compute-ladder
Automatically escalate Claude's reasoning effort for hard tasks and delegate mechanical work to lower-cost models.
What is compute-ladder?
Routes Claude Code's compute intelligently by escalating to higher-effort reasoning when tasks are genuinely difficult, delegating large mechanical jobs to Sonnet for cost efficiency, and reporting routing decisions. Use this to optimize compute spend while maintaining solution quality.
- Automatically escalates reasoning effort mid-turn when Claude detects a task is genuinely hard
- Delegates large mechanical or repetitive jobs to Sonnet for cost-efficient processing
- Guards against accidental downgrades in model capability
- Reports routing decisions and compute allocation for transparency
- Optimizes cost-to-quality tradeoff by matching task difficulty to appropriate model tier
