Model management

Context: My search to Claude Code
do commands in superclaude namespace (like `/sc:*`) do model management?

⏺ No, /sc:* commands don't handle model management. SuperClaude is focused on workflow orchestration, code/task operations, and analysis — not model configuration.
For model management in Claude Code, use:
- /model — switch models interactively
- config set model <model-id> — set via config
- Edit settings.json directly with a "model" key Would like to have this, e.g, /sc:research could use Sonnet while doing a web search and Opus while consolidating (or, at least be configurable to do this).
These are the changes I made for research skill:

88 +## Model Routing
89 +
90 +Use the Agent tool's `model` parameter to route sub-tasks to the appropriate model:
91 +
92 +**Search/Execute phase** (steps 1-5: Understand, Plan, TodoWrite, Execute, Track):
93 +- Spawn agents with `model: "sonnet"` — parallel web searches, content extraction, multi-hop exploration, and progress tracking prioritize speed over depth.
94 +
95 +**Consolidation phase** (step 6: Validate + final report synthesis):
96 +- Use `model: "opus"` for agent spawns, or handle inline (main session) — evidence verification, contradiction resolution, and report generation benefit from deeper reasoning.
97 +
98 +Example:
99 +```
100 +# Search phase
101 +Agent(subagent_type="deep-research-agent", model="sonnet", prompt="Search for X...")
102 +
103 +# Consolidation phase
104 +Agent(subagent_type="deep-research-agent", model="opus", prompt="Synthesize findings and verify...")
105 +```
