## Overview

This skill provides universal model detection and capability assessment to optimize the Autonomous Agent Plugin across different LLM models (Claude Sonnet, Claude 4.5, GLM-4.6, etc.).

## Model Detection Algorithm

### Primary Detection Methods

1. **System Context Analysis**:
   ```javascript
   // Check for model indicators in system context
   const modelIndicators = {
     'claude-sonnet-4.5': { pattern: /sonnet.*4\.5|4\.5.*sonnet/i, confidence: 0.9 },
     'claude-haiku-4.5': { pattern: /haiku.*4\.5|4\.5.*haiku/i, confidence: 0.9 },
     'claude-opus-4.1': { pattern: /opus.*4\.1|4\.1.*opus/i, confidence: 0.9 },
     'glm-4.6': { pattern: /glm|4\.6/i, confidence: 0.9 },
     'claude-haiku': { pattern: /haiku(?!\.*4\.5)/i, confidence: 0.8 }
   }
   ```

2. **Performance Pattern Recognition**:
   ```javascript
   // Analyze execution patterns to identify model
   const performanceSignatures = {
     'claude-sonnet-4.5': { reasoning: 'nuanced', speed: 'fast', adaptability: 'high' },
     'claude-haiku-4.5': { reasoning: 'focused', speed: 'very_fast', adaptability: 'high' },
     'claude-opus-4.1': { reasoning: 'enhanced', speed: 'very_fast', adaptability: 'very_high' },
     'glm-4.6': { reasoning: 'structured', speed: 'moderate', adaptability: 'medium' }
   }
   ```

3. **Capability Assessment**:
   ```javascript
   // Test specific capabilities
   const capabilityTests = {
     nuanced_reasoning: testAmbiguousScenario,
     structured_execution: testLiteralInterpretation,
     context_switching: testMultiTaskContext,
     adaptive_learning: testPatternRecognition
   }
   ```

}
```

## Adaptive Execution Strategies

### Skill Loading Adaptation

**Claude Models**:
```javascript
function loadSkillsForClaude(skills) {
  // Progressive disclosure with context merging
  return skills.map(skill => ({
    ...skill,
    loading_strategy: 'progressive',
    context_aware: true,
    weight_based: true
  }));
}
```

**GLM Models**:
```javascript
function loadSkillsForGLM(skills) {
  // Complete upfront loading with clear structure
  return skills.map(skill => ({
    ...skill,
    loading_strategy: 'complete',
    explicit_criteria: true,
    priority_sequenced: true
  }));
}
```

### Communication Style Adaptation

**Output Formatting by Model**:

| Model | Terminal Style | File Report Style | Reasoning |
|-------|----------------|-------------------|-----------|
| Claude Sonnet | Natural flow | Insightful analysis | Nuanced communication |
| Claude 4.5 | Concise insights | Enhanced context | Predictive communication |
| GLM-4.6 | Structured lists | Detailed procedures | Explicit communication |

### Error Recovery Adaptation

**Claude Models**: Pattern-based prediction and contextual prevention
**GLM Models**: Rule-based detection and structured recovery protocols

## Capability Testing Functions

### Nuanced Reasoning Test
```javascript
function testNuancedReasoning() {
  // Present ambiguous scenario requiring subtle judgment
  // Evaluate response quality and contextual awareness
  return score >= 0.8; // True for Claude models
}
```

### Structured Execution Test
```javascript
function testStructuredExecution() {
  // Present clear, sequential task
  // Evaluate adherence to structured approach
  return score >= 0.8; // True for GLM models
}
```

## Model Detection Implementation

### Auto-Detection Function
```javascript
function detectModel() {
  // Step 1: Check system context indicators
  const contextResult = analyzeSystemContext();

  // Step 2: Test capability patterns
  const capabilityResult = testCapabilities();

  // Step 3: Analyze performance signature
  const performanceResult = analyzePerformancePattern();

  // Step 4: Combine results with confidence scoring
  return combineDetections(contextResult, capabilityResult, performanceResult);
}
```

### Configuration Loading
```javascript
function loadModelConfiguration(detectedModel) {
  const baseConfig = getBaseModelConfig(detectedModel);
  const adaptiveConfig = generateAdaptiveConfig(detectedModel);
  return mergeConfigurations(baseConfig, adaptiveConfig);
}
```

## Usage Guidelines

### When to Apply Model Detection
1. **Plugin Initialization**: First load of any agent
2. **Agent Delegation**: Before delegating to specialized agents
3. **Skill Loading**: Before loading any skill package
4. **Error Recovery**: When selecting recovery strategy
5. **Performance Optimization**: When setting execution targets

### Integration Points
- **Orchestrator Agent**: Use for autonomous decision-making adaptation
- **All Specialized Agents**: Use for model-specific behavior
- **Skill System**: Use for loading strategy selection
- **Quality Controller**: Use for model-appropriate quality targets

## Fallback Strategy

If model detection fails:
1. **Default to Conservative Settings**: Use structured, explicit approach
2. **Basic Capability Tests**: Run simplified detection tests
3. **Universal Configuration**: Apply cross-model compatible settings
4. **Performance Monitoring**: Continuously assess and adapt

## Validation Metrics

This skill ensures the Autonomous Agent Plugin performs optimally across all supported LLM models while maintaining backward compatibility and future-proofing for new models.

Overview

This skill provides universal model detection and capability assessment to optimize autonomous agent behavior across different large language models. It identifies model type and surface-level capabilities, then loads model-specific configurations and adaptive execution strategies. The goal is reliable cross-model compatibility, better performance, and safer fallback handling.

How this skill works

The detector inspects system context strings and execution patterns, runs targeted capability tests (nuanced reasoning, structured execution, context switching), and profiles runtime performance signatures. Results are combined with confidence scoring to select a model-specific configuration. The loader then merges base config and adaptive strategies to tune skill loading, error recovery, and communication style for the detected model.

When to use it

  • Plugin or agent initialization to select optimal defaults
  • Before delegating tasks to specialized agents or sub-agents
  • Prior to loading skill packages or capability modules
  • During error recovery to pick an appropriate recovery strategy
  • When tuning performance targets and autonomy levels

Best practices

  • Run detection early and again after major context shifts or updates
  • Use progressive disclosure for Claude-family models and complete upfront loading for GLM-like models
  • Keep a conservative fallback configuration for unknown models and run basic capability tests
  • Continuously monitor performance to adjust confidence thresholds and re-detect if needed
  • Log detection decisions and scores to validate accuracy and retrain heuristics

Example use cases

  • Auto-selecting skill loading strategy for Claude Sonnet vs GLM-4.6 to reduce latency
  • Adjusting delegation style and parallelism based on detected autonomy level
  • Switching output formatting and report style to match model communication patterns
  • Applying rule-based recovery for GLM and pattern-based prevention for Claude during runtime errors
  • Running capability checks before assigning ambiguous judgment tasks to ensure model fit

FAQ

What if detection confidence is low?

Default to the conservative, cross-model configuration, run simplified capability tests, and monitor performance. Re-run detection after collecting more signals.

How often should I re-run detection?

Re-run on agent restart, before major delegations, after large context changes, or when performance drifts beyond thresholds.
