model-plan SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed, one of 3 indexed copies. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

model-plan from modelplan/modelplan is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add modelplan/modelplan/model-plan@git:20261031.93ef324

Pins git:20261031.93ef324 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Choose an AI coding model and reasoning effort, show what each step up buys and costs as a multiplier, and plan around the user's own remaining quota and reset times (Claude Code, Codex, other coding plans) using ModelPlan's live published data. Use when the user asks which model or effort to use, whether a stronger model, a higher effort or fast mode is worth it, how to pace a subscription, or when their limits or public Codex resets happen.

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

# ModelPlan

Answer with live ModelPlan data (modelplan.ai), never with remembered rankings or prices. This Skill needs a shell and anonymous HTTPS. No account, key or MCP server is involved, and nothing about the user leaves the machine. Read [reference.md](reference.md) for commands, fields and edge cases before the lookup you need.

## 1. Get the data

With the `modelplan` CLI (`command -v modelplan`, else `~/.local/bin/modelplan` or the bundled plugin copy at `~/.cache/modelplan-cli/modelplan`):

```sh
modelplan sync                                   # once per answer; later reads are offline
modelplan effort '<model>' --json --offline      # one model's effort ladder
modelplan lineup --dev <maker> --json --offline  # a maker's models at their ★ effort
modelplan windows --plan <id> --json             # public time rates, cache only (if --help lists it)
modelplan quota --json                           # the user's own windows, read locally
modelplan advise --json                          # what is worth saying about them now (v0.4+)
```

Without it the Skill still works, and the published data is the same:

```sh
curl -fsS --max-time 20 https://modelplan.ai/v1/client
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add modelplan/modelplan/model-plan@sha256:699e427299673fea

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.93ef324, 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.
