Route queries to the right model tier. Save money without thinking about it.

v1.0.2

Built and dogfooded by CertainLogicAI — Keyword routing. Not AI. Not magic. Just cheaper.

Part of the CertainLogic Stack

This skill works standalone. You don't need anything else to start saving money on LLM calls.

Works even better with Company Brain Core OS (clawhub install company-brain-os):

• Brain stores your routing patterns and learns from usage
• TRE (Token Reduction Engine) — catches deterministic queries before they hit the router
• AgentPathfinder — audits which routing decisions led to good outcomes

All three are independent. Pick the one that solves your problem. Add others when you need them.

How It Works

Smart Router uses keyword-based routing to decide which LLM tier to hit:

Tier	Model	Price	Best For
Fast	GPT-4o-mini / Haiku	$0.15/million tokens	Simple queries, coding, classification
Standard	GPT-4o / Sonnet	$2.50/million tokens	Complex reasoning, analysis
Deep	GPT-4o-latest / Opus	$15.00/million tokens	Critical decisions, audits

Example Routing Rules

# Simple routing rules
"code review" → fast          # 90% of code reviews don't need deep reasoning
"security audit" → deep       # Always use best model for security
"summarize" → fast            # Summarization is perfect for cheap models
"compare alternatives" → standard  # Needs reasoning, not maximum depth

Cost Savings

Without Router: All queries go to GPT-4o → $2.50/million tokens With Router: 70% fast + 25% standard + 5% deep → ~$0.80/million tokens

Savings: ~70% on token costs (measured on our internal workload)

Standalone Usage

clawhub install certainlogic-smart-router

Then in your agent config:

smart_router:
  default_tier: standard
  rules:
    - pattern: "review|check|validate"
      tier: fast
    - pattern: "audit|security|critical"
      tier: deep
    - pattern: "compare|analyze|choose"
      tier: standard

Integration with Company Brain Core OS

When Brain is installed, Smart Router gets smarter:

• Cached queries → skips router entirely (0 cost)
• Known patterns → Brain remembers which tier worked best for each query type
• Query classification → Brain's intent classifier improves routing accuracy

# Install both
clawhub install company-brain-os certainlogic-smart-router

# Brain learns from router decisions, router improves from brain cache
