skill-model-effort — piclaw-addons

Open Settings → Add-Ons and pick skill-model-effort

First-party Piclaw packaging of Rob Zolkos's MIT-licensed pi-skill-model-effort extension.

This add-on honors optional skill frontmatter keys at runtime:

effort and thinking are mutually exclusive. If both are present, the add-on leaves thinking unchanged and shows a warning.

Skill frontmatter example

yaml

---
name: code-review
description: Review code for correctness and maintainability.
model: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5
effort: high
---

Supported thinking values: off, minimal, low, medium, high, xhigh. max is accepted as an alias for xhigh.

Explicit /skill:name invocations apply the override as soon as Piclaw receives the raw slash command.
Automatically selected skills apply after Piclaw reads that skill's SKILL.md; the next LLM turn in the same run uses the override.
Model/thinking settings are restored at agent end.
model: inherit is treated as no model override.
