💰 Intelligent 3-Tier Model Routing

Not every task needs the most powerful (and expensive) model. Ruflo analyzes each request and automatically routes it to the cheapest handler that can do the job well. Simple code transforms skip the LLM entirely using WebAssembly. Medium tasks use faster, cheaper models. Only complex architecture decisions use Opus.

Cost & Usage Benefits:

Benefit	Impact
💵 API Cost Reduction	75% lower costs by using right-sized models
⏱️ Claude Max Extension	More tasks within quota via smart model selection
🚀 Faster Simple Tasks	<1ms for transforms vs 2-5s with LLM
🎯 Zero Wasted Tokens	Simple edits use 0 tokens (WASM handles them)

Routing Tiers:

Tier	Handler	Latency	Cost	Use Cases
1	Agent Booster (WASM)	<1ms	$0	Simple transforms: var→const, add-types, remove-console
2	Haiku/Sonnet	500ms-2s	$0.0002-$0.003	Bug fixes, refactoring, feature implementation
3	Opus	2-5s	$0.015	Architecture, security design, distributed systems
