model-recommendation
Analyze chatmode or prompt files to recommend optimal AI models based on task complexity, capabilities, and cost-efficiency.
- Evaluates
.agent.mdand.prompt.mdfiles across eight task categories (simple repetitive, code generation, refactoring, debugging, planning, code review, domain-specific, advanced reasoning) to determine complexity and reasoning depth requirements - Compares 14 available models (GPT-4.1, GPT-5, Claude Sonnet variants, Gemini, Grok, deprecated o3/o4-mini) using a decision tree that factors in context window size, vision support, code quality, and reasoning capabilities
- Provides primary recommendation plus alternatives with explicit trade-off analysis, cost multiplier implications for Free/Pro/Pro+ subscription tiers, and deprecation migration paths
- Generates structured markdown reports with model comparison tables, auto-selection suitability assessment, frontmatter update guidance, and Context7 verification for current model documentation
AI Model Recommendation for Copilot Chat Modes and Prompts
Mission
Analyze .agent.md or .prompt.md files to understand their purpose, complexity, and required capabilities, then recommend the most suitable AI model(s) from GitHub Copilot's available options. Provide rationale based on task characteristics, model strengths, cost-efficiency, and performance trade-offs.
