking and tool calls—and is a behavioral signal, not a strict token budget. [Anthropic: effort](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/effort)
+
+Documented Python example:
+
+```python
+import anthropic
+
+client = anthropic.Anthropic()
+response = client.messages.create(
+ model="claude-opus-5",
+ max_tokens=4096,
+ output_config={"effort": "medium"},
+ messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Review this implementation plan."}],
+)
+```
+
+Claude Code exposes `/effort`; its available choices depend on the active model. Current Claude Code documentation lists `low`, `medium`, `high`, `xhigh`, and `max` for supported Opus versions, while some Opus/Sonnet versions omit `xhigh`. When a selected level is unsupported, Claude Code can fall back to the highest supported level at or below it. [Claude Code: effort compatibility](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/model-config#adjust-effort-level)
+
+## Google Gemini
+
+### Model tier
+
+Gemini uses model families rather than interchangeable aliases: **Pro** targets the most complex reasoning, **Flash** balances capability and throughput, and **Flash-Lite** prioritizes latency, volume, and cost. Select an explicit endpoint such as `gemini-3.7-flash`; Google recommends stable model names for most production applications because `latest` aliases can be hot-swapped. [Gemini API: models](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/models)
+
+### Thinking level
+
+For Gemini 3 models, the control is `thinkingLevel` in SDKs (`thinking_level` in Python). Across the family the documented values are `minimal`, `low`, `medium`, and `high`, but support and defaults vary by model. For example, Gemini 3.7 Flash supports `low`, `medium`, and `high` and defaults to `medium`; Gemini 3.1 Pro supports `low`, `medium`, and `high` and defaults to `high`. `minimal` is unavailable on several models and does not guarantee that reasoning is completely off where supported. Gemini 2.5 uses `thinkingBudget`, not `thinkingLevel`. [Gemini API: thinking](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/thinking)
+
+Documented JavaScript pattern:
+
+```javascript
+import { GoogleGenAI, ThinkingLevel } from "@google/genai";
+
+const ai = new GoogleGenAI({});
+const response = await ai.models.generateContent({
+ model: "gemini-3.7-flash",
+ contents: "Review this implementation plan.",
+ config: {
+ thinkingConfig: {
+ thinkingLevel: ThinkingLevel.LOW,
+ },
+ },
+});
+
+console.log(response.text);
+```
+
+## Practical routing baseline
+
+| Work | Model tier | Effort / thinking |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Formatting, lookup, narrow edit | Haiku / Flash-Lite / Luna | Low or minimal where supported |
+| Normal implementation, tests, review | Sonnet / Flash / Terra | Medium |
+| Architecture, orchestration, hard debugging | Opus / Pro / Sol | High |
+| Frontier or long-horizon work with measured benefit | Strongest supported tier | `xhigh` or `max` only where documented |
+
+Treat this table as a starting hypothesis. Evaluate quality, latency, and cost on representative tasks, then route to the cheapest combination that still passes the required checks.

+Workflow:
+1. Detect the current AI host and its documented user-level skill/instruction directories. Do not guess paths.
+2. Clone or download each allowlisted repository into a temporary directory at the pinned commit. Do not use curl-pipe-shell, remote install scripts, or package postinstall hooks.
+3. Before changing anything, inspect each selected SKILL.md or AGENTS.md plus every referenced script, hook, executable, and license. Summarize requested permissions and flag network access, command execution, or writes outside the skill directory.
+4. Show the exact source-to-destination copy plan and ask me to approve it. Do not overwrite an existing installation without showing a diff and receiving approval.
+5. After approval, copy only the allowlisted directories/files. Preserve complete packages when their SKILL.md references local resources. Install ponytail-lite/AGENTS.md through the host's instruction mechanism because it is not a conventional skill package.
+6. Do not enable unlazy hooks. Do not install the RTK binary required by token-saver. Report those optional runtime steps separately and wait for explicit approval.
+7. Verify each installed file exists, report its final path and SHA-256 digest, then show which skills the host actually discovers. Never claim success from an installer exit code alone.
+```
+
+## Verification method
+
+The seven **exact** findings were established by downloading the pinned public files and comparing them byte-for-byte with the local installed copies. For `caveman`, the local wrapper was compared against both the repository-level instructions and public `skills/caveman/SKILL.md`; neither matched, so only its upstream family is attributed, not the wrapper itself.
