WHAT — Recommend the most cost-effective LLM provider for a given task type. Shows estimated.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# LLM Cost Advisor (WHAT) Recommend the right provider for the task at hand — balancing quality, cost, and privacy. ## When to use - User asks "which model should I use for X?" - Before scheduling expensive loops (pr-babysitter, ci-sweeper) - When dev-companion jobs are unexpectedly expensive - When choosing between local and cloud providers for sensitive work ## Out of scope - Does NOT configure providers — that's done via env vars and `loadenv` - Does NOT run LLM calls — it advises, the runner executes ## Workflow **Step 1 — Check available providers:** ```bash devcompanion llm-status ``` **Step 2 — Classify the task:** | Task type | Recommended tier | Why | |-----------|-----------------|-----| | Interactive code review, planning, debugging | Claude Sonnet / GPT-4o | Reasoning quality matters | | Batch labeling, summarization, triage | Claude Haiku / GPT-4o-mini | High volume, lower stakes | | Private/sensitive codebase work | Ollama or OpenCode | Stays local, zero cost | | Loop L1 (observation only) | Haiku / GPT-4o-mini | Low stakes, runs daily | | Loop L2 (PR creation) | Sonnet | Creates external artifacts | …

How to install
mdr add ulises-jeremias/agent-toolkit/llm-cost-advisor@sha256:a2618beaa3167940The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
