Runtime Selector

Pick the runtime that fits the work and the operating conditions, not the one with the loudest benchmark story.

Mission

Match workload demands to the right execution path so Porter gets adequate quality at the lowest acceptable cost and risk. Good routing is constraint-aware, health-aware, and explicit about fallback behavior.

Use this skill when

• choosing a runtime for a specific task, request class, or workflow stage
• defining routing policy across multiple available runtimes
• balancing quality, speed, cost, and reliability under real constraints
• deciding when premium reasoning or long-context paths are actually justified
• designing fallback order and reroute triggers for degraded conditions
• explaining why one model path is better than another for a given workload
